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, drawing(on the remarkable itself and as a digital input device for my pc), notetaking and I'm sometimes even surfing the web and playing chess or tetris with it. It's such a nice tool and i couldnt live without it anymore.
@magmasealion wait, how are you surfing the web or playing Tetris? It doesn’t have a browser, does it?
@Coocho The remarkable is an Linux tablet. Therefore you can extend the functionality of your remarkable and customize it with "hacks" because of the open source nature of it.
As you have already noticed, there is actually no browser, no really good ebook reader and no way to play tetris in the unmodified shipping state, but you can easily install them yourself! In this github repo you can see some of the extended and usefull features you can install yourself: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable
@magmasealion ill definitely give it a try, thanks for the tip!
@Coocho you should also look into https://toltec-dev.org/ its a packet manager for the remarkable so you can easily install the additional apps. If you need any help or you have a question just message me directly
@magmasealion thank you so much! A whole new side to remarkable
