Exporting highlighted text pdf
I am currently reading many books and papers and use highlighting a lot. My life would be a lot better if I could automatically extract the highlighted text. I tried several (by now outdated) solutions like Biff (https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff ), RCU and https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/ . The first two are apparently outdated, and the last I can't connect to (and all my files are >4 MB, so manual select doesn't work).
- digest-like feature?
- Update: I have deployed ReMarkable Highlights

What does your Remarkable enable you to do that a nice pen and notebook do not?
How? Do you use https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff? Thanks!

Essential 3rd party highlight collection tool (Biff) needs fixing since real highlights in 2.7
I just want to spread awareness that an amazing tool first posted here (github here) is lying in destitution since the 2.7 real highlight update.
- want to install this, but have no idea how

The Quiet Rise of E Ink Tablets – ReMarkable 2 vs. Onyx Boox Note Air
> For example, there's no direct switching between documents.
In case you haven't seen it already: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks
The ddvk hacks are easy to apply and reversible. They add a bunch of gestures like instantly flipping between documents. One of my other favorites is a quick swipe gesture to switch to the last-used tool.
I don't want to annotate PDFs and then only save the annotations, but it sounds like biff would help with that if you don't mind another tool in the chain: https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff

Annotating PDF's on Remarkble 2
I use mine quite a bit for annotating documents and presentations. Provided the screen size works for you (you have to be comfortable reading somewhat smaller font sizes than usual), it's quite good for how I work. As another poster pointed out, it follows a different model than most PDF readers, in that annotations are done just like on paper; you don't select text and highlight, you just highlight like you would on paper. My first reaction was that this was lame, but I've come around to feeling that it's probably the right approach for me, in that my mind is not constantly switching between reading and selection modes. Your annotations do sync back to the computer, but to get annotations out in a way that's reusable in other software, you have to use third-party software like "Biff": https://github.com/soulisalmed/biff (there are others too) Another positive thing about it is that because the interface is very sparse and you're working with it largely like paper, you don't have to devote mental load to worrying about accidentally pressing buttons onscreen or about whether palm rejection is going to work or not (at least if you're right-handed). I find that freeing.

Export highlighted text? Getting overview of all highlights? Basic features that still are not available? Is there some roadmap as to which features are being implemented?
There's a web-app (https://remarkable-web.vercel.app) which allows you to export highlighted text. It is useful but not perfect. For some weeks (or months) it disappeared. I just ask for an official, reliable, way of doing something most 30$ ebooks can do.

Where is reMarkable-web app?
Since I discovered this app (https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/), I've been using it to extract some highlights.

Has anyone on 3.0 extracted highlights from 3rd party app?
I'm still on 2.15 and my work relies on https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/ to extract highlights from PDFs I mark up. Seems like reMarkable's updates have broken the directory browsing feature there, but I can still upload reMarkable PDFs manually and get my highlights.

3.0 and extracting highlights
They also have appeared to change the web api such that it has broken https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/.

The new 3.0 update is rough!
I can't export any annotated pdfs since the beta installed. With the desktop app or the remarkable itself. Also https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/ seems to not work with the beta. So far the beta has completely broken the pdf annotation workflow as well as problemitizing reading pdfs.

Any way around/hack for enforcing two-way sync?
Digest -- that also extracts all your highlights and notes for easy review. Here a workaround is to use https://remarkable-web.vercel.app for extracting highlights, and inserting blank pages in pdfs for more extensive notes.

Remarkable 2 as part of Readwise - Obsidian workflow
However, recently, I discovered a non-hack app that allows me to extract my highlights, export them as a Markdown file (there's the possibility to connect Readwise) and use them in Obsidian.

Features that you feel missing
Standard recognisable highlights (I made a post about it). Recently I discovered Remarkable-web, a very useful tool to extract my highlights. However this should be supported by the very company.
- rM2 is useless for me unless it features a proper highlighter tool
