Tried the demo on desktop. Processing took a few minutes for a standard JPEG, and when it "finished" the Download button redirected to an API endpoint that returned "invalid params," so I couldn’t save. Do you have client vs server details you can share? A visible progress indicator and an error toast with a retry link would help debug.

Notepad has always been about simplicity. Adding AI feels like bloat opposed to a feature users were asking for (or would ever want.) Local models are fine, but tying them to Copilot PCs or subscriptions just fragments the user base. If Microsoft wants this to stick, they should make it optional, and stop slowing down the tool people actually rely on.

Looks like it would be quite a handy tool for academics working with ArXiv papers together. Maybe lower friction to register, a live demo or at least a sign in with Google option may be beneficial? Do you have any plans to make it open source? Thank you and great work thanks for posting
