    One of the coolest demos I've seen out of Ink N' Switch in while (tbh, it's seemed like they were really cooking for the year or so).

    Unfortunately, it seems they live demo they published is missing a number of the demos they featured in the talk (and its unclear how to do your own things), so it's a little hard to evaluate this more deeply.

      Glad you dug it!

      But wait — which live demo are you referring to? There's no live demo of PlayBook.

      Also, the demos featured in the talk are gathered from several different prototypes created over the past two years. PlayBook is, in some sense, a loose series of prototypes exploring this idea space, not a single "product"-like piece of software.

        Iirc there was a link posted at the end of the talk?

        Edit: I just realized I was thinking of the patchwork demo.

        Either way, after using a Remarkable for years, I've wanted something that actually tried to make use of the "digital" part of digital paper. When I came across you guys a few years ago, I was hooked (tbh, would love to work for you guys). So seeing the playbook demo was very exciting.
