Fellow reMarkable beta testers, fill out the survey you received via email!

It basically asks you a few opinions regarding new and potentially upcoming additions, like:

- The color red (has been changed in 3.28)

- Ebook formatting, and the ability to automatically apply your custom formatting to all ebooks (potential new feature)

- The new Capture Tool, and whether or not its name is intuitive

- Import and export options, potential new export extensions (such as .svg, markdown, docx, .txt)

- Opinions on the desktop app and mobile app

- Opinions on templates

- Opinions on the toolbars and how it fits your workflow (do you often need to open submenus?), and potential improvements

- A question regarding how to improve screen refreshing (such as a manual gesture option!! HELL YEAHHH they acknowledged it). Also a question on the best way to do a manual screen refresh control

If any of these topics are of interest to you, please take the survey! I definitely want more tools on the toolbar, and a manual refresh gesture, so that's what I explicitly put in my answers. I'm so happy they are actually considering these additions at last

Is everything alright at Remarkable?

EDIT: two hours after I posted this, reMarkable made a "what's next for 3.28" post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/s/8AsKfot10n

Hey everyone, I know there's no definitive answer to this but it's been bugging me for a few weeks and it's driving me crazy that no one's talking about it. The last month or so felt off:

  1. In the last one or two months there were reports of mass layoffs at Remarkable

  2. The last update was 3.27. Historically, new betas would start rolling out before the previous version was widely available. For example, when people were receiving 3.26 stable, beta 3.27 was being rolled out. However, 3.27 has been out of beta and no 3.28 version has been spotted for over a month (and no, the split screen post wasn't real)

  3. u/VegardfromreMarkable hasn't posted for a month, whereas he's previously been regularly active. Maybe he was laid off as well?

  4. This all coincided with the Paper Pure launch. I have this feeling it's not been as big as they wanted. They were probably trying to appeal to the mainstream, but I haven't seen big tech YouTubers/websites talking about it like they talked about the Paper Pro.

Last pet peeve, but the image functionality has been added to notebooks, but the only way I can add images has been through the desktop app. Vegard said it's already available in iOS and Android, but as an Android user I can't find the option anywhere.

What are your thoughts? Am I the only one or is this situation a bit bleak?

I just found out a fun Easter egg in the weather app

If you long press around the icon you can draw with nothing dots. Pretty fun thing I haven't seen being talked about

It should be fairly basic, but seeing the device do something it couldn't in the last year or so is almost magical. It feels super intuitive and effortless.

Here's hoping they add the image functionality on mobile as well, and please, please, PLEASE, more than two pens on the toolbar.
