Transform Your reMarkable Paper Pro into Tom Riddle's Magical Diary
Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter
I built an app for the reMarkable Paper Pro that turns your handwritten notes into a magical conversation with Tom Riddle. After you write, the ink fades, and the diary responds in a flowing hand using a vision LLM. You can run this via an OpenAI-compatible API or a local setup, creating a seamless experience with no screen glow or keyboard, just pure ink on paper.
Write on the page with your pen. After a pause, the diary drinks your ink — your words fade into the paper — the page thinks for a moment, and an answer writes itself back in a flowing hand, stroke by stroke, then fades away.

Ironically, Tom Riddle's diary encouraging kids to commit suicide [1] and then showing them how to do it would be more on brand than the version in the books.

I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)

Why so many negative comments on this? I find it cool. I showed this to my son and he absolutely loved it. The author is clearly a fan and this by no means is a production-grade product. Just someone tinkering in their free time and gave the DIY guide away for free. I just don’t understand the negativity.

This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word.
I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now.
There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.
We are not in the slow times anymore.

This is one of those ideas that would really benefit from a short video demo, gif, or even a screenshot directly in the README. Otherwise, the title reads like a "Curtains for Zoosha?" meme. [0]

Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can’t see where it keeps its brain

> No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI.
Is this not just... a chat UI?

If Fable can now create horcruxes, the Commerce Department should seriously consider another time out.
