• Very cool. I don't have a remarkable, but have the Amazon Kindle Scribe. Same idea. Would any of you be so kind to waste your precious Fable tokens on getting something like this working there? I have other plans for my remaining Fable tokens.

• Ok I'll admit it. At this point, Fable is good enough that I question what the point of me being a software engineer is other than "You're cheaper than Fable... for now.

• Awesome project! Lots of negativity in the comments but I think this is an awesome way to interact with an LLM.

  A lot of people seem to be hating on that it was an evil diary in the novel but that doesn't mean there can't be a good version of it!

• Ginevra was my favourite and the most beautiful character in the HP films. Poor Ginny. Relieved that she survived all that. One tough cookie.

• The idea is cool, and it'd be a lot cooler without the terf book getting mentioned

• Holy shit this looks tacky. Response speed is WAY too fast for the effect of feeling like something is writing on the other side. Text is very much written in the style of an LLM.

  > an answer writes itself back in a flowing hand, stroke by stroke, then fades away.

  Characters aren't "flowing" at all, it's very much just printing text. Like, I could change my terminal font to a fancy font and get very much the same visual experience.

  Also, how are we not over Harry Potter yet? There's a MILLION examples of this phenomena in fiction. Heck, even the Bible has an example of text mysteriously appearing (it's where we get the idiom "The Writing's on the Wall".)

• Vonaut makes speeder bikes, and there's a YouTuber that's made a lightsaber. Gonna cost you a lot of money though.

• How does it fade out smoothly? There is also this which shows smooth filling in. I haven't seen smoothness like this on a remarkable

• This sidesteps xochitl and the normal remarkable display adapter. You should assume this thing can't render anything a remarkable normally renders, but does smooth fades instead.

• Rowling is a bigot and it's unethical to promote her works, even indirectly.

  She uses her wealth and fame, legitimized by continued engagement and spending with the Harry Potter IP, to attack, demonize, and spread hatred about entire groups of LGBT+ people.

  This isn't a branded product, and I know no money directly ends up in a bigot's pocket because of this, but every time her works are referenced it endorses her hatred.

• Nice. I did the same thing with Qwen3.5 27b and my Supernote Nomad

• For those of us that hate Harry Potter, this apparently takes your written prompt and responds on the Remarkable. I think you'd have to be a fan of the series to care as otherwise this is just a really slow chat interface.
