Really interesting project! A few questions:

1. How do you send the document to the Remarkable? My understanding is that Remarkable does not provide any public APIs. Do you use one of the unofficial open-source APIs? 2. Are you using pstmrk.it for tracking purposes? Maybe you can be more explicit about this in the Privacy Policy.

Additionally, the magic link email is landing in my spam inbox. I assume that this might be because you are using an icloud domain.

This is really great idea, but as a Supernote user instead of ReMarkable, I just wish the output could be something different instead of tight ReMarkable integration.

I had an RM2 it was great, love that writing texture feel and how you can program it yourself too that's nice. I never subscribed with mine or even connected it to WiFi. I'm still unsure if I will get one again as I think I would just use something like a Surface Book.

My reasoning is financial mostly in the past when I was better off (like I am now) I bought so much crap like multiple G lenses (thousands $). Now I'm about avoiding being broke so just 1 type of similar device vs. multiple. I also had an iPad Pro which arguably their hardware is the best eg. built in lidar but I don't like the iOS ecosystem in an iPad so I got rid of that too.

This is really cool! I unfortunately don't have a reMarkable but I run a similar "free personalized email digest" service https://www.getchangelog.com mainly for people following changes to tools / services / Github repos & other RSS feeds.

Wonder if you'd be willing to add email support? Anyways, great work, and I love the design. It really matches the design ethos of reMarkable.

The bottom image on the page got me believing there was something wrong with me :-)

What a great idea! When testing this out, the text from the articles is somewhat opaque, which makes it difficult to read. The images and headers seem look fine though.

Man... I'm not kidding. This morning I thought "I should build a news aggregator for my reMarkable". Thanks for saving me the work

Does Calibre not work with reMarkable? It has a feature that simulates a newspaper. You create a recipe for a website (e.g. NY Times), and have it run once a day. Based on how you created the recipe, it will pick all the articles in the last day and package it into an ePub (with TOC).

I used it a lot over a decade ago. The feature is still there.

This looks incredible, thank you for creating it! I have been looking for something exactly like this for a while now

I was planning on building this but never got around to it. After getting this set up its perfectly fine for my needs. Is there a way we can pay for it or at least tip you? I know the servers aren't crazy expensive but I'd love to support the work and hope it sticks around a while!

How does this make money? I'm just curious? Data aggregate sales?

I am RM2 user and this is useful for me. I signed up not expecting much but that digest designer is so well done! Kudos. Beautifully executed. Signed up and looking forward to the digests.

I hoped to find something different: a digest of my recent notes. Would be cool as well
