      Stylus Labs Write vs xournal opinions
      Almost everyone thinks Stylus Labs Write is a great alternative to xournal.
      After a first pratice where it is poor you see that it's minimal but very functional and it become easier to control thing than xournal. Pdf export is great, writing is better than journal, making frame is quite easy better than xournal. But you don't have the option for drawing circle.
