Saving notes in some open format (svg, xournal++, ...) in a folder of choice, so that they can be synced and opened on desktop #33

Hey there,

I suggest considering HTML as a potential format, given its openness and standardization. Integrating with the ONYX Boox Scribble SDK could enable passing Scribble input from the stylus to HTML canvas elements. This approach offers various benefits, including integration with AI APIs, seamless collaboration with online editing tools and programming suites, and enhanced accessibility options through customizable HTML templates. As someone familiar with web development, I'd be happy to create custom templates if needed.

What do you think about this proposal?

Edit: if it was done like this with AI apis you could have a tom riddle diary like template as well as much more functional templates

and additional code for making a webview scribble compatible https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/android/onyx/demo/scribble/ScribbleWebViewDemoActivity.java

This would not only be useful to open files on desktop, but more generally for backup purposes e.g. backing up to NextCloud. If the device is broken for some reason, it would at least be possible to import the files to another device and have access to the source files of the notes. The proprietary Notes app on boox devices only allows to easily back up PDF exports of the notes and while somewhat useful, this is definitely suboptimal if you heavily depend on large amounts of notes and your device breaks.
