New Simple Scan Designs Emerge; Seeking Devs to Implement Them

 By Andrew Powell Development

Simple Scan is one of my personal favourite and perhaps even one of the "essential" apps on the Linux desktop for me. It does what it says on the tin: it's simple and it scans, with a nice preview system and enough options to be decently functional. Some new designs for the app have…
