I would kill for some sort of integration between Remarkable and Obsidian. Both are excellent tools and the Remarkable is great for sketching on the go. I just wish I could keep both in sync somehow.

I'm working on a sync tool specifically for ReMarkable to Obsidian.

https://scrybble.ink

It's still in beta for now, so it's definitely not flawless, but it does work! You can choose which files from your tree to sync, they will appear as pdf files in your vault.

The page isn't loading for me but I'll take a look later on as this could be super interesting!

Fixed, I keep forgetting I got a novelty tld (.ink) rather than .com :p

Hey, I just paid for a subscription but I'm getting a 500 on the manage membership page - any idea what's up with that?

Oh... I forgot to adjust that page with the recent full redesign. Will fix it this evening.

The page is not important for anything however, it just says "thanks for your purchase, you can now make an account"

Page is fixed!

Cool project! Note that if you want to support the Remarkable scribbles, there's a Python project that does that:

https://github.com/rschroll/rmrl

It's called scrybble because it already supports scribbles and highlights :p

The roadmap says it doesn't support notebooks or quick sheets though. Those are kind of the main feature of the remarkable.

EDIT: Roadmap updated, so we're on the same page :)

I'm not 100% certain about quick sheets just yet, I'm going to do a more thorough test soon, but notebooks _are_ supported as of last week, the Roadmap hadn't been updated yet.

Good catch though! Thanks

Edit: The roadmap has been updated: https://scrybble.ink/roadmap

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you! Very excited to use this.

Just purchased the "Early bird tier" to give it a try. I just get a "500 Server Error" when clicking the "View Content" link in gumroad.

Just fixed the error, I was loading an old page

When this gets to reasonable stability, this may be enough to get me to buy ReMarkable just for it. It might be worth seeing if they have any sort of referral program. "Buy ReMarkable through me & get X months syncing free!" type deal.

A dream would be first-party integration. Syncing from one to the other is one thing, but a first-party obsidian application running on the ReMarkable? I'd let ReMarkable hire me to make this happen if this is something they'd be interested in

(I love my current job though!)

That's one of the reasons i went with an Onyx Boox tablet instead of a Remarkable - that way i have the Android Obsidian app, in sync, and i can sketch on it (with Excalidraw, i haven't tested Canvas yet).

Onyx + obsidian is such a great combo

It appears to be convoluted but Remarkable -> Rextract -> Readwise -> Obsidian looks like a path.

Supernote is the superior device compared to Remarkable
