  1. linux

    Linux kernel for reMarkable 1 & 2. zero-sugar is rM2 and zero-gravitas is rM1. (by reMarkable)

    3.x support will come to toltec, I've been blocked by stuff outside of my control a couple of times. Including things happening in my life that I won't get into.

    You can see the current progress here: https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec/issues/820

    As for the comment on the kernel change, that was actually an ask by someone in the community: https://github.com/reMarkable/linux/issues/8

  3. hyperpaper-planner

    Dayplanner pdf for large e-readers (eg Remarkable 2, Supernote, Kindle Scribe, Boox)

    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)."

    Take a look at https://hyperpaper.me

  4. recalendar.js

    ReCalendar - create your personalized calendar PDF for ReMarkable tablets

    There's also https://recalendar.me/ that does something similar and is open source. It does struggle with larger documents, but everything happens locally.

  5. toltec

    Discontinued Community-maintained repository of free software for the reMarkable tablet.

    3.x support will come to toltec, I've been blocked by stuff outside of my control a couple of times. Including things happening in my life that I won't get into.

    As for the comment on the kernel change, that was actually an ask by someone in the community: https://github.com/reMarkable/linux/issues/8

  6. linux-surface

    Linux Kernel for Surface Devices

    Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.

    I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.

    I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.

    So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.

    ```

    while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,move $INPUT;
