Hi there, wasn't there also a port to Qt?
Asking because I'd like to soonish start using that port to adapt Xournal to smaller devices (Qt phones like BlackBerry or Jolla ones) who are being built on top of Qt. I think the Qt port was done for desktop, so probably he used QT Widgets which on mobile aren't the best (no responsive UI et similia). So probably I'll have to rewrite the UI while keeping the logic/PDF handling/loading/storing + integrating some cloud saving / export (Dropbox, Box, Sync, Flickr and so on). PS: I did the adaptation of the old GTK+ code to Maemo (Nokia Maemo's devices like the N900) so I know my way around. I'm not a teacher, but a software developer, but still, same as you guys, don't have much time either :( Thanks.
