A few feature suggestions:
* Allow setting default color mode (having to switch manually to B&W every time adds another step)
* Allow setting setting type (PDF, JPG, TXT) and size (Original, Medium, Small) in Sharing Options à la Scanner Pro[2]
* Allow sharing immediately after scanning rather than first having to tap Save then opening the image again

Re:the common “why not just use the native functionality” questions, I think the simple answer is scale. If I want to scan a random receipt I’d use Apple, but as we all know well, Apple rarely caters to power users — someone scanning multiple times a day or for hours at a time will almost definitely be better served by a dedicated app.
Side note: these (two!!) devs are killing it. Great communication (their privacy policy is top-notch), great styling, and they have a whole roster of neat apps lined up, including an Apple Vision release. Thanks for putting them on my radar, OP! https://pencilresearch.com/

Whenever im wanting to copy text on an app that hijacks the clipboard (LinkedIn/Slack) I take a screenshot, highlight the text, and copy as you would normally.
Google photos has a feature where it recognizes documents like credit cards and so you can search for them.
I guess you can provide an alt for people who didn’t activate siri.
The biggest threat to these kinds of apps is getting bought by one of the big app boutique shops and being neglected.
SwiftScan started as an ambitious project by a small shop of dedicated people, but since it has been sold it started to show some cracks.
Pretty handy! I didn’t know this feature existed, and the scanner app I had been using stopped working a couple months ago and I haven’t been able to find a replacement that I was happy with.
What else would you use? I use it quite often.
It’s weird to think Linux programs would somehow be different from Windows in this regard. Why would a program running in Linux are more altruistic (for lack of a better term) than one running in Windows?
It's an entirely different culture. Windows users are used to paying for software (starting with the OS), and Linux users aren't. So the monetization strategies are different. For Sublime, that seems to be primarily a Windows program that tried to cross over, so it's not surprising it would reflect that history.
You can get it through Books or on the web:

Apart from me apparently.
Good UX provides clues to discovering additional functionality without intruding on the user.
What’s the alternative? That’s a question for a UX team - something Apple can certainly afford.
This does that. It's behind a button that means "click this for a bunch of stuff you can do here"
(Admittedly, I have never read the manual for any iPhone I’ve owned; mea culpa)
