I'm also using this. I have Mac + iPhone + remarkable, and recently discovered some neat tricks so I can "print to remarkable" from phone or laptop, using native print/AirPrint dialogs. It's pretty cool to treat the remarkable like real paper that you can print to. I use this AppleScript trick + rmapi [0] so I can use the native Mac print dialog to print to remarkable. Basically, anywhere I can print a PDF, I can print to remarkable the same way. I installed Printopia [1] on my mac to host an AirPrint server on my local network, which can share the print extension I created to print to remarkable. So when I'm on my wifi, on my phone, I can use the native "Print" functionality to "print to remarkable" via AirPrint on my laptop. The only thing missing is the ability to get this setup working when my phone is not on WiFi. I've installed Zero

Tier on phone/mac, and connected them to the network so they can ping each other, but I'm having trouble getting mDNS to work properly. The laptop is sending the packets to the ZeroTier interface, but the phone is not receiving them for some reason. Not sure if it's expected, since iPhone Network Extension can only setup the equivalent of TUN interfaces, not TAP (which is needed for L2 AFAIU). [0] https://github.com/juruen/rmapi/blob/master/docs/tutorial-pr... [1] https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/printopia/ -- It's $20 but it works really well. I played around with setting up my own CUPS + Avahi server, but getting it to work in docker was a pain, given the native OSX CUPS server was interfering and some other issues... Printopia just works.
In Ask HN: What's your cross-platform PDF / ePub reading workflow?
I'm a happy user of this tablet. I also created a [Go app](https://github.com/juruen/rmapi) to interact with the cloud API. I mainly use the tablet as a "virtual printer". Using the app I just mentioned above, I print directly to the device from my Mac. Yeah, this just saves me a couple of clicks and one drag and drop :) Here's a [tutorial](https://github.com/juruen/rmapi/blob/master/docs/tutorial-pr...) on how to set it up and an actual [demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOGTYI15VxY&feature=youtu.be). When I was studying, it was also great to use it to solve math problems on it when I was traveling without having to carry too much paper with me.
In The ReMarkable Tablet: A Review
I bought an e-reader called reMarkable [0] that I use every day to read technical stuff on it. At some point, I got tired of the process to sync files: download the document from the browser, open the reMarkable app and drag the file into it. I automated this workflow, and now I can just "print" directly to the device [1] the article/document I'm reading.

In Ask HN: What are the things that you have automated in your personal life?
> Does anyone know whether the software is user friendly? E.g. cloud integration, doesn't require to install shitty software, can email documents, etc... You need to install a Qt desktop app for the cloud integration or its equivalent mobile version. There are however some projects out there already that are working on alternatives for the cloud integration such as this one [0]. [0] https://github.com/juruen/rmapi
