This shell script demonstrates a workflow for syncing highlights from a reMarkable tablet to the Readwise API. It iterates through directories containing highlight files, extracts the document title from accompanying metadata, and processes JSON highlight data using `jq`. The script filters out empty highlights, constructs JSON payloads with the text, title, and author, then sends them via `curl` POST requests to `https://readwise.io/api/v2/highlights/` with an authorization token. The output is a series of API calls that populate a Readwise library with annotated passages.

This visualization demonstrates a shell-based toolkit for managing a reMarkable tablet’s document library, showing how to query, sync, and convert PDF and EPUB files via command-line functions. It uses `grep`, `sed`, `jq`, and `qrencode` to extract metadata like bookmarked pages and last-read positions, then generates QR codes or PDF summaries with ImageMagick’s `convert`. The code also synchronizes reading progress across two devices using `scp` and `ssh`, restarting the `xochitl` service to trigger file detection. Data originates from the tablet’s local JSON metadata and content files under `~/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/`.

This example demonstrates a workflow for sending academic PDFs to a reMarkable tablet directly from a DOI reference on a webpage. It shows how a DOI retrieved from a hovered reference is used to fetch and download the corresponding PDF, then transfer it to the device via SSH. The code uses Express with CORS to handle HTTP requests, `execSync` for shell commands like `curl` and `wget`, and `scp` for file transfer. The visualization aspect is minimal, focusing on the automated pipeline rather than graphical output.

This example shows a shell script that synchronizes PDF and EPUB files from a Nextcloud instance to a reMarkable tablet, automatically adding the necessary metadata and content files so the documents appear in the tablet’s library. The script uses `rsync` to transfer files, `mount.davfs` to access the Nextcloud WebDAV endpoint, and custom helper functions to generate `.metadata` and `.content` JSON files for each new document. It also tracks newly added files in `/tmp/newfilesaddedduringsync` and optionally restarts the `xochitl` service if a configuration file requests it.

This shell script demonstrates how to insert a blank page into a reMarkable tablet PDF file, using the `qpdf` command to split and reassemble pages and `jq` to manipulate the tablet’s JSON metadata. It locates the insertion point from a page title, renumbers all subsequent PDF pages, and shifts the corresponding `.rm` annotation and highlight files to new UUIDs based on the updated `.content` page array. The script relies on `xochitl-data` file paths and handles page-count calculations via `jq`.

This example shows a Telegram bot that lets users send documents, photos, or URLs to a reMarkable tablet, automatically adding them as readable files. The bot uses `node-telegram-bot-api` with polling to listen for commands and messages, while `child_process.execSync` runs shell commands like `wget` to download content and `adddoc` to insert files into the tablet’s storage. It distinguishes between PDF/EPUB links and other URLs, generating a minimal ePub from a template when needed, then restarts the `xochitl` service to refresh the device’s library.

On device offline dictionary for reMarkable

This script generates an offline dictionary ePub for the reMarkable tablet, converting highlighted words into a reference document. It first extracts single-word highlights from existing ePub files using `grep` and `sed`, then queries the wordset-dictionary JSON files via `jq` to fetch definitions. New definitions are appended to an HTML content file, wrapped in the epubTemplate structure, and compressed into a new ePub using `7z`. The result is automatically copied into the xochitl data directory, with metadata and content JSON created via shell commands, and the xochitl service restarted to load the updated dictionary.

This example demonstrates a web server that forwards a PDF from a URL directly to a reMarkable tablet. It shows how an HTTP request containing a `pdf` query parameter triggers a download and upload cycle, ultimately returning the uploaded document’s ID as JSON. The code uses Express with CORS for the server, Node’s `https` module for fetching the remote PDF, and the `remarkable-typescript` library to authenticate via a device token and upload the file. The visualization’s behavior is purely functional, with no graphical rendering involved.

This example transforms a PmWiki source page into a searchable interface for code snippets. It fetches the page’s source via the `fetch` API, splits it into lines, and tokenizes text wrapped in `@@` delimiters. Each snippet becomes a clickable link that queries GitHub’s gist search for matches by the user “Utopiah”. The script uses `document.querySelectorAll` to locate existing `<code>` elements in the page and replaces their content with the generated anchor tags, while logging any unmatched snippets. It relies on vanilla DOM manipulation and URL construction, with no external visualization libraries.
