opkg update
opkg install node-npm
How to use
- Clone repo:
git clone https://github.com/khanhas/hackernews2remarkable
If you don't have git
, just download repo zip file and unzip:
wget "https://github.com/khanhas/hackernews2remarkable/archive/main.zip" -O "hackernews2remarkable.zip"
unzip "hackernews2remarkable.zip"
- Download dependencies:
cd hackernews2remarkable
npm install
- On your reMarkable device, create a Folder that will be used to store articles. You can name whatever you want, for example, I name it "HackerNews".
Run following commands to find out what this new folder guid is:
grep -il '"visibleName": ".*HackerNews.*"' /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/*.metadata
Your folder id should look somewhat similar to this: 764bceb9-abf1-4229-a025-f0dc59ac5c0c
. Copy that id and set it in config.json
.
- Run:
node main.js
- Restart reMarkable reading app:
systemctl restart xochitl
