    A curated list of projects related to the reMarkable tablet

    > As much as I love the hacker spirit of cracking open hardware and software and bending it to your will (whether or not it was designed towards that end), I enjoy my reMarkable precisely because I can get away from the ubiquity of computing and needing to constantly tinker with and repair software.

    Personally I completely agree with you, and could have written almost exactly that paragraph - I too have a ReMarkable (the 2nd / current version), and love using it as it ships for both note taking and especially for reading ebooks/PDFs ("especially" just because it's what I use it for more, not because that's what it's better at - in fact, it's UI for reading documents is among its weaker points and I hope they improve it in future software updates).

    However it's worth pointing out that you can SSH into it, and there are a fair few 3rd party tools and hacks for it - so far I've avoided trying any of them as there's nothing that I want enough to have even a 1% risk of bricking it to worry about. But I'm tempted to start playing around with it someday.

    This is the best list of stuff for the ReMarkable that I'm aware of, though I don't know how complete it is / how many released tools or guides there might be that aren't included here:

  9. 37reader

    repo for the 3.7" eReader

    At one point I had a post on reddit about it, but I ended up deleting that. However my post did get scraped by hackster.io so here is the link to their post. https://www.hackster.io/news/diy-e-reader-incorporates-mecha... and here is my github. https://github.com/bwkrayb/37reader

    Doing a write up has been a plan of mine for a while now lol I bought a 3d printer to move on from the gutted airpods box and a case has been in a half printed state just waiting for me to design the rest of it. I've run into a creative wall and haven't gotten much further.

    Experimental driver for the reMarkable 2 E-Ink display

    Not exactly true. there is an experimental display driver that does not require xochitl[0]. There hasn't been enough need for replacing the current rm2fb solution yet to drive completing it yet.
