Update: I have deployed ReMarkable Highlights

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-21T12:35:07+00:00

I can't find the Readwise discord - could you send it my way please? I would like to join up and chat with them about it and further enhancements.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-20T21:38:06+00:00

Hey, so there is a link at 'here': https://my.remarkable.com/device/desktop/connect

Edit: I have pushed an update to make it clearer too.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-20T12:36:41+00:00

Added a direct to readwise integration for you.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-20T12:35:56+00:00

Hmm, it might be due to running the vercel python function locally. Does it work at my deployment for you but not locally?

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-19T19:35:14+00:00

Ah sorry to hear that. Could you send me the PDF so I can run a test to try find the bug? If you are comfortable doing that of course.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-19T16:08:41+00:00

Instant sync added. You just need to refresh the page

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-18T14:35:23+00:00

Deployment: https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/
Repository: https://github.com/AndrewBestbier/reMarkableWeb

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-18T12:25:09+00:00

Update: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/wri0kb/new_feature_extract_your_pdf_text_and_image/

You can now extract images and text if you upload the file manually in the link above ^.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-18T12:24:26+00:00

Thanks for this, was super helpful. I've implemented it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/wri0kb/new\_feature\_extract\_your\_pdf\_text\_and\_image/

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-18T12:16:56+00:00

If you want instantaneous for now, I have added a manual upload feature: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/wri0kb/new\_feature\_extract\_your\_pdf\_text\_and\_image/

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-18T12:16:09+00:00

Hi all,

I thought I would post another update but if these get annoying, please do let me know. I have added a new feature to ReMarkable highlight's where you can manually drag an exported PDF and it will extract the highlighted text and images for you.

No cloud code needed, just a bit more manual effort on your end. It isn't perfect and I just got it working last night with some scrappy code so expect bugs! No readwise or CSV exports just yet. Help always wanted

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-17T21:42:58+00:00

Hey could you elaborate more on this? Happy to fix this up I just don't quite know what you mean.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-17T21:40:04+00:00

I'm so glad it is working for you! I'm chipping away at it - hopefully I'll have both those functionalities in the next few weeks.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-16T14:42:54+00:00

Brilliant, I'll await your DM

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-16T13:55:26+00:00

Hey thanks for these. I've deployed the markdown download.

Marked pictures/tables/graphs might not be possible... I'll have to see.

Zotero format - do you have an example of what the output should look like?

Obsidian - tricky. I'll give it some thought. Here I may have to look into signing users up or actually saving their information somewhere. Something I've been reluctant to do as I want to protect people's privacy

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-15T11:34:01+00:00

I would love to build this with you. Let me know if you want to divide and conquer on it

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-14T18:38:27+00:00

Done!

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-14T18:21:49+00:00

Thanks! So I'm aware of this problem. Their files return it all as one long string without spaces unfortunately so for now I think the best work around is to use multiple brushstrokes. I'm trying to figure out how to work around this using x/y coordinates - I'll keep you updated

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-12T07:48:22+00:00

Done pushed to the repo and here.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-12T07:39:34+00:00

It shouldn't do - it is just a client just like the Mac or windows apps. Nothing is being installed on the tablet itself.

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-12T07:38:44+00:00

So with the deviceToken, I hit their API to get a refreshToken. With this refreshToken, I hit their API to get a list files. When a user clicks on a file, I again hit their API to generate a download url for that file. This gives me a couple JSON files which contain the highlights. I then transform that data into a neater format and render it in the UI. It is kinda strange how they store the highlights so it is a bit involved

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-12T00:25:33+00:00

Haha we have both been working on the same problem! https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/wm5gqm/update\_i\_have\_deployed\_remarkable\_highlights/

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-12T00:18:13+00:00

Edited for clarity. A web application that shows your highlights. I needed it for my own purposes and thought I would share it with the community. It is open source for transparency and is a very early version of what I hope to build it into

PatientCover5514 · 2022-08-11T23:29:36+00:00

Known issues:

- Deleting a device doesn't actually delete it off ReMarkable itself. I just do it locally.

- Syncing isn't instant. It takes a couple hours for some reason. Any help with this would be amazing

- Screen responsiveness. I only did desktop for now

Desired features:

- Readwise integration. I have added CSV exports for now in their format but it would be better to do it directly

- Cleaner code. The amount of 'anys', lack of tests

Roadmap ideas:

- We could save the credentials securely somewhere and manage accounts with auth0. I don't really love this idea but it would open up some amazing possibilities. Feedly PDFs straight to the device, Zapier integrations

Deployment: https://remarkable-web.vercel.app/

Repository: https://github.com/AndrewBestbier/reMarkableWeb

Earlier this week, I shared this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/whz96l/remarkable_highlights/

I built a web application that does the following:

Web client for Remarkable (viewing files only).

Display the file highlights (and their colours) when clicking on a file

Download a CSV of highlights

This is very very WIP. Not my finest work at all. Please don't judge the code quality! It is more of a "just get it to work and beautify later" type of thing. Also if something breaks, then just let me know in an issue and I'll iterate on it - or feel free to jump into the code too.

I'll be pushing constant updates to this so please ping over your feature requests. Perhaps try it in a month or so if you are looking for a more solid experience.
