For MacOS users of Hammerspoon, I made a similar plugin based on devoting the screen into successively smaller 3x3 grids: https://github.com/msolomon/griddle

It’s free and fully customizable too.


If anyone is looking for a much cheaper alternative to this very impressive device for the sole purpose of typing or writing in daylight, I made a mobile app you can use in conjunction with a Kindle or other e-reader: https://solarwriter.msol.io


An audio adventure game on mobile: https://roadtripadventures.msol.io

A humorous book of quotes with profanity added: https://whatacools.com/serenity/

An app to use your e-reader as a typewriter: https://solarwriter.msol.io/ (actually, this one is free)


This is awesome! I made a similar app that works with a kindle and your mobile device: https://msolomon.github.io/solarwriter-website


Oh yes, I also had a couple of such design - used an app or a server, ssh connection or simple websockets. But for this one I really wanted it to work standalone !


Cool!

Some observations:

The link to the developer homepage in the iOS app store points to msol.io (which appears to be broken/recently registered).

The app is lacking a privacy policy.


For MacOS folks, I made a hammerspoon plugin which works similarly: https://github.com/msolomon/griddle


I would buy the RM2 in a heartbeat if it supported a keyboard over usb or Bluetooth.

Having an outdoor-friendly typewriter where text is saved seamlessly would be awesome for focused writing. I did my best to make it easy on a phone+keyboard+kindle (with SolarWriter https://msolomon.github.io/solarwriter-website/ ), but the Remarkable is so so close to the ideal experience—it just needs keyboard support.


Same! There's https://github.com/dps/remarkable-keywriter but its author is, ah, busy, so may need another person to adapt it to work with bluetooth and the rM2 (if possible)


If this piqued your interest in playing one, I wrote a modern audio-based CYOA and accompanying app to play it: https://playroadtripadventures.com

It’s great for playing with others while you travel!


I recently released an audio-based choose-your-own-adventure inspired game for playing in the car called Road Trip Adventures. If 7th Continent appeals to you then you should check it out!

fun game! i love the audio aspect. how hard would it be to use volume buttons to rotate through and select actions? so no reading required?


I made a simple Chrome extension to automatically save local copies of pages you bookmark, if you prefer that instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/backmark-back-up-t...
