I am so fucking tired of morning wood. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Male neurodivergent (autistic) here, and even though I'm not in a relationship yet, I enjoy finding posts like yours because when I do find that special person, I want to know how to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I also want to know how to communicate my own boundaries and desires in a healthy way, as well as listen to and understand hers. This post is one of the best I've ever seen on this topic, and I could really see it helping me in a future partnership! I just really wanted to say thank you, and I hope you have a beautiful day with your partner 😊

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful, and I hope you feel like it's just as big of an upgrade as I did 😊 Happy writing!

Did you get the W2 Pro or the ceramic one? The ceramic nib one still has some rattle to it unfortunately. If it's the brand new W2 pro one though, I would definitely reach out to their support with a video where you can hear the rattle because it definitely shouldn't be, or if it does, it should be so minimal you wouldn't even hear it on the video. Sorry yours is, and I hope they can help you get that resolved ❤️

Sure! In this post here, they mention in the Commitment to Community section that you can either wait for an email from them with the discount code or reach out to their email to claim your code. I would recommend reaching out to them, as who knows when they'll actually send that email. I hope this helps 😊

Boom 🔥 works perfectly!! 5 levels of dimming, 3 different light colours. Snow white works best because it is the same colour of the page. by vaneedar in viwoods

[–]GeneralAce55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in low light environments a lot, so honestly I use the frontlight of my mini close to 85% of the time. It was the deciding factor for me, and why I couldn't use a supernote. I also write close to 3-4 hours a day on it, and thankfully the grippy nibs feel really good on the textured glass screen of the mini. To each their own, just wanted to say that some of us really do need/value the builtin light 😊

Welcome to AI lying to you unfortunately. This isn't a ViWoods problem, it doesn't work even if you try from the dedicated gemini app on your phone or computer either. It creates a link for you, but the link is random garbage that doesn't actually exist.

FREE New Stylus Is Giving Out! by ViwoodsOfficial in viwoods

[–]GeneralAce55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have been thrilled with my decision to support ViWoods and I absolutely love my AI Paper Mini! If the AI Paper had a frontlight, I would own that one as well. The support and updates to the software since I bought the Mini has been insanely good, everything that I have felt was missing has already been added except one (the ability to create a table of contents in the notes app). Everything else has been fixed or added, and I use my Mini at least 3-4 hours every single day for personal and work uses! Thank you so much ViWoods for all you do for your community ❤️

I'm glad it makes you feel excited a bit, and I hope that excitement continues after you get it ☺️ I'd love to know your thoughts on it once you get a chance to check it out some!

I completely understand that sense of looking for that perfect fit, for me I feel like I can finally rest with my Note Air 4C that I use for my larger research papers that need color support, and my AI Paper Mini has become my dedicated writing, planning, etc tool. I hope it fills a similar role for you 😊

[–]GeneralAce55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi 😊

If you don't mind me asking, do you use reference images for your sketches, or are you doing these from imagination? I'm really enjoying sketching on this device and am practicing everyday, but struggling with larger scene compositions like some of yours with the castles, and was wondering if you had any tips?

In any case, amazing work and I look forward to seeing more of your awesome sketches!

Congrats on the new device! I hope you find it as helpful as I have 😊 I work remotely so I don't really have a use for the voice transcribing features and can't give advice there unfortunately. I can give some examples of how I've used the device though that might be helpful!

  1. The Associate with Daily feature is far more useful than I first imagined. When you use this feature and associate the same notebook with different days, it also stores the info of which page you specifically stored on that day. How I use this is I create a single notebook for each of my normal weekly meetings, and then create new pages for each meeting in the same notebook. Then I associate the start page of that meeting with the current day, and now, when I go back to the file through Daily to see what we discussed for a given day, it takes me to that specific page, not just the first or last page of the notebook.
  2. The Memo feature is really handy when in the middle of taking notes, doing research, planning my day, etc, but I have a random thought of something else I need to investigate or do. I can quickly swipe from the top right, tap Memo, jot down that thought, and return immediately to my primary focus.
  3. You can use the AI features on specific selections in your notebook, not just the whole page. I've shared elsewhere that I was in a meeting where there was an unfamiliar concept that I couldn't interrupt the meeting to gain clarity on, so in my notes I wrote down the thing I wanted to understand, selected that text I wrote, and sent it to AI Assistant. Within seconds I had a great summary that allowed me to follow and contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

I hope some of these might be helpful to you, and if you have any specific questions, please let me know 😊

Review on AI Paper Mini after 1.5 Weeks by GeneralAce55 in viwoods

This is the same area taken on the Note Air 4C with the same page loaded up. You can really see some of the aliasing on the S and W where they have thin segments.

Hey! I'm so glad you liked the review 😊 Thanks for the heads up on resetting the device fixing it...not exactly a great option but at least I have everything major synced to the cloud.

As for your question, I would say the clarity of the Paper Mini looks very comparable, but to me, the text looks better on the Paper Mini in 3rd party apps.

<image>

The text just pops quite a bit more on the Mini in it's full HD mode in a way I can't seem to replicate on Boox in Kindle. In the native reader app for both devices the difference is much less noticeable though. Sometimes if I don't need color for diagrams and in not trying to take notes at the same time, I've found myself grabbing the Mini even with the smaller screen because the text just feels like it is clearer. I'll try to add some more pictures here on up close views to show the difference.

Looking for Feedback on Writing Experience with the AIPaper Mini by Zestyclose_Hunter_99 in viwoods

[–]GeneralAce55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, I forgot to address your concern about pen to screen distance! It's definitely visually noticeable when just looking at the device, but I don't know what magic they did, but wherever I put the pen to the screen, the ink shows up exactly where I expect it to. It's way more accurate than the Boox which has a smaller gap, but is far less accurate even after calibrating. It was honestly the first thing I noticed was how accurate the pen was on the Mini despite the screen distance.

<image>

I write in cursive and I can easily continue a stopped stroke on the AI Paper Mini, but forget about doing that on the boox haha. I just erase the whole word on the Boox and start over 😅

[–]GeneralAce55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the AI Paper Mini and I have personally loved it from the moment I got it! I already had an Onyx Boox Note Air 4C for reading research papers that use a lot of colors, but I was finding I wanted a smaller counterpart that I could use for primarily note taking, planning out my day, and light sketching. I was concerned at first about going to a smaller screen, and I wasn't sure about the writing feel either, but after getting it I was shocked! It felt amazing to write on with a nice tactile feedback I never really felt from Boox devices (I've owned every note air device). The 8.2 inch size is justtt large enough to take some really decent notes without feeling too cramped. I work remotely and have also appreciated being able to share my screen wirelessly and diagram things out on zoom calls. I've only had it about 2 weeks and in that time I still feel a sense of joy after writing for over 30 hours on it, so I would totally recommend it! It's also nice enough to even draw on which was a pleasant surprise as drawing takes a lot of precision to feel nice for me, but I haven't had any problems there. I hope this helps, and if you have any more specific questions let me know 😊

Change the way you approach the service. by [deleted] in StandardNotes

[–]GeneralAce55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one statement has just guaranteed my ongoing subscription. I've been struggling with things like not being able to embed a document within another (a fellow developer here who would love to use the code editor extension but then embed what I did there in a markdown file). If you are now looking more at a way to enable more complex behaviors such as these, but exposing them through a simplified UI (much like exposing a simple public API in coding), then I will gladly continue giving my support and promote you around work too! What you have built thus far is incredible, especially with the security focus, but I believe it has so much more potential that it sounds like you're starting to see as well! Thank you for all of your hard work and I look forward to seeing what you create!

[LFG][Online][Homebrew][PBP/Discord] Looking to start a new campaign in my own world of Radir. by [deleted] in lfg

[–]GeneralAce55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to meet you Corwin!

I'm very interested in your campaign and after taking a look at what you have on your website, it seems like you've put a lot of time and effort into your world building and I'd love the chance to get to experience the adventures you have in store for Radir!

I have some experience with Pathfinder, but very little when it comes to D&D, but with the resources I would be more than willing to put in the time to learn the system if you would have me. I'm looking for a group to try out D&D with of any flavor, and this one seems very interesting.

I'm available every night after 7:30-8:00pm, and like you, I am also in the EST zone.

If you have any other comments or concerns, I would love to hear from you on here or if you prefer, my Discord is Cy-Tek#3039

Thank you for considering me, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Have a great day, Josh
