Grimoire 1.0 beta

Grimoire 1.0 beta: a handwriting notebook for the jailbroken Kindle Scribe.

New in this beta

• Effects: open Library > Share on the Kindle, then a notebook's Effects in your browser, for transparent, recolored or filtered copies of any page: gradient ink across your writing (the Signature preset gives a transparent, trimmed signature), colored or gradient backgrounds, recolored paper lines, warmth, tint, sepia and more. Download a PNG, a zip of PNGs or a PDF; it also shows the ImageMagick command that makes the same picture.
• Share over Wi-Fi fixed: page previews no longer go missing and downloads no longer get cut off when the browser asks for several things at once.
• Share pages in your style: the browser pages use Grimoire's own gothic pixel fonts (Terminess in the Classic style).
• A logo, and a pixel bat on the Library cover.
• Lighter notebook names on the Library cards in the Gothic style.
