Is there a set of guidelines/SDK with examples to make eink apps that use pen?
Most vendors do not publish their SDK to developers. However, you could try Onyx sdk if you want to inegrate their pen feature on BOOX devices. https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo

ReMarkable 2
> I am
Feel free to join - I find there to be no good community for this so far (there was one on Discord, but the owner nuked it).
> There seems to be private APIs to do great software
Boox has an SDK that is a little bit documented here: https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo
It's a bit hard to understand what component to use for what, if my motivation allows and you're interested I can look for my notes about it. I've personally used the third-party PNGNote as a nice reference: https://github.com/karino2/PngNote
- Are the Boox API for pen interaction available somewhere or upon request?

Feature Request: Automatic adaptation of the backlight on Boox devices, based on time. Brighter during the day and warmer in the evening.
I've sent a request for better frontlight management since 2019. I resent the request as suggestion on the Boox Discussion Group for beta testers of Android 9 on 1st generation android devices. I received no feedback from Boox about plans to implement any enhancements, no comments on my suggestions. I also sent feedback about the lack of feedback. I ended up writing Gentle Glow. Now it's broken on the latest devices with no warning, I've created https://github.com/onyx-intl/OnyxAndroidDemo/issues/69 and I hope this time I'll get some help.

Show HN: CLI for generating beautiful PDF for offline reading
Somewhat similarly, I wrote a web app to generate epub (instead of pdf) out of urls and send to eink reader(s) directly (via a telegram bot) so I can read them. Currently it supports sending epub by email (for kindle) or uploading epub to dropbox (for kobo, etc.). It originally also supports reMarkable cloud but we can no longer make reMarkable cloud actually work. There's also a REST api to generate epub to be downloaded directly: https://github.com/fishy/url2epub/blob/main/REST.md
For e-ink readers epubs are generally better than PDFs for urls anyways, as epubs are basically packed htmls, and also the flow text works better on smaller screens.

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
I wrote a service (Google Cloud Run as the backend, with Telegram bot as the frontend) to generate readable ePub from URLs and send directly to e-ink readers. It was originally wrote for reMarkable 2 (using reMarkable cloud), I recently added support for Kindle (by using the send-to-kindle emails). The code is at https://github.com/fishy/url2epub and I blogged about the recently added kindle support at https://b.yuxuan.org/url2epub-kindle.
I'm open to suggestions on what other e-ink platforms to add, as long as they have a reasonable cloud API. I'm also looking for a good e-ink platform to move to personally, as it becomes apparent that reMarkable really doesn't want third parties to use their proprietary cloud "API".

ReMarkable 2
2. It's a relatively open system (compared to other e-ink readers), so it's pretty fun in terms of hackability.
I did get the forever free subscription which helps, but I also totally understand why they would want to charge for that, and I think the new $3/month is a pretty reasonable price for it.
Regarding instapaper use case and also hackability, shameless plug: I wrote https://github.com/fishy/url2epub for my own use case, so instead of relying on a third party service and manually sync stuff to reMarkable 2, I just send the link to the telegram bot (I picked telegram bot so that I can easily send links from my phone, not only desktops), and the epub will be auto synced to my reMarkable cloud account (they did made some changes to the cloud api causing I have to manually open their official mobile or desktop app to sync once before the reMarkable 2 itself would accept the new epub I uploaded through url2epub, haven't figured out how to avoid that yet, but it's still mostly automated).

For reMarkable, I also wrote a Telegram bot to convert http url into ePub and send to reMarkable directly: https://github.com/fishy/url2epub
(if you don't like telegram or don't use reMarkable, it also comes with a public rest API to generate epub out of urls)

Show HN: Epub.to – ePub to pdf, ePub to mobi, ePub to kindle, and an ePub API
Shameless plug and this is only loosely related: Over the last holiday season I wrote a backend (written in Go and running on App Engine) to convert http url into epub. The frontend is a telegram bot that sends the epub to your reMarkable account directly, but it also has rest api to download the epub file: https://github.com/fishy/url2epub/blob/main/REST.md

Show HN: Create ePub Out of URL
With the purchase of reMarkable 2, I have this need to easily send web articles to my reMarkable 2 from my phone, while officially they only provided a Chrome extension, which can only be used on desktops.
As a result I wrote some go code (https://github.com/fishy/url2epub) for the past 2 days, to generate ePub from URL. I also implemented reMarkable API to send them to reMarkable tablets directly.
The current UI for it is implemented as a Telegram bot (https://t.me/url2rM_bot?start=1), running on AppEngine (code: https://github.com/fishy/url2epub/tree/main/appengine). I initially considered making an Android app for the UI, but decided that Telegram bot is less work for me, and works good enough for this use case (sorry for people who don't use Telegram, but this also means that people on iOS, desktop, etc. will be able to use it).
For the future, I might do:
- Expand the URLs supported (currently it only supports URLs with an AMP version provided, and the AMP version does have article tag inside)
