I added a few more samples to the Evernote page.

Also I've been trying out different apps for annotating PDFs (so far I have been testing pure handwriting) and found out something really cool about Notability: it recognized the Apple Pencil automatically, and I can write with the pencil and navigate the page with my finger. This is so cool, it's exactly the way I would instinctively expect. Why don't other apps do that? I often write on the page with my finger while trying to scroll.

Notability is one of these apps I like but have never found a use for so far. It might become my preferred tool for annotating PDFs and web pages. I just tried the "send to Notability" button from Safari, and it imported this page perfectly, without the sidebars, as a PDF. This is not a feature I use often, but next time I need it I will almost certainly turn to Notability.
