Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter

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] [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/15hcc4x/c...

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.

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

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.)

Ginevra was my favourite and the most beautiful character in the HP films. Poor Ginny. Relieved that she survived all that. One tough cookie.

> No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI. Just ink appearing on paper. No soul. No care. No consideration. Just slop appearing as text. Shut the *fuck* up BOT. How in the hell is this not the most appalling, offensive smell by now? All this says to me is someone proompted some garbage into barely working, didn't even bother to look at what the stupid token machine generated for a readme. How unfathomably embarassing. I cannot take any project seriously no matter how silly it presents itself as if this sort of obvious slop CRAP makes it into what is presented. Good fucking god give the slightest hint of a fuck if you want me to care at all about what you're throwing into the aether. Rub a few brain cells together, please.

This is really cool, but the best part is the response in the twitter post demo had an em-dash.

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

This is soooo incredibly cool. Beyond the Tom Riddle diary aspect, I love the idea of this as a new medium for interacting with an LLM. You could gift it to someone and they could just write naturally, their thoughts, questions, notes, and get responses back without typing or speaking. It feels less like a chatbot and more like a journal you can communicate through. You could give it a personality and all.

I've heard of Harry Potter.

For those of us that hate Harry Potter, this apparently takes your written prompt and responds on the Remarkable. I think you'd have to be a fan of the series to care as otherwise this is just a really slow chat interface.

Very cool. I don't have a remarkable, but have the Amazon Kindle Scribe. Same idea. Would any of you be so kind to waste your precious Fable tokens on getting something like this working there? I have other plans for my remaining Fable tokens. :0

This is strong “criticism of the man in the arena” energy on my part, but I’m kind of disappointed the text just wipes across, rather than the ink sort of “emerging” from the page like in the movie, with the heavier parts of the font appearing first and the thinner lines appearing last. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9GgYbFVYkow&t=2m40s

What in the click bait? DeepSeek V4 Pro could one shot a three js project better than this

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. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots#Suic...

One day we are going to have flying broomsticks and I cannot wait. Hopefully I wont be 90 years old though

Amusingly, I made the same thing late last year, though just on an ordinary computer, allowing you to draw in the browser. I used pageflip [0] with styling akin to Riddle's actual diary and a tiny local model crafted for roleplay via ollama. I remember writing "my name is Harry Potter, what is yours?" and getting back Snape, Malfoy, and even Harry Potter back across a number of iterations. After completing my experiment I learned I wasn't the first to think of this idea and found a few other similar AI Riddle diaries out there. Incidentally, I have a Remarkable 2 and as of this weekend an m4 iPad air. Maybe I'll test this one out and see what the landscape for running models on iOS looks like. 0) https://nodlik.github.io/react-pageflip/

Criminal lack of a demo video in the github

Ok I'll admit it. At this point, Fable is good enough that I question what the point of me being a software engineer is other than "You're cheaper than Fable... for now.

minraws

I have questions how is this something I couldn't do manually over a weekend or with my dozens of other models. What's the point that Fable is making here?
