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 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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ironically, Tom Riddle's diary encouraging kids to commit suicide [1] and then showing them how to do it would be more on brand than the version in the books.
Amusingly, I made the same thing late last year, though just on an ordinary computer, allowing you to draw in the browser. I used pageflip [0] with styling akin to Riddle's actual diary and a tiny local model crafted for roleplay via ollama. I remember writing "my name is Harry Potter, what is yours?" and getting back Snape, Malfoy, and even Harry Potter back across a number of iterations. After completing my experiment I learned I wasn't the first to think of this idea and found a few other similar AI Riddle diaries out there.
Incidentally, I have a Remarkable 2 and as of this weekend an m4 iPad air. Maybe I'll test this one out and see what the landscape for running models on iOS looks like.
Ok I'll admit it. At this point, Fable is good enough that I question what the point of me being a software engineer is other than "You're cheaper than Fable... for now.
What a fun project! I don’t think I’ll ever actually get a paper pro and run this application, but I’m happy that it exists and that folks are enjoying using it.

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.
Is this not just... a chat UI?

What's the point that Fable is making here?
