    Leverage is great when prices are increasing, but not when prices are moving in the opposite direction. The recent 40-year trend of decreasing interest rates lulled a lot of people…

    Aren't Cascade Layers [1] a more reliable, native solution to the specificity problem? In 2026, why not lean on them instead of source order? [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-U…

    I agree, absolutely love my reMarkable for those reasons, as well as not needing to manage the _annoying_ physical properties of paper (storage, organization) any more

    This was my gut reaction as well as an eInk enthusiast, but I think the author is looking for something quite different. As much as the rM is a calmer, slower-paced device by desig…

    They don't have an app store but they have quietly released an SDK, so maybe that will happen at some point: https://developer.remarkable.com/documentation/sdk RSS is actually one …

    Hi, hyperpaper creator here– sorry it didn't work for you :( Just curious if there were any problems specifically with the planner, or if it was just the fact that the rM really di…

    It's heavily inspired by Arc

    "The band released several unheralded albums in the '70s but never reached the height of 1969 again" That's a questionable take– "There's a Riot Goin On" (1971) and Fresh (1973) ar…

    I think the reMarkable is very much in the spirit of using paper, despite it being electronic. It's quite a fun little gaming device: https://hyperpaper.me/blog/fun-and-games-on-ei…

    I've been using "pdfcpu optimize" as a post-processing step for dynamically generated pdfs for several years now. Simple, well-documented, and fast. I've been very happy with it

    Thanks for the heads up! That page is normally very fast but I can reproduce those images loading slowly. Will investigate...

    I've built a custom planner/calendar generator targeting e-ink tablets like the reMarkable, Supernote, and Kindle Scribe. Revenue is highly seasonal, but now consistently over the …

    Great podcast and I really enjoyed their MSFT episodes. I thought their pro-Ballmer angle was interesting at the time too (it was the first long-form defense of his tenure that I h…

    On the reMarkable at least, you can: * move pages around in the pdf * add or duplicate pages * delete pages You can't: * move a page to another notebook * change the template for a…

    Many rM owners (myself included) work around the template limitations by using pdfs as "templates" and writing on them. This covers probably 95% of my use of the device, their note…

    I believe he has said the Supernote A5X is his favourite. There's a newer A5X2 coming out later this year to update it (though it has repeatedly been delayed)

    Ewritable is definitely my go-to resource for comparing eInk tablets (I'm a big fan of the space). Hopefully it survives the hug of death soon so more folks can discover his hard w…

    The fact that XSS isn't covered (or even mentioned!) in an article about building your own HTML templating system is a major, and dangerous, oversight

    I've built something similar for myself (generating 2x-per-day pdfs for my reMarkable 2) and it's so nice to catch up on internet news on this kind of calm device instead of a lapt…

    Sorry, you're right in terms of their own cloud. I meant the syncing with Google Drive, Dropbox, etc, which is quite limited
