Write With A Mixoo Stylus ?


Recommended Posts

hello all,

 

 

I just purchased one stylus model for Mixoo Asin: B073HWYK1T on Amazon.

 

 

For handwriting notes? Say when proof reading / editing?


That's something I'm keen to look into, although where my investigations will sit on our development timeline...


Scrivener isn't currently geared up for hand written notes as a layer atop text. I think I'll need Keith in an exceptionally good mood to raise the possibility of enabling the feature across the product line. If Scrivener can handle it, and the iPen takes off then of course it's much more likely we'll look at integrating.


In my own work I use comments quite heavily, being able to scrawl (rather than type) notes on the iPad and have those same hand written comments linked to the text and visible on the desktop would suit me down to the ground, even if the scrawl-note (I'm making up terms here) is just an inline / nested image.

 

 

Here is the Asin: B073HWYK1T(Mixoo) on Amazon.

 

 

About this stylus:

 

 

Length:5.5"(140mm)
Pen tube diameter 0.35"(9.5mm)
Disc diameter: 0.27" (6.8mm)(2mm rubber point)
Fiber tip Diameter:0.24 (6mm)
Weight: 24g
Material: Stainless steel, Aluminum


As to the iPen, it looks good. I was lucky enough to get in at the early-bird pledge stage so come January I should have an iPen in my mitts. The hardware's been available from other sources (I can't re-find the link but I saw it on a DE site for about €130 I think), so I wonder if Cregle have simply purchased the designs / rights. If so then the hardware might be mature enough to work as they say it will and not have too many delays in launching.


If and when I get the chance, I'll have a look at the development work. I suspect (Okay I know for a fact) that adding Scrawl Compatibility into the iOS app will be the "easy" bit. Getting it to work in a way that's good for everyone and good for the desktop will form the bulk of the work.


So in summary, it's on the "Things I want to look at and discuss with the team" list, and not yet on the "Definitely going to be there in v1.0" list.

I am very puzzled about this question.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
