Thanks. It is the Remarkable Tablet but the API is entirely undocumented. Took a fair bit of analysis to get it to this state but now it is actually ready for people to build their own applications upon it.

This is cool, you should post it as a “Shown HN”. And don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t immediately garner attention. Post it again later if you only get an insignificant amount of upvotes. Your project is front page worthy and if it doesn’t get there the first time then it’s just bad timing / bad luck (or poorly worded title, that’s a possibility as well of course).

Post it until it gets to the front page, waiting a couple of days or more between each time you post it.

Thanks, I am very glad to hear that. I will be posting it with a more detailed write-up soon, detailing the reversing process as well. That should make it an even more interesting read.

I agree, this is super cool and deserves attention.

Thank you very much! I will check out both very soon. I'm interested in a lightweight portable ssh terminal eink device and this combination might just work for me

Oh yes I've been looking for the same thing. Would like something I could connect a keyboard to and attach a tmux session.

Would be a great work machine outside during summer time.

This is super nice, would love to have a tablet like this in the future. Have been experimenting a little bit with my Kobo Glo HD which also got a browser but nowhere close to this.
