Remember the 3 small plugins? Thanks to your feedback they grew up: new names, new pixel-art icons and lots of new features. Install over the old versions, your settings are kept.

Snap (formerly ShapeSnap): draw it, hold, it snaps

Snap

Draw a circle, rectangle, arrow, coordinate axes, curly brace or square root, hold the pen a moment, and it becomes a perfect shape in your current pen.

• Hold to snap (350 ms by default), so normal writing is never touched
• Tiny shapes down to ~1 mm (an "o" stays an "o")
• Axes at any angle, with ticks; rectangles, arrows and axes straighten within 8° (adjustable)
• Compact settings, one tap away in the plugins menu
• Works in notes and PDFs

Palette (formerly Stroke Width): restyle any lasso selection

Palette

Lasso strokes or shapes, tap Palette:

• Width 0.1 to 3.5 (beyond the pen menu), or "= pen"
• Colour: white, light gray, dark gray, black
• Dashed lines (dashed, long dashes, dotted, centre line), following curves
• Hatching / or \, black or gray, adjustable density
• Solid fills in 4 grays, even inside hand-drawn shapes (several strokes, erased and joined, with holes); perfect shapes get an exact edge-to-edge fill
• Works right after moving or resizing a selection
• In PDFs: fills, hatching and single-shape width/colour (the rest isn't stable there yet)

Swipe (formerly SwipeSwitch)

Same 2- or 3-finger gestures, each with its own action, per orientation.

• New: your note is saved before switching files, so nothing you just wrote can be lost

Install

Download the .snplg from each release, copy it to MyStyle, then Settings → Apps → Plugins → Add plugin.

Good to know: some edits go through SDK calls that clear the page's undo history (known SDK limitation, reported to Ratta). Tested on a Manta, firmware 3.29 beta. Free and open source (MIT), not affiliated with Ratta. Feedback and ideas very welcome!

The number of available plugins seems to stabilize a bit and most of them now incorporate the permission system. I have installed and tried out (almost) all of them, just for fun, and I am still impressed by the creativity of the authors. For every new plugin installed, I had to disable or remove another one, due to the set limit of 10 active plugins. A limit that is very welcome, otherwise one simply loses track.

I use my Nomad almost exclusively for writing and taking notes, at home and in the office. After months and months of installing and removing plugins, these are the ones that have remained on my device and are used pretty much daily:

• Superdashboard
• SNFolio
• Align
• Make space
• Restyle
• Sticker

Then there are three other very useful plugins, that are used somewhat less frequently:

• Clipper
• Listsorter
• SN Draft

I have still room for one more plugin: suggestions are welcome! 😄

Hi dev community and u/Dunn-sn and u/Mulan-sn,

I am doing regular updates of my plugins, are the users informed when I push an updtae on InkHub ?

If not, could we have a method on the plugin API to check on InkHub and notify the user that a new version is available ?

Thank you,
