remarkable-engineering VS remarkable-hacks

Probably 85% of what I do with it is within xochitl, the stock interface for taking notes. I don't use ddvk—it's too annoying to keep up to date—but I do use custom templates. (I'd love an official way to install templates and persist them across upgrades.) The reMarkable was a significant upgrade from my old paper notebooks, but I really missed the engineering-style grid paper I'd been using. So I made my own templates and use them. I wouldn't say I use custom templates because I'm upset with how the reMarkable is, but I wanted a little more than it gave by default.

It's not quite the same, but I made a series of engineering grid templates with grid lines at inch and centimeter intervals (on different templates for imperial and metric).

I found this. https://gitlab.com/asciiphil/remarkable-engineering/-/tree/master There are some other engineering templates out there.

My go-to is the ⅛ʺ grid engineering template. (I may be biased; I created it.)

Don't know if this'll work for you, but I adjusted the darkness on my engineering grid templates to a level that I thought looked good both on the device and exported. Adding custom templates can be a bit of a pain, but if you want to try, this might be a solution for you.

Here's the reMarkable wiki page on templates for easy clicking. I believe this is the white lines template and this is the engineering template you mentioned. (I made the engineering grid templates, so it makes me happy to see they're useful to other people, too.)

I deal with this in a couple of ways. First, I use some custom templates with a title and date area at the top of the page. I write both in thick ballpoint pen, which is readable from the page overview. That lets me skim through all my pages and find particular ones I'm looking for.

Does anyone know if there is something similar to a bookmark feature (2.x software and https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks) for 3.x software? Anything ongoing for the next releases?

If you go the actual ddvk github page (here : https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks), you can read immediately that : Latest version supported:

Lots of info on Reddit. Link to GitHub https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks

You can have both using the switch.sh script to flip between partitions configured for 2.15 and 3.x but you can't use the same notebook. See here for latest on ddvk for 3.x.

I'm using the reMarkable 2 using reMarkable hacks for some extra utils that don't come on the stock app.

I just got my RM2 and this irritated me enough that I downgraded my firmware and installed remarkable-hacks, which has an option to disable zoom.

It doesn't officially support the 3.x software yet but you might want to keep an eye on https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks if you're looking to augment the software (especially if your rM2 still has the 2.15 software)

I know the binary patching for remarkable-hacks needs to be updated, but since the rmfakecloud just uses ssl proxying (afaik anyway) I wasn't sure if this still worked.
