This is really cool! I like the idea of pen and paper as a supported UI. I’ve never found handwriting on a touchscreen to be an effective or enjoyable experience, across the myriad devices I’ve tried it on (including an iPad with an Apple Pencil). And app-based form entry is often a drag. By the time I’ve even opened the app and clicked the “new entry” button, I often could’ve been done already with a simple pen and paper.

Always welcome something new at the interface between coffee and technology. I only have dabbled in coding, but it’s my impression that serious coders more efficiently deal with CLI and sometimes feel bogged down by graphical interfaces. I’d have to be pretty caffeinated myself to interact with something like this. Also the idea of writing something down to later enter it into a database seems inefficient to my workflow at least. While that’s my unsolicited opinion, I think this likely will appeal quite nicely to a niche audience. Glad you are sharing the code, perhaps if someone runs with a graphical mobile version of this (much to your chagrin perhaps) I would give that a go.
