Inspiration

I do a type of speech and debate at school called Extemporaneous speaking or simply extemp, in which we highlight and save news articles from the internet every week as PDF files in a shared Dropbox, so we can later access them when writing speeches. I wanted to be able to do it without my PC, and no iPad app I could find could do a full-page web screenshot in-browser and immediately allow you to highlight and export the PDF.

How it works

Written in objective-c.

Challenges I ran into

Actually processing the PDF and doing highlighting of the webpages were my biggest challenges, and those tiny iOS UI bugs were the most time-consuming to figure out.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

My first iOS app in the App Store.

What's next for Uberhighlighter

Tabbed browsing support would be a great future update!
