supernote manta review [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
i'm using #supernote #manta mostly for typing in termux, but spent several hours taking notes and drawing with atelier and i'm really loving it. while there are a few things that could be improved, i'm happy with supernote hardware and software as they are today.things i like:
- operating system is simple and polished
- native apps (notes and atelier) are exactly what i needed
- easy to connect a bluetooth keyboard
- easy to sideload android apps (installed termux)
- easy to rsync things back and forth with termux (sshd keeps running even when manta is sleeping if usb-powered)
- battery lasts long enough (this time lasted two and a half days of heavy use. impressive for such a lightweight device)
- can't preview atelier files in supernote partner app (or i just couldn't find how to do that)
- note files grow quickly in size, making syncing slow, editing a single page in a large file requires transferring the entire file (for now i just have fewer pages per file)
- word is fine for simply typing out text, but not ideal for editing it (luckily, i can use vim instead)
- nordic keyboard layouts are missing (again, i can use vim and type everything i need even with just an ansi layout)
- ocr struggles to accurately recognize my handwriting (but i don't really need this feature: i prefer notes handwritten and text typed).
- i understand that people use all kinds of pens, which is why a pen loop makes sense. however, every time i try to put my manta into my bag or take it out, the pen gets caught and stuck. i haven't found a solution for this yet, so i'll probably just remove the loop altogether
- still looking for some adjustable tabletop stands/easels

supernote manta review [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
@hi This thing looks great. I hope it’s open enough that I can make software for it in the future.

supernote manta review [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
@hi on the notes file size: they tend to shrink if you use the toolbar option to bring up the file selector. Doing this runs a cleanup on the open notes, which can save a lot of space in them.
I'm working on my own sync system for the Supernote and my own server. It's not done yet (I haven't implemented partial transfers yet, or support for excluding specific files or directories), but is already faster than Supernote's built in sync service. I'm hoping to do more work on this in December.
The sync program I'm writing ties in with a separate program I wrote that generates a browsable export of notebooks, with hyperlinks between them working. I haven't worked on Atelier support yet, but do plan to do so when I have a decent block of free time to dig into the file format.

@hi@romanzolotarev.com I was looking into getting a ReMarkable Paper Pro, but this has got me thinking. Can I ask, what date formats does it support?
can you recommend a simple ebook reader app for #android-based #eink devices?
all i need is:
- browse my library at ~/Books
- open epub and pdf files
- remember reading position
- navigate page by page
- close a book and switch to another one

it's my favorite computer reader, which does exactly what you describe. don't personally know what the android experiences is though.
edit: just tried it, works pretty good. it's also on f-droid.
not sure what the difference between mini and viewer is though:
...
indeed it's very simple and does what i need... almost :)
- mupdf uses default android file browser (font size is tiny, hard to read in manta)
- pages jump a little bit when turning or when zoom in/out (animation doesn't look good on eink displays)
- couldn't find a way to close the book and open a new one (probably it's just me)

Interesting.
Elvis is a decent replacement, its GUI mode is quite nice plus it is lighter than #vim. Yes there are things #vim can do that Elvis cannot not, but Elvis GUI has a couple of modes that #vim does not. Like man mode, html mode and hex mode.
Outside of being in #OpenBSD packages it is also in #NetBSD pkgsrc. But one note, its GUI mode has issues with Fluxbox, but works fine in other window managers. This screen shows how I set up the GUI:

@hi In theory the Intel chips can do hostap mode with some restrictions. A 2GHz only AP would be possible but someone (not me) would have to write the diffs.

i want to access all my devices by their static ip address or local dns name...
right now everytime i reconnect hotspot all devices obtain new ip addresses and it's painful to re-connect them and talk to each other

An option for your need could be mDNS but… OpenBSD doesn’t have great native support for it.

• wifi access point ✅
Assuming compatible usb dongle

- android ones are too bloated;
- jailbreaking ereaders is too fragile;
- diy options are even more expensive and clumsier.

@hi first gen: emulate how this’d work. Qemu or vitualbox or docker or etc. trim down, and choose between stripped Linux/bsd OS and a genuine bespoke ssh-only OS — my vote’s on the latter being a bad choice due to challenges of owning ssh, drivers, patch.
Second gen: any odd bit of salvage / surplus HW fitting your plan. Hone in on cpu, I/O.
Third gen: a thing. Esp32 gets you WiFi Bluetooth and variety of screens, pi zero gets you hdmi. This oughta be in your mind at gens 1 & 2, including ‘to Bluetooth or not to Bluetooth’ since a freakishly-portable term is going to double usability if it readily hops between minimal config and kbd (mouse?) bigger-screen via hdmi & bt.
#goodLuck, following.

@InkomTech @hi my vote is a stripped *nix, esp32. Later if HDMI matters, get it via an addon/shield.

@hi hm, the Pomera doesn't have eink it seems, otherwise it looks really nice and can run OpenBSD https://jcs.org/2026/04/09/openbsd-dm250 - but it doesn't seem to be easily obtainable. There are more devices of this kind at https://www.writerdeck.org/
@hi have you seen this? NetBSD on the Pomera DM30 https://f.duriansoftware.com/@joe/117584169938453318

@jens not yet. uboot is GPL, so to contribute support to NetBSD upstream someone should probably cleanroom it, but i was hoping to post notes on the hardware once i get time

nowadays the situation is rapidly changing to worse.
in addition to human generated slop now we have firehouse of machine generated slop.
sometimes i just want to rewrite all software i use. or at least read the source and understand what i run on my computers...
this seems like an impossible task, but if i use less and less software maybe eventually i can rewrite it 😎
...
@hi it's not impossible ✊️ you can do it

@hi First of all, drawing on computers suck. No exceptions. No matter the convenience, you will always suffer in some way.
Any tablets that use pens with batteries suck. That goes for AES wacom digitizers especially. I've drawn the majority of my pictures on lenovo yogas, and I've gone through half a dozen pens that just kept dying randomly. The more features a pen has, the worse lines it draws. The worst of the worst are rechargable AES pens. I've had three and they were all absolutely awful. If you must use an AES tablet, get a pen with replaceable AAAA batteries.
Of the 2in1 tablet lenovo computers, the pre-AES models (x41t, x60t, x200t, x220t, x230t), the ones with the passive pens with red tips, offer the only good drawing experience when it comes to drawing directly onto the computer screen.
Ironically, external drawing tablets without a screen are probably the most accurate. And usually very cheap.
If I could go back in time, I'd stop myself from ever drawing on a computer.
...
have you tried any #eink tablets designed for writing: supernote, boox, remarkable, or something like that?
...
@hi I've only ever tried drawing on my friend's remarkable tablet, which was okay, but I can't imagine using it seriously. The lag, while minimal, is still noticeable and would get annoying quickly.
For the same reason I don't use any line-smoothing in GIMP, which uses your computer's power to calculate what you probably wanted to draw, and make the lines straighter. While it does make the lines prettier, a) the computer is now drawing for you, b) the lag is annoying.
The newer remarkable models now no longer have passive pens and need to be charged, which I would avoid like the plague.

[only downside(?) is that it doesn't work with windows or OS X any more, have to do trickery with xorg to make it work properly

I chose my "smartphone" with care…a Unihertz Jelly model running Android. The screen is small enough that it's particularly uncomfortable to use interactively¹ for any length of time. So while I can use it in a pinch to make calls, text, send a quick email reminder to myself, check the weather, or check a todo list shared with my sweetheart, or even use termux+SSH to log into a remote host for urgent issues…I have no interest in staring at it endlessly
⸻
¹ but it's fine for listening to podcasts where I push Play and then turn off the screen
...
...
I charge it to "full" (you can set a configurable threshold to help save battery life, so I have mine set to 90% as the target) overnight, take it off the charger when I get up (between 5:00–6:00am most days), and it's usually down to somewhere in the 30–50% range when I put it back on the charger before turning in for bed ~9:30–10:30pm
But usage definitely makes a difference—occasionally VLC will wander into the weeds and do _something_ (I'm not demanding anything atypical with my very boring playback habits) that lights up the CPU, makes the phone hot, and burns battery like crazy. Sometimes quitting VLC is enough to get it to chill out; sometimes it's easier to reboot the phone to impart some chill, then put it on the charger for a spell and let it recover the battery over-consumption.
