Let me know what you think about Polar:

We launched about a year ago and are REALLY close to a 2.0 release.

It would be nice if you did not initiate a download on my behalf when I merely visit the "download" page via the main navigation. I would expect at least prompt for confirmation before you push a 180 MB binary to me.

I'm a huge Polar fan! I'm considering buying an iPad just for using Polar, but I was wondering about the ReMarkable as well, since I like e-ink better for reading.

Do you have any recommendations for a tablet to use with Polar?

What app do you use for Polar? I used Polar for a bit on my Mac but gave up because I do most of my reading on an iPad. Would give it another shot if I could get Polar running on iPad.

I just use it on my laptop and desktop (Mac/Linux). I think I'd prefer to use a tablet though as I'm not a huge fan of reading on computers. Currently looking around and I've seen your sentiment about Polar and iPads before. Hopefully better support is coming in the 2.0 release though.

Looks great - will check it out.

Noticed you have a typo on the homepage under the uni logos.

"Discovery why Polar [...]" should read "Discover why Polar [...]"

Oh this looks really cool and your free tier is awesome. I'm going back to school in the fall and will be giving this a shot.

Do you any plans to support math symbols in annotations?
