I agree with you.

I had a brief stint in hardware design, and an FPGA is almost always going to be worse than dedicated hardware for a task, but it's extraordinarily flexible.

Most workflows I saw - you design the hardware on the FPGA (hugely useful for quickly testing and prototyping) then you outsource and actually build a custom chip if you really want speed.

It's also a great polyfill tool - since it can take the place of a lot of other hardware peripherals at a moment's notice.

Hey horsawlarway,

This is definitely the wrong way to ask but in another thread about the PineNote, you mentioned you have a flow to sync your RM2 to Bookstack -- are your scripts on github or any other place? If not, would you consider making them public or posting on Reddit /r/selfhosted/ and/or /r/RemarkableTablet/ ?

I'm new to HN (as a poster, long-time lurker) and I didn't find a way to directly send you a message.

Unfortunately I have not made them public. I'd have to go and clean up a lot of places where I have hardcoded auth.

It's not going to be tomorrow (or probably any time in the next month or two) but I have been intending to do the cleanup at some point.

If I post them, I'll shoot you a link.
