@lemmy.worldI've Obsidian Sync set up so that my Obsidian vault is synced across all my devices. I don't do much input into my vault on the Page, but mainly use it to view notes I've already written, or to keep my TODO list open while I do other things throughout the day.
Regarding the scrolling, do you reckon it'll be possible to implement it like how the Galaxy Watches do their scrolling?
If you touch the edge of the screen and rotate it, it scrolls clockwise and anti-clockwise. Works decently enough although I do prefer the physical wheel.
Do you have any sources for this? Afaik Samsung phones are still massively popular with young people in Korea.
It's a good question. For now I'm still working through a few books that I had in my backlog that are available on Project Gutenberg.
I've been looking around for a few ebook stores that sell books in epub format, but am struggling to settle on one. I do want to buy and not pirate them as much as possible, but most people seem to point me towards ebook piracy sites whenever I ask.
Please give us another update here once the choc version is done, I'd be super interested in trying it out!
Sorry I might not be understanding this correctly, but does that mean the choc version will have proper choc spacing and be 2mm closer? And a properly located trackpad on top of that?
That is exactly what I've been waiting for. I printed the case for a MX Skeletyl but found the spacing a bit too far, and the choc skeletyl that I printed felt a bit off for some reason.
I've been using a Corne for a while now, and I find it very comfortable and efficient to use.
If you don't mind soldering and assembling your own kits, you could try a Corne kit. Most Corne PCBs seem to have a 6th col you can snap off. So you could try get a kit with one of those, try the 6 col, and if you don't need that extra column, simply snap it off and re-flash the board for a 5col Corne.
Think I mentioned it somewhere here before, but it's usually to keep costs down. eInk devices are relatively less demanding than modern smartphones, and utilize some older chipsets as they don't need the extra power. This also helps keep costs down.
Problem with using holder chipsets is that Android itself only supports a few generations at a time, so they won't be able to get the latest versions of Android, nor the privacy and security features that come with it.
I own two Boox devices, the Note Air 2 Plus, and the Page. The NA2+ is primarily used as a notebook replacement, while the Page has become my go-to reader. I use the Page to read anything from pdf files to even documentation using eInkBro. The whole experience is very good, and while I wouldn't trust either of them to handle anything actually related to my work due to privacy reasons, they've become a valuable part of my working process.
I haven't tried connecting a keyboard to either device and typing like that, so I can't say much about that experience. But I do agree that with greyscale and a bit of fine tuning, you should be able to get nice syntax highlighting as well.
As someone with full Android in both their reader and note-taking device, can I ask why you might be hesitant?
