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 …

"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…

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…

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…
