Giving my #reMarkable another go. Much as I wanted to love this device, it just doesn’t seem to fit my workflow. But I don’t want to give up so easily, maybe ill warm up to it…
Any reMarkable aficionados here? How do you use it? #eInk #eInkTablet
@Coocho
I use it for reading academic papers and taking notes on them. This also works for editing my own papers. I also use it to take notes in meetings, journal, and/or plan my day, but those are secondary uses often supplanted by entries in Joplin
@_dmh I find that I just never go back to those notes if I can’t easily spread them over my desk and rearrange them… So it’s still active reading, which is better than nothing, but the result is not reusable
@Coocho I wonder if the updated apps for Desktop or Web will make this more useful for you. Do you mean needing to be able to re-order pages of notes, a la tearing pages out of your notebooks and spreading them around the desk? Trying to understand the use case in case I can recommend software that could be useful
@_dmh no, I mean, it turned out that I like to organize my notes spatially, so short of buying 10 remarkables, there’s not much that can be done :)
In terms of problems with the tool itself and not with my failure to identify own needs, contrast seems to be pretty bad.
But ultimately, it does exactly what it promised and does it well. The issue is that for me personally, usefulness of notes on one smallish screen is limited
@Coocho If you have a big enough monitor, maybe you can re-arrange the pages of PDFs of your notes to suit the need? https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger
Yeah, that's a hard problem. Copy and paste within rM just doesn't give you the same scale as postits all over a desk or scribbles on a whiteboard :/
@Coocho (Sorry, I realise my last message kind of doubled down on unnecessary advice 
)
@_dmh no worries :) I really don’t want to give up on rm, so any advice is welcome
