Why it worked

The video effectively showcases a unique and novel application of existing technology (reMarkable tablet + AI) in a way that feels magical and intriguing, tapping into a desire for a more analog and personal interaction with AI.

Summary

This video demonstrates 'riddle', a software that transforms a reMarkable Paper Pro tablet into an enchanted diary. It allows users to write with a pen, and the software then generates a reply in flowing script, animating the answer stroke by stroke.

Original caption

Riddle turns a reMarkable tablet into Tom Riddle's enchanted diary: you write with the pen, the page drinks your ink, and a reply writes itself back in flowing script. Chatting with an AI on an e-ink device usually means a laggy keyboard and a chat bubble UI that kills the whole feel. This reads your raw handwriting straight off the pen, sends the committed page to a resident on-device model, and animates the answer stroke by stroke. #github #opensource
