    Apologies for the late reply @IshKebab, I read into your recommendations and they are very interesting.

    If you wish you could copy your comment verbatim as an issue over here, so we can discuss it further: https://github.com/everydayanchovies/eink-vnc/issues

    I will have a chance to test the ping tonight, possibly.

  3. oxide

    A desktop environment for the reMarkable tablet (by Eeems-Org)

    I did this once, with a shared terminal via screen or tmux (and thus not VNC). You can install https://github.com/Eeems-Org/oxide and a terminal application via the toltec repoitories and then ssh (or mosh) from remarkable to the device that has the keyboard.

  4. vnsee

    VNC client for the reMarkable tablet allowing you to use the device as a second screen

    There's https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee if you want to use VNC as a client on your remarkable. I've used it in the past to run Chromium on a server and display it on the reMarkable: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TnNE1tdzvrwphJ8N6

  5. rM2-stuff

    Collection of reMarkable related apps, utilities and libraries.

    I personally use a Remarkable 1 with yaft (1) as a terminal. I connect via ssh to a tmux session for editing and the response is fast enough.

  6. plato

    Document reader

    I noticed some similarities in the source code to https://github.com/baskerville/plato/

    Is there some common source for Kobo-compatable rust code that you both drew from, or was plato the original source?

  7. remoteink

    📖 🖥️ Turns PocketBook E-Ink reader into a computer monitor

    A while ago, I made a similar tool for Pocketbook eInk readers specifically: https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink
