I'm working on a sync tool specifically for ReMarkable to Obsidian. https://scrybble.ink It's still in beta for now, so it's definitely not flawless, but it does work! You can choose which files from your tree to sync, they will appear as pdf files in your vault.

When this gets to reasonable stability, this may be enough to get me to buy ReMarkable just for it. It might be worth seeing if they have any sort of referral program. "Buy ReMarkable through me & get X months syncing free!" type deal.

A dream would be first-party integration. Syncing from one to the other is one thing, but a first-party obsidian application running on the ReMarkable? I'd let ReMarkable hire me to make this happen if this is something they'd be interested in

(I love my current job though!)

As evidenced by a link to AlternativeTo on their own site, this space has a lot (145+) of competition [0]. At some level, I worry about using things much more complex than a text file, because of portability and longevity. It's enough of a pain transitioning between Google and Microsoft (and back) every few years based on various jobs. I have files from the late 1980's that I can still read, but only with Libre Offic…

I'm also worried by this, which is precisely why I'm considering a move to Obsidian from Notion. I'm pretty much writing everything in Markdown by now, including my personal blog.

How is moving from Obsidian to Notion relevant? They're basically the same thing?

Fixed, I keep forgetting I got a novelty tld (.ink) rather than .com :p

Cool project! Note that if you want to support the Remarkable scribbles, there's a Python project that does that: https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl

It's called scrybble because it already supports scribbles and highlights :p

Hey, I just paid for a subscription but I'm getting a 500 on the manage membership page - any idea what's up with that?

Page is fixed!

Just purchased the "Early bird tier" to give it a try. I just get a "500 Server Error" when clicking the "View Content" link in gumroad.

Just fixed the error, I was loading an old page

I've been concerned about Obsidian sync. IIRC, data goes to AWS servers but where does it go from there? From reading the Obsidian website, they seem a tiny company. However, it is unclear where they are based and, therefore, what legal obligations they are operating under. What more, Obsidian has so far avoided the levels of compliance that allows for adoption by big businesses. I love me some Obsidian but I'm mindf…

No, we do not use AWS. The Sync and Publish servers are running in Digital Ocean datacenters in the US. How sync encrypts the data is documented here: https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Sync/Security+and+privacy

As others have already pointed out, Sync is not the only option to synchronize notes, Obsidian sync is just a convenience option.

For compliance, I am guessing you mean certs like SOC 2 / ISO 27001?, or what are you referencing? As we are a tiny company (6 people, not all full time) we just can't expense the time needed to get such a certificate.

The roadmap says it doesn't support notebooks or quick sheets though. Those are kind of the main feature of the remarkable.

EDIT: Roadmap updated, so we're on the same page :)

I'm not 100% certain about quick sheets just yet, I'm going to do a more thorough test soon, but notebooks _are_ supported as of last week, the Roadmap hadn't been updated yet.

Good catch though! Thanks

Cool, can't wait to try it out. Would love to move to obsidian fully, as of now I'm also using Joplin for my main set of notes. btw this plugin really reminds me of a piece of software that I had seen here sometime. An infinite zooming/nesting of notes was the main concept of it, does that ring a bell for anyone?

kind of sounds like workflowy, or dynalist (which is made by the same people who make obsidian!)
