Steve Troughton-SmithMy finger has been hovering over the buy button on the reMarkable Paper Pro page all day đ«
Nothing quite matches the kind of digital paper device I yearn for, but it gets pretty darn close. I wish I could build my ownâŠ
Marco Arment@stroughtonsmith You wonât regret it.
The reMarkable UI and sync (to iOS and Mac!) is miles ahead of everything else in the e-note space.
Itâs the idealized âApple-likeâ experience. And nobody else is remotely close.
They also have, by a mile, the best cases and pen-attachment mechanics, which makes a huge difference in everyday convenience and niceness.
@marcoarment what I've always wanted: 'Adobe Ideas', but as digital paper. We're not fully there yet, but it's very clear reMarkable is made by the kinds of people who care about what I care about, where most others absolutely are not.
I wish Apple did one, with iBooks and Freeform supportâŠ
@stroughtonsmith The only downside about falling into the rM cult is that, like Apple, they move very slowly on certain things and leave huge features and markets completely unaddressed.
So every rM user has a few requests that we feel like weâre waiting an ETERNITY for, and they may never come.
But itâs so much better than the competitors in general that we accept that tradeoff.
@marcoarment what kinds of things do you do on epaper, and is there an Under the Radar episode about it? đ Is it to do with app dev, or is it more for restaurant / real life?
@stroughtonsmith I did an ATP segment on it a few months back when I made this https://youtu.be/sAFaMwulbIw
My usage has expanded since then, and it's a moving target. I've since gotten both the Pro and the Pro Move (the setup is kinda in flux).
I like to take notes during in-person meetings, therapy, and phone calls. And I like it for certain kinds of personal notes, like goals/accomplishments.
I still use it whiteboard-style like that video, but shorter timescale, like âthese five things todayâ.
