This is phenomenal! I've been looking for something like this for a couple of years and am really excited to see someone building it.

When do you expect the Mac/Linux builds to drop? Is there any way to follow your progress / support?

There is an open github issue on the linux build. Currently the project builds and works on linux without any issues. The only thing remaining is packaging the executable so that the user doesn't have to manually install all the libraries which is probably very simple but it is taking me a long time because I am a noob when it comes to linux buils :/ .

The Mac version may take longer simply because I don't have access to a mac computer. Though theoretically it should compile on mac right now.

FYI : I just tried to run it with Playonlinux under linux and it's a semi-victory: it runs, but the pdf rendering window (the main window) is blank...
