Second Screen
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoI wish I had the cycles to better integrate with my Remarkable 2 tablet. Or to go in harder on the Kobo that I love, but I'd need to try & embrace the new Elipsa which has input. Longer run, I want these devices to be part of a ubiquotous & pervasive computing! Yes there are independent apps that access the same cloud data-stores. And while there's sync, my active context doesn't sync: I need to go re-navigate to whatever is open on the other device, if I want to change screens. The idea of a second screen to me also ideally includes just drag and dropping stuff over there. I've dabbled a couple times with the idea of getting a dedicated drawing tablet. Wacom Cintiq 16 is onsale for 33% off for bfcm. ;) I also have and love my x86 tablets, and could certainly use them as good second displays. I think the battery life is probably good enough. It charges at a good enough ratio I hope (1 hour to 85%?). Wireless charging could help the general situation for folks. The hard part though is software. The app dev challenges are already huge. I should probably try running Excalidraw & using the pen with it: that might get me very far along! But underneath the app-dev challenges, I just feel like we're missing so many cornerstones of computing that I'd want to have in place before approaching this second screen challenge well. I really want to be in the fray of this ubicomp world, first, before worrying about the apps.
