The Paper Pro looks gorgeous, but its specific use case and the closed nature of the platform (despite it being a linux OS) makes it less appealing.
It would be nice to have a paper tablet that is, indeed, focused on what it does best, but also seemlessly interoperates with linux laptops and desktops. Users having to juggle multiple closed platforms adds to the cognitive burden.
- codemac 2y agoYou should check out Supernote. While still a bit closed, it's interop is far superior to Remarkable.
- freedomben 2y ago> the closed nature of the platform (despite it being a linux OS) makes it less appealing. Seriously, I really hope some management and/or devs from Remarkable are seeing this. I want to shout it from the roof tops. I bought a Remarkable 2, and I would definitely be buying a Paper Pro, if it were a little more open. I'm appreciative that the device itself isn't locked down (that was enough to sell me a RM2!), but for the kind of money Paper Pro costs I need more out of it. If it was a very open system (like in my wildest dream, all software for it would be fully open source) I would take the plunge. As it stands, I'm leaning more toward the Daylight as it seems more hackable to me. I don't need much, not even a big ecosystem, just the ability to hack on it and/or install homebrew stuff from others. The ability to automate and/or easily run scripts on it would be killer. Please Remarkable, embrace the spirit of openness that I know burns within you. It's a little hidden by conflicting business needs, but I know it's still there! Let those feelings be free, and create the masterpiece that you and I both really want.
