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 into the belief that real estate leverage is an unalloyed g

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-US/docs/Learn_web_developme...

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 design, it's still a device with a screen that doesn't

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 of my favourite uses for the tabl

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 didn't work for you at all? Always looking to improv

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) are both absolute classics

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-eink

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 $500/mo threshold :) https://hyper

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 had heard), but I wasn't sure how much of that was due t

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 page (though you can duplicate a page with that templa

I haven't used a Daylight (yet) but here's a side-by-side video of them being used in sunlight: https://x.com/daylightco/status/1808213555579441214 The reMarkable has better contrast, viewing angle, and

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 notebooks feel very limited by comparison

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 work. I also came across https://comparisonta

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 laptop or phone. I used a traditional web-based RSS re

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

by funksta 2y ago
Furthermore, reMarkable doesn't actually sync anything. You can download files from the cloud but it's a one-way, user-initiated thing

I did not pick up on the frontlight/backlight distinction when reading the overview, thanks! Seems like some very novel tech here, I'd love to see more technical details when they're revealed

Very cool! Thank you, I will be following closely and may convince myself to join Batch 3 :) And will probably reach out in a few days (I'm sure you're quite busy right now!)

Big reMarkable 2 fan here, and it's very intriguing to see some competition to traditional eInk! Coming from the rM2, my immediate concerns are display density, and impact of the light on writing feel (both reMarkable and Ratta claim t
