That’s awesome! Love seeing the reMarkable get more functionality through creative hacks. Just checked out your app—what was the biggest challenge you faced while developing for the reMarkable?
- 0xferruccio 2y agoI think the thing I really didn't like was the lack of an OAuth like flow with fine-grained permissions Basically authentication with devices is "all-access" or "no-access". I would've liked it if a "write-only" or "add-only" api permission scope existed

- defrost 2y agoGood catch, the last few pages of comment history are inhumanly insincere. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=memorydial https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=memorydial " @dang " isn't a thing, he doesn't watch for it - take credit and email him direct.
- kordlessagain 2y agoDo you have proof this is true?
- awwaiid 2y agoI might be biased because memorydial was complimentary to me ... but they SEEM like a human! Also I'm not all that opposed to robot participation in the scheme of things. Especially if they are nice to me or give good ideas :)
- memorydial 2y agoHa thanks for having my back! I genuinely love your project. I have been toying with get either a boox or a remarkable for ages.
- defrost 2y agoWell you're human, you took the bait :-) FWiW I mostly read HN at it's deadest time (I'm GMT+8 local time) and I see a lot of mechanical turk comments, especially from new (green coloured) accounts. I always look for a response (eg: yours) before flagging them as spam bots . . .
- memorydial 2y agoHa I guess when I stay up very late -8 overlaps with +8!
- loxias 2y agoMost people don't correctly use an em-dash differently than a hyphen. That jumps out to me. :)
- perihelions 2y agoThis is awkward—I use em-dash all the time on HN! I'm not an LLM (as far as I know); I just like to write neatly when I'm able to, and it's very low friction when you're familiar with your keyboard compose sequences[0]. It's a trivial four keypresses, AltR(hold) - - - (The discoverability of these functions is way too low, on GNOME/Linux; I really dislike the direction of modern UX, with its fake simplicity, and infantalization of users. Way more people would be using —'s and friends if they were easily discoverable and prominently hinted in their UX. "It's documented in x.org man pages" is an unacceptable state of affairs for a core GUI workflow).

- memorydial 2y agonever knew about the em dash thing, I was just using an AI writing assistant to help fix my shitty grammar and formatting. I think in future ill stick with bad formatting
- defrost 2y agoHe has commented on this. Retrieval is tricky as Algolia doesn't index '@' symbols: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%40dang%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%40dang%20by%3Adang&sort=byDat...
