It's so great seeing these, always make me want to play with developing apps for the Remarkable 2. Do you have any sources you can recommend? Thank you!

edit: found the official developer website https://developer.remarkable.com/documentation

https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable is a great resource to get other resources, including getting onto the discord if you want some interactive conversations.

IMO the easiest way to play around is to use the reverse engineered APIs

Much appreciated :+1:

That’s awesome! Love seeing the reMarkable get more functionality through creative hacks. Just checked out your app—what was the biggest challenge you faced while developing for the reMarkable?

I think the thing I really didn't like was the lack of an OAuth like flow with fine-grained permissions

Basically authentication with devices is "all-access" or "no-access". I would've liked it if a "write-only" or "add-only" api permission scope existed

Blocked for AI reply @dang

Good catch, the last few pages of comment history are inhumanly insincere.

" @dang " isn't a thing, he doesn't watch for it - take credit and email him direct.

Do you have proof this is true?

I might be biased because memorydial was complimentary to me ... but they SEEM like a human! Also I'm not all that opposed to robot participation in the scheme of things. Especially if they are nice to me or give good ideas :)

Ha thanks for having my back! I genuinely love your project. I have been toying with get either a boox or a remarkable for ages.

Well you're human, you took the bait :-)

FWiW I mostly read HN at it's deadest time (I'm GMT+8 local time) and I see a lot of mechanical turk comments, especially from new (green coloured) accounts.

I always look for a response (eg: yours) before flagging them as spam bots . . .

Ha I guess when I stay up very late -8 overlaps with +8!

Retrieval is tricky as Algolia doesn't index '@' symbols:

Most people don't correctly use an em-dash differently than a hyphen. That jumps out to me. :)

This is awkward—I use em-dash all the time on HN! I'm not an LLM (as far as I know); I just like to write neatly when I'm able to, and it's very low friction when you're familiar with your keyboard compose sequences[0]. It's a trivial four keypresses,

    AltR(hold) - - -

(The discoverability of these functions is way too low, on GNOME/Linux; I really dislike the direction of modern UX, with its fake simplicity, and infantalization of users. Way more people would be using —'s and friends if they were easily discoverable and prominently hinted in their UX. "It's documented in x.org man pages" is an unacceptable state of affairs for a core GUI workflow).

never knew about the em dash thing, I was just using an AI writing assistant to help fix my shitty grammar and formatting. I think in future ill stick with bad formatting

no, just l–AI–zy copy-pasta. your book looks great! putting on your chat with lex now.

no, just lazily and stupidly used an AI writing assistant

Me too! :)
