Reminds me of this digital typewriter project using a e-ink display: https://alternativebit.fr/posts/ultimate-writer https://alternativebit.fr/posts/ultimate-writer The problem with this project was the lack of a affordable e-ink display with a decent refresh rate. Would love to see a real terminal on the ReMarkable. A terminal + vim + usb keyboard would be the perfect distaction-free writing tool.

I would buy the RM2 in a heartbeat if it supported a keyboard over usb or Bluetooth. Having an outdoor-friendly typewriter where text is saved seamlessly would be awesome for focused writing. I did my best to make it easy on a phone+keyboard+kindle (with SolarWriter https://msolomon.github.io/solarwriter-website/ https://msolomon.github.io/solarwriter-website/ ), but the Remarkable is so so close to the ideal experience—it just needs keyboard support.

  Same! There's https://github.com/dps/remarkable-keywriter https://github.com/dps/remarkable-keywriter but its author is, ah, busy, so may need another person to adapt it to work with bluetooth and the rM2 (if possible)
