A comment in the video says that the framerate is being held back primarily by network latency. Would something like mosh, which immediately updates local state based on how it thinks your input will change the state (and then applies any necessary corrections once the network round trip happens) help here? I guess it would only apply to text-based sessions, but it sounds like there's already a recommendation against using it for video content.

#62I've been using my Remarkable 2 as a terminal for Vim via SSH. Works a treat - like having a super capable typewriter: https://imgur.com/a/hyLjg14

How are you SSHing out on the Remarkable? I would be interested in picking one up for this use case.

Do you mean "how am I SSHing to the remarkable"? That's pretty straightforward - follow https://remarkablewiki.com/tech/ssh. I'm just doing it from my laptop. You don't have to SSH though, you can plug a keyboard in as well but that's a little more involved.

#65What are the current market options for e-ink /displays/devices that you could program on/ that you know of and (don't?) recommend ?
I personally use a Remarkable 1 with yaft (1) as a terminal. I connect via ssh to a tmux session for editing and the response is fast enough. 1. https://github.com/timower/rM2-stuff/tree/master/apps/yaft
I’m doing the same, though I had to fork Yaft to get a bigger font.

#66I noticed some similarities in the source code to https://github.com/baskerville/plato/
Is there some common source for Kobo-compatable rust code that you both drew from, or was plato the original source?
EDIT: Nevermind, should have looked closer, you already called out that you drew from plato

Oh I thought you were SSHing to your laptop / server from the Remarkable.

#69One of these days I'm gonna make something this cool I can show HN.
This shouldn’t be the goal
