I know this is a tad off topic, but the one feature I wish ReMarkable had included is the ability to export your highlights, at least the snap-to-text ones.
Currently I use a third party software, RCU [1], to do this (and it works well!) but one would think ReMarkable could have included this themselves when they added the snap-to-text feature for highlighting!
I don't think that's crazy at all. Many of us like to "value-process" stuff and that just adds more fun and function.
To give a simple example I've got smart lights installed throughout my flat and with the tiniest bit of effort I can get them to do a lot more stuff than they were designed for.
Remarkable sells hardware reading devices. Web browsers, just like offline PDF and EPUB viewers, are a form of reader software.
There really isn't any mismatch here; why does it seem odd for someone to (want to) be able to address and access their desired reading material—like texts produced by Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, or dictionary entries like the author mentions—through the wildly successful system for identifying resources with URLs?

It’s crazy how direct Remarkable is about what their devices are and then the number of people who buy them and wish they were something else.

Now I wish it was better at reading pdfs. And could now load kindlebooks.

Is the SSH user:pass hardcoded?
