    I bought a ReMarkable 2 a couple of years ago with far higher hopes of hackability than it ultimately ended up supporting. Ended up selling it a few months ago after it just couldn't fit into any of my usecases.

    I think ReMarkable is wasting a TON of potential at their price/form factor/ux. A device can be powerful without sacrificing simplicity and singularity of purpose.

      It's selling point is a lack of features. There's no web browser, no Instagram, no Facebook or Slack. No messaging. Just a digital piece of paper. No distractions. If you give me a way to get reddit on there, the device is ruined.

    I've had a reMarkable 2 since 2020 or so. To be honest, the only area of the device I have ever wanted to be hackable was the sync API. I am completely satisfied with the gestures, e-reader and pretty much everything else. But what I'd love to be able to do is to access my files, stored in the cloud, automatically. My use case in particular would be something that passively converts my scribbled annotations into other things.

    The API hacking scene is very much dead. Most API implementations have been unmaintained for years now and no longer work. It's a real shame.

    Remarkable means subscription. And I *DO NOT* want that. If this could support self hosted stuff like Nextcloud or something? Or a simple shared folder?

    RSS or Pocket client?

    But no, nothing, just the subscription stuff. So it's a no from me.

    I would be so into the ReMarkable if it has an "app store", if I could write an RSS client.

      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 tablet; I built a little service that builds a pdf "newspaper" twice daily and sends it to Google Drive. Very nice to read my feeds on the rM2 instead of a glowing screen

      An RSS client without a web browser, which the team is fervently opposed to?
