remarkable2-framebuffer VS hyperpaper-planner

Looks like rm2fb is now installed by default: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer/issues/90

We can currently hook into it, but only to obtain the framebuffer or send updates ourselves. 3rd party mods use remarkable-framebuffer which does the injection and easily enables 3rd party community apps/mods to use the screen.

Is is safe? there are issues like this or this

Instructions here, at the end of the "Configuration" section. Please not, however, that these settings were only added to the rm2fb repo 11 hours ago (commit). So again, best to check that up-to-date settings exist before upgrading your firmware.

It's an eInk screen, so yes-ish.

We get around this by just piggybacking on the build in application's screen display routines[0]

Have you installed rm2fb? https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer

This seems to have updated all the installed components. In particular, rm2fb is now on the latest release which, if I'm understanding correctly, supports 2.9. ("Support for release 2.9.0.210")

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)."

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)
