Lector, our open-source PDF viewer

Rebuilt the PDF viewer from the ground up for significantly improved performance and reduced resource usage. This includes a new keyword search interface with much improved results highlighting.
You can now import hosted PDFs and YouTube videos by adding “anara.com” in front of URLs. For example visiting anara.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFwCGECvq4I will import this video into your library.
We added an empty state view to the chat window, displaying a summary of the item in view along with suggested prompts to get a conversation started.
