What does HackerNews think of gromit-mpx?

Gromit-MPX is an on-screen annotation tool that works with any Unix desktop environment under X11 as well as Wayland.

Language: C

I have an XP-Pen as well. Works great in Linux. I'm still amazed at how high quality these non-Wacom tablets are today. I had one of those cheap 6" Wacom Graphites back in the early 2000s and that was the best you could get. My XP-Pen blows that thing away. Still haven't found a great place to put it though. I'm just stashing it off to the side but it's awkward moving it around all the time.

If you're on Linux, Gromit-MPX is a great companion app to annotate anything on your desktop. https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) - Provides the screens/windows to the conf call as well as your camera shot.

Gromit-MPX - Allows drawing overtop whatever screen/window you'd like.

Wacom Intuous - Much nicer to draw with than a mouse or finger.

Used to use something like this all the time in compiz fusion with a graphics tablet, before spinning the 3D desktop around with a key combination and firing up some completely different workload on the rear face of the cube. Ahh, those were the days. Seriously though, if you like writing on the screen and haven't got a graphics tablet yet, get one. It's like a revelation if you do most of anything that is mouse intensive, and your future arthritic hands will thank you for it.
