We have seen a couple of those landscapes already, but not as nice as those. It's quite neat as well that it's open-source.

Agree - and for once not by a VC who's basically creating a thirst trap for startups

Interesting to think of the back and forth of complexity here. Now I can build my own version of slack that only has the features my team needs, and all the features work exactly the way my team wants it, but I need to write integrations so it works with a bunch of other software, and I need to understand the right way for those integrations to work, and by the way I'm integrating with a bunch of other custom software, and understanding the use cases for all that software is too complicated for just one person so we need multiple "software managers (product manager/developer combo) to manage all that software, and we need a place to run and people to understand how to run it on our completely custom container orchestrator that works exactly the way we want.

And maybe we lose some of the benefits of a shared ecosystem where we all run the same software with the same workflows an the shared plugin systems. And I do think this is a relatively likely outcome, because I think there's something inherently human around wanting to adapt the software to yourself rather than adapting yourself to the software.

It will be like this but in the millions:

100% there's definitely trade-offs here

I love my remarkable 2. Bought it before "Connect" was a thing, so I don't have a subscription. But I cannot recommend it to anyone. There are better alternatives out there and MyDeepGuide (youtube) has reviewed them all better than I ever could.

The software is moving too slowly and often in a wrong direction. Especially since they released the keyboard folio most updates were around typing (which is supar on any eink device)... and they generally made my experience as a pen user worse.

I don't care if the new hardware is awesome, whenever mine breaks I will switch to a competitor.

EDIT: the reviewer I mention is excited about the device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkEg8WLeW4Q

100 times this. The hardware is great. The software sucks.

I literally can't believe in 2024 it's still not straight forward to "send a blog post from my phone to my remarkable" without some mangling happening along the way. It was genuinely jawdropping for me, I ended up contacting an employee on LinkedIn to confirm that this wasn't a well supported workflow
