Does the app support use of stylus?

DerekH

I don't see anywhere that I can write or sketch within the app. Is that possible? Would love to know before making a purchase.
Thanks

timo

No, that's currently not possible.
On Windows, you could write with the stylus, but the text is being converted to "digital", non-handwriting text

timo are there any plans for stylus implementation? Or would the development be too resource-demanding?

DerekH

Thanks for the prompt response!

If you've seen my handwriting the conversion is no bad thing! ;-)

Would love to have something like a sketchpad that ends up as an image for that day. Despite that, using the stylus for textinput is quiet helpful.

hello... i like to as well... so
bicyclist well it depends on what device you are using. if you have an ipad pro you can use an app like procreate and draw with an apple pencil then printscreen your drawing and put it on your Darium "as an attachment" for that day. save it as a .png file. of course not everyone has ipadPro - however you can easily draw with your android phone and stylus just download an app which is compatible with both ur phone & a good comfortable stylus like the app called Microsoft OneNote is a free note-taking app that works wonderfully with the S Pen and can be synchronized across almost all platforms. Unlike Microsoft's other Office apps, you don't need a subscription here. You can create a variety of notebooks, type computer text, and write handwritten text with the S Pen good luck 👍

I was going to make a request for that but I'll do it on here since this thread exists.
Would it be possible to get supported stylus input? Either that, or havesome note/drawing apps that can be imported?
I have a samsing tablet and I love using S notes, but I love everything else about Diarium.

timo

You can import any picture to Diarium, including hand-written images exported from note/drawing apps.

Currently, there are no plans for this, sorry. The feature requests that are more likely to be implemented are tagged with the "Planned" tag

other note taking apps such as OneNote, Evernote, Google Keep, Notability, Goodnotes, Xournal++, and Squid support pen input.

Hi Timo,

I see there are a few different threads with this same request (Pen/Stylus support), and I would like to request you again to check on the possibility of implementing this feature to Diarium.

Reasons why I think this would be interesting both to you as dev, and to users:

Now more and more tablets are coming with pen support (and some already with pen included)
There are also Windows tablets/notebooks with pen support
Additionally, now there are some very good e-ink tablets for note taking, that more people are getting into this type of device
I've searched and tested about 10 dif apps similar to Diarium, but none of them support pen, so if you do support it, you would be the only 'diary app' with this type of feature.

Thanks
