Hey all, wanted to share this little tool I made for my reMarkable tablet I just got.
It’s rather simple, not super involved, and the code is likely rather meh. But it does the job:
I have it running in a VPS somewhere once a day, so I get my RSS feeds to my device every morning this way.
I would like to make it replace the old file on your device, but that requires some reverse-engineering of the reMarkable cloud..
One of my favorite features of my Kobo Libra Colour is its integration with pocket. I wish there were more integrations between these eink devices and read later / rss tools.
My biggest problem with the kobo implementation is the lack of highlight support.
I just want an easy way to push feeds plus read later flagged articles into an eink device like my kobo with highlight functionality that I can then have saved somewhere like obsidian.
Every solution I’ve seen so far implements parts of this but isn’t capable of the full chain. This fulfills part of these requirements in a new tool which is neat!
I got my reMarkable for rather cheap secondhand, so I’m trying to make the most out of it. I’m enjoying the device despite of the lack of some things.. If I get more into these kind of tablets I will have to look for something that can integrate with Nextcloud.
On Onyx Boox we just have a normal Android and normal rss readers. Which all suck
I once tried to do something similar where I would get posts for the day from Miniflux and use an unholy amalgamation of python scripting and pandoc to generate an epub from them. I was going to try and put them behind an OPDS server next but because I was dissatisfied with the outcome of step 1 I didn’t get to it.
