    Great Video as always. Why did "The Art of Code" go viral but your channel goes completely under the radar? You really deserve more viewers.
  • This is the BEST review on this device. Thank you! There are a lot of things I wanted to do with these apps that I see now I won't be able to do. That would've been a costly thing to find out. Thank you for going through the actual apps.

    Interesting review. Thank you. I was wondering about the kindle app
  • @feckingud
    Interesting, if it has technical limitations as soon as you can have a terminal with SSH and a virtual keyboard everything may be possible.
  • @Alexander-zn8mw
    Dylan, is it possible to do, for example, JS coding on the device? I mean not node.js Installation and terminal operation, but coding in vanilla js or python?

    So the remarkable would get glitchy if stored next to a laptop due to the magnetics in the laptop. Is this device safe to store near a laptop? That was the deal breaker on the remarkable for me
