This is one of those ideas that would really benefit from a short video demo, gif, or even a screenshot directly in the README. Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. [0]
I remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol.
Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting?
Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!

This is also why capitalization is important. In the title, "remarkable" refers to "Remarkable Paper Pro", a tablet. Not knowing that "Fable turned remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary" is very hard to parse.
A Remarkable tablet was the first thing I thought of, but it was still so unclear I had to click through to actually understand (more or less) what was going on.
I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)
It’s not accurate, it’s absurd hyperbole no different from the kind the people who peddle it have arrogantly ridiculed their entire lives.
A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.

> stylelint beeps you can't just pass hex colors directly, that color is not in our design system, you need to write a design doc for custom color tokens and get approval from the frontend platform team, open a PR in their repo, make sure you have storybook tests covering all the color <cross product> button variants, ask in their slack channel for approve, ask their manager, wait. someone from their team leaves a comment: "we should make this an approved custom colors enum not a string, so if you want to add custom colors you also have to update this enum", fix the PR, staff engineer from sister team drive by request for changes: "we are currently implementing custom themes and changing colors will be done through the ColorSwatch service", ask for timelines, "maybe next week behind a feature flag", give up, close the PR, open a new PR with "stylelint-disable", force-merge it.
I remember it taking long enough (they had to wait for another project to need a lot of that color) that we wound up using dope to mock it up. (Regular paint didn't hold and just chipped off.)
Very cool. I don't have a remarkable, but have the Amazon Kindle Scribe. Same idea. Would any of you be so kind to waste your precious Fable tokens on getting something like this working there? I have other plans for my remaining Fable tokens.
Incidentally, have any of the major AI provider's solved this problem for voice chats yet? It feels like even something like a simple keyword like “stop” would make having a conversation with an LLM a much better experience than a chat interface on a phone.
This is soooo incredibly cool. Beyond the Tom Riddle diary aspect, I love the idea of this as a new medium for interacting with an LLM. You could gift it to someone and they could just write naturally, their thoughts, questions, notes, and get responses back without typing or speaking. It feels less like a chatbot and more like a journal you can communicate through. You could give it a personality and all.
I mean no offense, but it's kind of crazy that people think that linking handwriting recognition, a technology that was first rolled out 24 years ago in Windows XP, with an LLM is "soooo incredibly cool". I don't get it.
This is strong “criticism of the man in the arena” energy on my part, but I’m kind of disappointed the text just wipes across, rather than the ink sort of “emerging” from the page like in the movie, with the heavier parts of the font appearing first and the thinner lines appearing last.
> No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI. Just ink appearing on paper.
No soul. No care. No consideration. Just slop appearing as text. Shut the *fuck* up BOT. How in the hell is this not the most appalling, offensive smell by now? All this says to me is someone proompted some garbage into barely working, didn't even bother to look at what the stupid token machine generated for a readme. How unfathomably embarassing.
I cannot take any project seriously no matter how silly it presents itself as if this sort of obvious slop CRAP makes it into what is presented. Good fucking god give the slightest hint of a fuck if you want me to care at all about what you're throwing into the aether. Rub a few brain cells together, please.
I don’t think it’s about this single random person, but the larger trend it represents. It’s everywhere now, and it shows a general lack of care and craft.
For those of us that hate Harry Potter, this apparently takes your written prompt and responds on the Remarkable. I think you'd have to be a fan of the series to care as otherwise this is just a really slow chat interface.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.

It's worked pretty well for Palantir?
I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now.
There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.
We are not in the slow times anymore.
lolwat
sarcasm surely

Is this not just... a chat UI?
Doesn’t stop it from being really cool though.
