After all the failed attempts at spawning rocks. The mistakes I made when moving things around while forgetting to cover that other spot! Ohhh the trials and tribulations to get here... and now I sit and contemplate my life choices and reach... contentment?
Would I do it over? Probably.
Would I make the same mistakes? Probably.
Would it be worth it...?
Probably, you tell me.
Let's get enough traction to put this on Nintendo's radar
🍄 We need more warp pipes, please! 🍄*
A simple Quality of Life patch is all we need: let us use customization kits or through Cyrus to unlock the colored pipes and the clear glass pipes from the Mario universe. Then, just update the routing to connect the matching colors:
Not sure if this has already been said, but now that the 3.0 update is out and they actually gave us playable classic NES and Game Boy games, I feel like this is the perfect time to ask for this.
Right now, if you put down more than two Warp Pipes on your island, your destination becomes completely random. You basically have to choose between a reliable fast travel system with just two pipes, or playing a frustrating game of roulette every time you jump in.
Think about how huge this would be. We could build dedicated subway lines linking our houses to Resident Services, or the museum to the new Resort Hotel pier. Creators could build crazy mazes and multiplayer puzzle islands without relying on random RNG teleportation.
If the dev team can put fully playable retro games inside the game, linking two blue pipes together has to be an easy add.
Let's make some noise so the devs see this! Sound off below: what is the first fast-travel route you would build if they dropped this patch?

I got tired of missing balloons or getting stung by wasps because I couldn't pull the right tool in time. So I went with a purely logic-based setup.

Anyone else doing this or are you guys just dealing with random pocket roulette?

Hey everyone, XP here.
Before I get to the update, I just want to say a massive thank you. Two weeks ago, I dropped my free planner builder in this sub, and the response floored me, the posts hit 80,000 views! But more importantly, you guys gave me the exact blunt, actionable feedback I needed.
You told me the original UI was confusing and too cluttered. You were right. I’m an engineer, so I tend to over-complicate things. I spent the last few days ripping out the old interface, and the workspace now finally feels like a clean, distraction-free, paper-inspired desk.
Try the new UI here: https://planner.mycompassconsulting.com
Here is the massive update:
The Core is Still FREE You can still generate beautifully hyperlinked planners perfectly scaled for your reMarkable, absolutely free. I also completely removed all the confusing menus. Seriously, if you can't back the project right now, please just keep using the free tier. Every generation helps me stress-test the server architecture.
The "Kickstarter" Backer Event I want to step off the corporate hamster wheel and build tools for this community full-time. Instead of hiding behind subscriptions, I’m treating this like a solo community Kickstarter. To celebrate the 80,000 views you gave the original launch, I’ve set up a single backer tier to fund development:
80FOR80 at checkout.Help me build the roadmap! Since this is community-backed, we need stretch goals to figure out where to point the engine next. I'm currently looking at:
What is the ultimate feature you want to see next? Drop it in the comments, the most upvoted idea becomes our next official stretch goal.
Thank you again for stress-testing the original version. Let's make this the ultimate community-driven document engine.
Abracadabra Alakazam!

Hey everyone. I could use some tactical advice from seasoned collectors.
With the TCG’s 30th anniversary arriving this September, I’ve been preparing to release my collection into the wild. All cards have been kept in sleeves and binders since they were pulled back in 1998-99.
I’ve been contemplating how to launch a "Grading in Public" YouTube channel to document the true logistical and financial reality of the process: Personally grade > Package > Ship, Grade, Vault > Compare Results.
My plan is to film raw condition audits, break down the brutal math of current submission fees and turnaround times, and do blind reveals of the grading returns to calculate the actual ROI on camera. The concept is to stress-test the modern grading system (PSA vs. CGC vs. BGS) on camera using my untouched, single-owner 90s vault.
Since grading a massive pristine collection costs significant upfront capital and time, I need a reality check on my launch logistics:
I appreciate any feedback you guys have.
Here is most of the collection: https://store.tcgplayer.com/collection/view/430942
Hello fellow e-ink'ers,
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a web-based planner builder I've been working on. The response from the community was incredible, but the sudden volume completely slammed my backend pipeline and caused some frustrating API timeouts.
TBH the tech job market has been incredibly brutal lately, and I haven't had much luck landing anything. Instead of spinning my wheels sending out endless corporate applications, I spent the interim treating this tool as my full-time project to make it genuinely reliable for the community.
To be clear up front: the core builder engine is completely free. It generates high-resolution, fully hyperlinked PDFs precisely mapped to specific hardware screen ratios (including the reMarkable 2 & Paper Pro, Kindle Scribe, Boox Note/Tab, Supernote A5X/A6X2, iPad Pro, and GoodNotes). There are no watermarks or locked basic layouts.
To keep this post clean and compliant with the community rules, the tool link is pinned directly on my Reddit profile under the "My Remarkable Organized Planner Wizard" social link.
I need help with Cross-Platform Testing:
I need your help stress-testing this environment across different ecosystems. If you are building layouts, please let me know how the compiler behaves on your specific setup (Mac, Windows, Linux) and browser choice (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). I'm currently hunting an intermittent template drift bug that seems to specifically pop up on Safari, so telemetry there is highly appreciated.
I have Free Snacks for drivers to drive the Roadmap
To handle live support, bug tracking, and feature planning, I'm using my community Discord server. If you want to chat about e-ink setups or need direct help with your layout, the invite link is pinned on my Reddit profile right under the tool link.
To offset ongoing server maintenance and live calendar API costs, I did introduce a paid premium tier for features like live Google/Apple calendar syncing, premium templates, and bonus themes. However, if you just need a solid, high-res custom annual template to bake and download, the free tier will cover you completely.
ALSO, I want to make sure I'm prioritizing the features this community actually cares about. So I brought 10 full Pro passes I plan on giving completely free to the authors of the 10 best feature, layout, or device-specific feedback ideas dropped in the comments below. Let me know your browser/OS setup, what kind of custom grids you are testing, and what features you want to see on the upcoming roadmap!
Thanks for the support!
P.S. For early testers looking to jump into the premium tier, I also brought our soft launch coupon, active for a limited time only. Code80FOR80 gives you 80% off. It's good for 89 uses, as of this writing, there are 71 left on that code before it expires on July 4th.
Hi everyone,
First, a massive thank you to everyone who tested My Remarkably Organized Planner during the launch just 14 days ago.
The response to that first post completely blew my mind. In the last two weeks, I took all your suggestions, patched the bugs, and completely overhauled the backend to mitigate the server failures and API timeouts we were hitting due to heavy usage.
For the data nerds out there, here are the stats:
(...and I did it all without a single cup of coffee. 😂)
The truth is, the tech job market is brutal right now, and I haven't had much luck finding a new role. I realized that instead of waiting for a company to match my old salary, I should just bet on the system I already built. I don't need a massive, VC-backed corporation; I just need to sustain myself as an independent developer.
Don't worry, the core builder will always remain FREE. But to cover the massive server and API costs we are hitting AND turn my projects into a living, I'm OFFICIALLY soft-launching the Pro ecosystem today.
With July 4th coming up, my goal is to reach my own financial independence by then. So, to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of Independence Day, I’ve structured my Pro tiers to honor that legacy, centered around the Adept tier at $25, scaling up to the limited 10-Year Magus tier.
Help me celebrate my independence and permanently escape the corporate hamster wheel. May this magical planner wizard save us all from the grind of Time & Chaos.

The core builder remains FREE: It will always generate hyperlinked PDFs perfectly scaled to your reMarkable or any other e-ink tablet.
For the Pro tiers, I've added a ton of new Templates and dashing themes, along with unlocking the API integrations that dynamically pull your real schedule.
The Tiers:
(These are 365-day licenses for the Initiate/Adept. NO auto-renewal, NO subscription traps. You buy it, you own it until it expires. I know you'll come back if it's good enough.)
I’m looking for the next big feature or API integration. If you have an idea, drop it in the comments below! If I choose your suggestion for development, I will credit your account with a full 100% refund on your purchase (regardless of tier), or grant you a 1-year extension on your license. Let’s build the future of this planner together.

First, I'd like to give a BIG THANKS to you all! 👏
The feedback from my post a few days ago was phenomenal. I went back into the architecture and built out exactly what you asked for.

Hi all!
I am completely blown away by the response to my last post. Over 24,000 of you checked out the massive update to the open-source Planner Builder, and the feedback has been incredible!
Since so many of you are diving in and customizing your PDFs, I wanted to follow up with a visual guide to the new templates and layouts I've added today.
🔗 You can build your custom planner here: (https://planner.mycompassconsulting.com/)
(Pro-tip: Since you can import PNGs directly to your reMarkable, I uploaded these layouts to the image slider on this post! You can swipe through, long-press/right-click to save them, and load them onto your device as working samples or sleep screens right away!)
Before we dive into the specific layouts, I have to mention a huge new feature I added: The Template Gallery. This gallery actually serves two purposes. First, it acts as your visual selector when you are actively building your full planner, making it so much easier to see exactly what you are putting into your PDF. Second, it allows you to download individual template pages directly to your device! This is great for those of you who just want to grab a couple of direct pages to test out rather than generating a massive multi-page document.
Whether you are building a full system or just grabbing single pages, here is exactly what you have at your disposal:
When you are building your perfect setup, here is exactly what you have at your disposal:
I know everyone's brain works a little differently, so I built four distinct daily layouts for now. Tell me how YOUR brain works and help me build the next set of templates:
When you need to zoom out. Whether you are mapping out a multi-week marketing campaign, coordinating event logistics, or just need to see the shape of the months ahead, these macro-views keep you oriented:
For my fellow developers, managers, and remote workers, I brought proper project management layouts straight to your e-ink device:
Managing a busy household with kids, pets, and weekly family traditions is a massive system to maintain in itself. I built these layouts to help you keep the plates spinning outside of work:
For the deep dives and long-term systems. Whether you are tracking financial milestones, mastering a new framework, or cataloging deep studies into esoteric philosophy, these custom collections give you the blank canvas to synthesize everything:
Quick Reminder on Presets: If you don't want to build your planner page-by-page, you can use the (12) 1-Click Presets on the site. I've pre-configured setups for Software Engineers (Agile/Standup focused), ADHD Focus (Zero clutter, huge brain dumps), Health & Fitness, Academic, and Sketch Journaling, and more.
Let me know which template is your favorite or if there is a specific layout you'd love to see added next!
Thank you all again for the amazing support, the bug reports, and the feature requests. As I mentioned in my last post, tinkering with this open-source project is keeping me sane while I hunt for my next remote engineering leadership role (CTO/Principal/Architect), so keep the feedback coming. My DMs are still open!
Hi all! (Long-time lurker, first-time poster! I was so excited to share this update with the community, I finally created an account >_< )
A while ago, u/brianschwabauer built an incredible open-source planner generator for this community. It hadn't seen a major update in a while, so I decided to completely modernize the codebase and add a ton of features you all have been asking for!
Here's the link to build your own planner: Planner Builder
New Features
Bug Fixes
The core of what made the original great is still there: it’s built entirely in your browser (no data is saved to any servers), it generates fully hyperlinked PDFs, and it is completely free to use. Huge shoutout to the original dev for laying such a fantastic foundation.
BTW if you like the planner Buy Me A Coffee! No pressure.
A quick personal note: I was recently laid off and am actively hunting for my next remote role (CTO, Principal Engineer, or Software Architect). Tinkering with massive projects like this planner builder keeps me sane between interviews, but if anyone here knows a team looking for engineering leadership, I’d love to connect. My DMs are open!
Let me know what you think of the new features! If you find any bugs or have feature requests, drop them in the comments so I can patch them. You can even open a direct support ticket right from the app's footer on the homepage!
