I like the concept too. People are losing the ability to read handwritten letters and notes. I'm just curious, how does this all work? Can I simply take a photo of a page?
I was very disappointed, when that happened, that the paper aspect of it was purely at authoring time; that it was converted into text. This one gets it right, preserving the handwriting aspect.
As a writer, a lot of times I am writing over 5,000 words in a single article. I can type at around 170 wpm but my wrist starts hurting the moment I write more than three pages in my journal. I also use a split ergonomic keyboard which helps my hands a lot. I also revise my writing heavily which is very hard to do with handwritten stuff.
For readers, it will maybe be a novelty but I don't really see why anyone will prefer reading content that is handwritten since it has a lot of accessibility problems which are solved with proper typesetting.
I could see the value if it was a collection of interesting notes or unique handwriting styles etc. But i don't think its usuable as a blogging platform imo
Fantastic idea! I think the hardest part for people to adopt this will be overcoming atrophied handwriting skills and no autocorrect.
One thing that doesn't seem clear to me from reading without signing up is how do you actually upload content? Do you have to have paper and pen and then take a picture of it, or do you provide some kind of excalidraw-like canvas for writing? I notice there isn't any paper background or line rules, which I think would also be nice for those who fancy a bit of structure when reading/writing.
Also, as a sign of our times, it hyperlinks to what might have been a Microsoft tech page/knowledge base in the past, now completely replaced by poor taste LLM advertising slop. Good work, Microsoft.
this seems to be great for like a single page exhibition or something, but reading long form content from something like this, personally I feel this to be not so intuitive
This is really lovely! I saw a couple weeks back where someone made a custom app on their remarkable with an LLM responding to handwritten text
Makes me think that I should get my remarkable modded as well to post things I write to my website directly, incorporating some ideas from this. Thank you for sharing!
I love the idea from a personal note collection perspective, however as a blog I feel that it can be taxing to be able to read so many different handwriting styles
I've been thinking about getting a Remarkable... Really tough to choose between the Pro, the Pro Move, and the Pure.
I would quite like colour (for doodling), and the price point of the Move is slightly better, but I'm worried about the (small) size of it. Ideally I'd want something with colour support at an A5 paper size level. Wondering if anyone can speak to their experiences with any of them?

Such that copy pasting its contents reconstructs the blog byte for byte
