- SiempreViernes 7y agoVia yandex I found this repost: https://devsday.ru/news/details/75390 https://devsday.ru/news/details/75390 Dunno if the privacy is any better, but you can at least view it with adblockers on.
- disqard 7y agoThank you! This is why I read HN comments before (or instead of) the article.
- jbarberu 7y agoPerfectly readable with Javascript disabled (or NoScript in my case)
- eurg 7y agoit redirects via a domain on common blocklists
- jastingo 7y agoI know I'm being too literal, but I got a chuckle when I read: > reMarkable’s virtually instant response and texturized surface make for an unprecedented writing experience. There is indeed a precedent for having literally instant response with a texturized surface: pencil and paper.
- jshevek 7y agoI took it as having an implied "...on an electronic device."
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoI looked in to the remarkable a few months ago and I couldn't find any way the price justified the benefit over pen and paper. Unless you are reading lots of pdfs, it seems like a waste. At the new price point it might be decent though.

- akavel 7y agoFrom the video, it looks to me like they're pressing the stylus fairly hard on the tablet, I wonder what's up with that. Also, I wish they were able to use an e-paper with a faster refresh rate, like ClearInk claims to be (see e.g. https://youtu.be/kE_byDwLjxk?t=34 https://youtu.be/kE_byDwLjxk?t=34). That said, it seems to look quite attractive as is already.
- jshevek 7y agoI have used the original, you can choose pen modes with varying degrees of pressure sensitivity. This allows you to take notes easily with whatever level of pressure you want, but also switch to a different pen if you want to draw a textured picture. The lightest of touches are registered by device. I suppose if you choose the wrong pen mode for the immediate task you might have to push hard?
- Enginerrrd 7y agoI do pointed pen calligraphy and various penamanship styles and I can tell you that the remarkable tablet requires VERY, VERY little pressure to register a stroke. It takes almost no modification for me to get the fine delicate linework required for Spencerian for example.
- akavel 7y agoThanks for the report, that's a relief then!
- prostheticvamp 7y agoI love all the comments like this. It sounds great. But they all reference such tactile experiences that I’m left thinking, “huh, I might buy this, IF I could try it out.” Where does one do that?
