I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.
Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.
I have now put together usecases & broad ideas into this #GNOMEPapers ticket: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/papers/-/issues/236
