    Excellent point but how would you do it without an app? Even if it was Open Source and for PC it would need to be sending data to a PC to put together as a legible note. The pen itself is too underpowered to do that all on its own, the pen is just the data capturing tool. It would be a similar situation for Open Source, too, an end to development could mean an end to the devices continued usefulness.

      The difference is, if the app were open-source someone could continue developing it.

      If it’s proprietary, you’re shit out of luck.
