Hello,

PineNote seems the only eink tablet targeting linux hackers, whom would modify and extend the eink ecosystem.

1. Question. Is there any development community around PineNote?

reMarkable is heavily hacked as in reMarkable Awesome List but the company's design of the OS is clearly against it.

1. Question. Why are people extending an OS whose values don't comply with FOSS?

Supernote is a great product, centered around empowering the user. For example, to back-up notes, you can just copy-paste .note files, similar to backing-up a markdown file! Some hobbyists attempted to extend it as in Supernote Awesome List but the community is very small.

In this thread a product manager replied for the decision of Android:

I'm a Linux fan like many Supernote users.

I started the Supernote brand three years ago. I did not hesitate to use the Linux system.

We found most commercial applications and libraries are only available for Windows /Ios/ Android platforms, but except Linux. So we applied Android for this direction.

1. Question. Do you think Supernote deserves a support from the Linux community?

2. Question. Could the Linux Foundation initiate an open standard for eink development toolkit and libraries?

I don't mind using Android as a Linux fan, but I want to enjoy the freedom of Linux.
