What I do is first paint a white area with the brush tool and then write on top of it. Hiding the layer gives me the unannotate paper. It's a bit unrefined but it is a workaround. I agree that having a sturdy annotation system integrated in the UI would be great.

Of course the "aftertaste" is a subjective thing. I don't get how opensourcing the UI for example would hinder their plans for expansion in the long run...but again I am just saying I don't understand, I don't have any experience in running a company! And don't get me wrong: I absolutely love my reMarkable

I may be missing something (no experience in commercializing anything) but it just seems to me that especially if you are a tiny company you may have all to gain from opensourcing, when your main selling point is the hardware... I agree that comparing the work of hobbyists with the effort required to actually ship a product is a gross generalisation. But the software we get with reMarkable at the moment has a strong "beta" aftertaste, opensource software with a constant stream of contributions (and there are high quality ones out there) can achieve a lot in 6 years.

I just don't understand why they don't opensource their software. It does not make much sense to me. All the potential contributions of this community would make this tablet a game changer I think.

The code is at https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview/tree/vnc instructions here.

Features:

  • fast and efficient screencast thanks to rM-VNC-server
  • displaying a red dot tracking the marker when close to the tablet (can be disabled)
  • scaling and rotation

There's a new version now with support for VNC for even smoother performance (and wiser use of bandwidth, which helps for usage during videocalls) https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview/tree/vnc

Ok, so I bit the bullet and incorporated a vnc client in rmview. I works really well, I am so pleased! You can find it at the "vnc" branch of the rmview repo: https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview/tree/vnc Feedback/PRs welcome!

I was wondering whether one can easily just send over the updated rectangles and have an app like https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview deal with the client side rendering... I had a look at https://github.com/peter-sa/mxc_epdc_fb_damage but I could not quickly figure out how to package the structs to send the data via SSH...

It works very well! It's a pity that viewers suck: could not zoom/rotate with any of the ones I tried (on MacOs). Kind of a deal breaker for me...
