    Features are mostly similar, with one major addition (PDF annotation) and one major omission (text re-flow). So it's a trade-off.

    openboard is educational software, not one you're meant to use for the usual note-taking routine outside of class. it has a WAY more different set of features compared to write, so i don't think this is a good alternative.
