Plumbago --- new Microsoft note-taking app

Available here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/plumbago-a-microsoft-garage-project/9nblggh5gk42

Found via reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/46ke77/plumbago_a_microsoft_garage_app_made_for_taking/

 

And a blog post about it which was presumably the initial announcement: http://blogs.microsoft.com/firehose...e-app-plumbago-reimagines-digital-notetaking/

Good news is, it works in Windows 8.1, so will have to try it out when I get home.

What an odd name...will try it out!
Thanks for the find!

 

Tried it. Rather liked what has been done thus far.

Problems/ feature requests:

- Doesn't like the tablet up side down
- Limited pen selection. Why do so few programs support a chisel-edged italic nib?

The colour wheel is quite nice and I like the gridded page layout.

Couldn't figure out how to write a review though.

 

Smoothing doesn't seem to work. There are random glitches in curved strokes whether smoothing is set 0 or cranked up to 10. Also seeing lag and missed strokes on an SP4. I received reports of similar problems on SP3s.

 

It cuts off many of my quick strokes on my new SP4 (I write in block print). I installed this before using OneNote and thought the SP4 pen was just crappy compared to my SP2, but it's just a Plumbago problem (whew).

 

Doesn't support notebooks in the cloud do for a multiple devices gal it becomes a tad cumbersome. But it looks nice, looks like good shopping lists

Twitter is to communications as haiku is to literature.

 

...Inkseine for the 21st Century...?

surfaceproartist: I'm curious. Have you tried it on the Z Canvas?

 

I thought the same thing when i saw it, Is it wrong that I prefer InkSeine?
