Hi, developer of a PDF scanning app for macOS (PDFScanner) here. I always toyed with the idea of developing a PDF engine from scratch but the spec scares me. Kudos for being that brave! Just curious: Why did you choose Objective-C for a new lib?
I have a dream... that one day people will name their projects with names that don't exist on google yet. If you search for PEP now you'll find python enhancement proposals, and the "Philippine Entertainment Portal" and the stock code for PepsiCo.
I wish that once people do name their project, they would assign it a 128-bit random number in lower case hex, and include that number on any web page that they would like people searching for their project to find. That way once I know that say PEP the PDF editor exists and find its 128-bit number (let's say that is 379dd864b16eaca3ce94c15a6bdfcc73), at least I can subsequently toss a +379dd864b16eaca3ce94c15a6bdfcc…
8^256 is a huge number.

> I wish that once people do name their project, they would assign it a 128-bit random number in lower case hex We already have something similar: URLs.

A name that doesn't exist on google? So what exactly would that be? It is very obvious if you google "pdf pep" python enhancement proposals or pepsi is not going to show up. Naming is hard, I have a dream that people would stop complaining about it. There is names/acronyms for literally everything, the chance of you finding something unique is very very small.
Nope. First page is mostly CDC, WHO, etc. Nothing about python or this project.
The UI for all of this guys apps is very strange...is this some sort of web-wrapper for OS X or custom views or what?

Thank you for understanding. :)

Although if the actual project name, authors, and codebase changes is it even still the same project?
