Introducing Octavo, my Mac app for turning PDFs into booklets, cleaning up bad scans, printing zines, labels, and more.

If you follow me, you may have seen my #BuildInPublic journey developing it over the last few months! It's now launched, and is available on the Mac App Store for $25 (via in app purchase so you can try before you buy).

@amyworrall Congratulations! I love the 9:41 time in the screenshot, nice touch. How long did it take you to build it?

@anosidium Got the initial version done in an afternoon, but added more things to it sporadically over time. The tap handling for recalcitrant UI elements was the hardest bit. Lots of pouring over the accessibility inspector to figure out just what the test infra's view of the app was.
