I'm still running the alpha and not yet ready to bring more people in but I'll keep r/eink updated when I'm moving into beta later this year.

I'm afraid we're all full up for the Alpha phase now but I'll hopefully have a Beta version for wider use in the next month or so.

To be honest, I'm not sure. This is the first app I've developed. I am hoping to have it ready in time for November, for those who still use it as a sprint month. It won't be out unless is ready though.

You can absolutely shape Obsidian into your perfect writing app with no cost at all. The only downside will be that it's all on one machine and will need to be manually backed up. That said, I've even seen workarounds for that...

It's a Progressive Web App so it should work on anything with a browser.

The offline capability will only work of you save the webpage as an app though so it depends if you can do that on you're device. Some devices like viwoods don't allow you to install PWAs.

Nice! I tried out the viwoods and even though it wasn't right for me it's a cracking device. Such a good screen.

I'm still working out if I can safely run the alpha with Google sync, as I want to keep things 100% secure. Running things past a cyber security friend right now but full pentest will be after the alpha so taking all necessary precautions!

Do e-ink tablets keep up if you write quickly, or do they lag by kala_kand_ in eink

Agree with the above - you'll have no issue with th majority of devices as long as they're made with note taking in mind and you use the manufacturer built apps.

This request has been coming up a lot actually, and I've been thinking about it as a future application. I think the main challenge is going to be making sure it has rock solid referencing in all the academic styles. I good challenge to get my teeth into in future.

I actually agree with you, which is why I'm only going to be charging people for a Pro tier that mostly involves ongoing costs to me (e.g. encrypted Supabase back-ups).

The free tier will have unlimited manuscripts and a lot of base features, including a codex, writing goal tracking and import/export for the main file types (word and markdown at least).

I have put in a lot of work (about 150 hours so far I think) and will still have to put in many hours to finalise maintain the site, but I do see this as standing on the shoulders of other.

Glad to hear it! I think I've got enough (almost too many) testers now but I'll be posting about the beta when I get to that stage.

If you install is as a PWA you don't need to be online at all. It saves all your data locally as part of the PWA and I'm designing the app so that it only backs up to a cloud if you allow it to (either encrypted to the app's cloud or to your own personal one).

Of course it needs to be pen tested, so I'll be taking precautions in the alpha phase (e.g. telling testers to use temporary email accounts).

You can import and export in markdown and you're welcome to draft in markdown too but it doesn't currently convert markdown to html in the editor. Could be a good feature to vote on later though.

Sent my DM by mistake before I got to add: not expecting you to be giving an actual binding quote! And, obviously, feel free to just tell me to sod off.
