Following the request of @tusharhero I am going to be posting in this thread the chronological development of #Emacs Reader as it began last Feb 2025.

    @tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz Here's the first ever demo of #Emacs Reader, even before it was called Emacs Reader. I had just finished a basic dynamic module that could talk to libmupdf and render the page using SVG. If you notice, this is relying on image-mode. We eventually would give up on SVG and image-mode for performance reasons. Date: 24.03.2025

    @tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz And a few months later by May of 2025 we had already made much progress. In this demo you can see that #Emacs Reader now can render pages that are properly centered and the mode line shows the number of the current page. Those few months saw great progress in Emacs Reader, thanks to the Tushar who started helping me out with many things on the Emacs Lisp side. Date: 25.05.2025
