Will be real interesting to see where reMarkable goes
@andy_matuschak's complaint is similar to mine for MarginNote and LiquidText Reading devices and writing need to support higher level remixing of knowledge chuncks Across books and projectshttps://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/1259290397970325504?s=19 …Conor White-Sullivan added,
Andy MatuschakVerified account @andy_matuschakSince the hardware's solid, perhaps the software flaws will improve. They sure have more velocity than the Kindle! But beyond the flaws, the real bummer for me is a deep lack of imagination in the software design. It takes the metaphor too literally. It so just wants to be paper.Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 16 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @Conaw
One weird thing about this is that ofc LiquidText *does* support composing chunks across books. I think the problem w/ projects may be more that it poorly supports composing chunks across *time*. A LiquidText workspace seems a little like a sticky note wall—mostly write-only.

(which is super valuable as a kind of sense-making of course! the people making the sticky note wall build a ton of understanding while they compose it! but that artifact itself usually can't meaningfully accrete into other artifacts after that initial session…)
