  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • 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

  • rM2-stuff

    Collection of reMarkable related apps, utilities and libraries.

  • 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?

    Searching "by:robinsoh e-ink patent" over the past year turns up numerous comments, mostly variants of "I've explained this before", but none with a link to the specific explanation you have in mind. If you happen to know of a reference, it's a courtesy to others to provide it directly.
