For me, having a couple of themes/ colour options would be nice

Aside from that I personally appreciate the simplicity. It's a nice change

I'm not sure which version of our mobile app you are using

I have recently installed so I would say the August one

We've launched a full-featured mobile app

Not sure I would call it full featured as you cannot add whiteboards, move objects or add cards to the whiteboard. Not saying it does not have any features. What it does do it does good. Considering using app in school in April so trying to figure if it can be used by then as I use an iPad

Biggest hiccup for me it that I cannot add cards to a whiteboard. Everything gets put into 1 large pot in the card library. If I could group together then could manage to use. See Discord later (when not juggling AMA session) where I dive into more details

Our goal is to eventually make the iPad version fully functional like the desktop app

That's what I wanted to know about. Great to hear. Wondering when that will start being worked on. Or if you're already working on that

As for PDFs: We're not sure about 1 and 2 yet. They're more technical challenges than design choices

I understand it would be a challenge & may not occur at the moment. Was wondering if these are things that would be tackled at some pt. Otherwise, using HB for annotations basically lock your annotations into HB

As for 3, I'm not sure what you mean. We do support pulling all your PDF highlights and annotations onto the whiteboards.

Pulling them to the whiteboard is a great feature. Meant more visual. Where you can visually so the connections like how you can draw connections between your cards

In liquid text they do this. Watch the link (timestamp is bookmarked) & I think it will be more clear. It would allow the pdf to work more like the rest of the app. The dream would be if LT could be integrated

Thanks for doing this & answering all these questions. Hard to get a hold of you in Discord due to how busy you are. Appreciate this session

Cheers

Loving the app so far. Used it back when it was Meta. Exploring the app again to help with my learning needs plus various other reasons

My Qs:

At the moment the usage of mobile is limiting

  1. When do you think the team will begin to focus on mobile?
  2. When you think of mobile what do you visualize as the end result/ how do you think it will fit into the rest of the app from a workflow perspective?

PDFs: Other TFTs with PDF features I have used connect things up like HB is doing but fall short in some areas

  1. Annotations that existed prior to being uploaded to these apps are lost once uploaded to the app. So you have to start from scratch. The annotations can only be created in their app. Does/ will HB allow PDFs to be uploaded & honor annotations from other PDF editors?
  2. In apps as listed above you cannot export any highlights created in said app. You may have created many annotations but if you export the app to others/ for variety of other reasons it is a PDF without highlights. Does/ will HB allow PDFs to be exported with the annotations that were created in HB?
  3. Will HB add features to the PDF reader to make it more visual/ connected like the rest of the app. IE visual links like Liquid Text does with their ink linking (or would 100% love an integration)?

Thanks. BTW your team is dong a great job/ love the progress that has been made
