programming-resources VS hyperpaper-planner

My personal note taking system is based on Markdown, Vim, grep and Git.

I have a private repo for personal notes, including a `todo.md` file that I use as an GTD style inbox - I have an alias `todo='$EDITOR $HOME/personal/todo.md'` which takes me there quickly.

For some topics I use other repos - for example for programming notes, I use https://github.com/ADGEfficiency/programming-resources.

Works great, fast, cheap and I don't have to put up with any of the nonsense I used to put up with when I use Evernote.

I'm a big fan of my rm2, too -- and am writing to respond to this:

> "I’d also love a more formal diary / daily entry system. Kind of like Obsidian’s daily notes. Some kind of date-based notebook inside the Remarkable would be rad (even if it doesn’t sync with your actual calendar!). A daily journaling / diary / planning format would be great. (Yes, right now you can select a day-planner template, but you can’t then see them in a calendar view - the date isn’t a foundational element of the note)."

Take a look at https://hyperpaper.me

Hey, that's me :D

Thanks for the shout-out Ethan, I'm happy to answer any questions people have about hyperpaper

Building your own templates is pretty fun, but look out because it can turn into a real rabbit hole if you get into it (in my case, a full side-project: https://hyperpaper.me)

Obligatory plug: I make a customizable planner that might work for you: https://hyperpaper.me/ There are demo files available so you can try out the pdf planner approach and see if it fits what you're looking for

Hi, I make https://hyperpaper.me/ and it's pretty customizable! For your points specifically:

use a pdf that supports extra pages per day (I make this one which lets you add 1-2 extra pages for every day)

I've done a lot of work with pdf linking for hyperpaper and link handling can be a bit finicky across e-Ink devices (not just for the rM2). In Canva do you specify the name/path for these internal links? Sometimes non-ascii characters in there aren't supported

I'm not seeing any, but there is also a paid option for creating notebooks that have a similar set of features and with more customizability: https://hyperpaper.me/. It looks like it might be more usable for left-handed people, as in the demo PDF.

pdf files that have links "baked in" before they are uploaded to the rM2 will work, however. Most software (eg Canva, InDesign, etc) for creating pdf files will support adding links in some way. Or you can use off-the-shelf tools for creating linked pdfs (https://hyperpaper.me/ is my project that does this specifically for devices like the rM2)
