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.
I use rmapi-js (https://github.com/erikbrinkman/rmapi-js) to authenticate, which allows you to get a token you can use to send digests to the device
I use postmark because it's supposed to get emails in your inbox and because I already had an account on it. I'll see what I can do to not make it go in spam :P
Most of the complexity in the product is in:
- Scraping RSS feeds (have to use proxies to extract html and mirror all the images so that I can embed them in the digest)
- Generate PDFs of exactly the right format using Puppeteer (using cloudflare workers for this)
Super interesting! I can assume that it is quite complex to scrape all of the RSS feeds and build the PDF. I will make sure to play with it.
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.
Thanks! Yeah I just made this for myself and figured I could allow others to make their digest too.
How would it work to send things to the Supernote? Is it enough to just send an email with the PDF?
I also have a supernote and yeah I think that could work. You can add email accounts to a supernote and read PDFs
This looks incredible, thank you for creating it! I have been looking for something exactly like this for a while now
