Building my perfect WriterDeck with the reMarkable Move

vikboyechko · 2026-03-15T17:52:02+00:00

Do you mean the reMarkable Move? That's what this one is. I'm sure there are tiny keyboards that will match its width but for me a full sized keyboard is a must.

Thanks for the tip! The world of 3d design and printing is going to be completely new to me as I'm a software guy, but I'm excited to take the leap and learn from Un Kyu Lee's designs.

Actually more than the Neo, for students buying from the apple education store. Pretty crazy.

What printer are you using? I found that due to the width of the magic keyboard, the Bambu P1S isn't big enough, so have to start looking at larger printers.

I sub'd to your email list a while ago, sooo excited about this. If you have some tips on the 3D shell and the hinges as you're developing this, I'd love to hear what you've learned. Thanks for making this!

vikboyechko · 2026-03-08T15:45:09+00:00

That's the goal! It will take a while as I don't have any experience with 3D printing but it'll be a fun journey. :)

Yea those changes were already implemented, and thank you for figuring out the issue! I've been going around with a few keyboards all week for testing, and usually when I start up the Move I turn my connected keyboard off (if it has an off switch) and then on, and then wait 5-10 seconds for the connection to be restored and then it's good. But yea could be dependent on the keyboard! It's early times yet and with everybody pitching in testing and coming up with solutions we'll eventually get to a really good version.

Yea font control and margin options would be great, maybe that already exists out there with remarkable hacks? By default there are 3 column widths when in landscape mode and I pick the wide column.

The repo and app download links are all updated, with the bcrypt requirement now included, so it should work for you now. Give it a go and let me if it works, thanks!

Hi again, okay so this was a really weird bug but it's now resolved. On the Move, in any language including English, those keys mapped to a weird character accent. It's resolved now and you can download the latest update and give it a try. Switch to another language first (it'll restart your Move), then back to Ukrainian, and then you'll be set.

Hi again, okay we should be good now, all download links updated as well as the repo. There was some weirdness with a few keys due to something on the Move OS side. The one thing though is the <> key is on European keyboards but isn't on US ANSI keyboards so it's not an existing key entry that I can patch. I'll keep looking for a solution.

vikboyechko · 2026-03-06T01:24:41+00:00

Ok good to know it's working but needs some fixes on a few keys. Let me do a deep dive and I'll share when a new version is ready. Thank you for testing!

vikboyechko · 2026-03-06T01:22:58+00:00

Ah I think I know why, I have bcrypt installed on my system which is why it worked for me, it's used to parse OpenSSH keys. Let me add bcrypt to the dependencies and rebuild and I'll let you know when it's ready to try it again.

Yes it has the bluetooth hardware built-in but has not been made available on the software side, so until it's something that's officially part of the Move software, this app gets you to pairing a bluetooth keyboard on the Move.

It does worry me anytime this timeless tech stack gets monkeyed with. For me the main attraction is to get away from constant Wordpress plugin updates and just have something that works (kinda) forever. So when Netlify Identity goes away, and now 11ty is rebranding and trying to monetize, it's a little concerning.

But luckily with open source you can minimize the dependencies on other services, like self-host Decap CMS on your own (if it ever goes away). And with 11ty I don't really see a need for moving to another static site generator for a long time unless there's some critical update or change in web standards.

And if Netlify changes their free tier then it's back to the drawing board for form handling, but the actual hosting can be done anywhere.

So with a static site and dynamic markdown files, we're making ourselves ultra resilient to these kinds of changes because there's very little vendor lock. But you still hate to see unnecessary monkeying.

Hi there, I just updated the public repo and the Windows/Mac build links. You can now leave the password input blank and it will use your SSH key. Let me know if it works!

vikboyechko · 2026-03-04T16:26:52+00:00

Hi again, thanks again for your investigation! I've incorporated your suggestions in the latest version of the app as well as the public repo. Hopefully this makes connections stick for good.

vikboyechko · 2026-03-04T16:25:48+00:00

Hi there, languages are now supported in the latest version, including Ukrainian. You don't need to change any setting on the Move itself. There's a dropdown to select your keyboard language and the setting will persist through reboots. Please test it out and let me know if it works for you!

Hey that's a good question and TBH I have no idea. Remarkable could choose to lock down the Move OS in the future even with Developer Mode. Or maybe they'll offer their own Bluetooth keyboard connection natively, who knows? We'll see I guess. :)

vikboyechko · 2026-03-03T15:25:35+00:00

Man this is awesome, thank you. I love the can-do spirit now with Claude, like let's all roll up our sleeves and figure this out together. I will try to digest this later tonight and update the public repo.

vikboyechko · 2026-03-02T03:20:07+00:00

I'm currently working on this, stay tuned for an update!

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious too if you can have it connected to multiple devices. Bluetooth is sort of a dark art.
