Thank you for the honest answer. It is a definitive show-stopper for me to continue using your service considering how much access you will accumulate in your database - I am sure your current setup is technically more secure than any enterprise solution - however - considering my notes and remarkable are sensitive information, and contain (c) documents I cannot risk it.
I think remarkable should consider opening/widening their API.
have you investigating using the browser extension/word/ppt "send to remarkable" API?
if you have a patreon or community I'd love to support because the idea is great!
Thanks for the kind words! I completely understand your concerns about data security - it's exactly the kind of thoughtful consideration I was hoping users would have.
I'm actually considering open sourcing the entire project, which would allow security-conscious users like yourself to self-host the service. Alternatively I could also build a "self-hostable reMarkable gateway" that could issue write-only tokens, though this would require some architectural changes.
Regarding the browser extensions - unfortunately those wouldn't work for my use case since they require the user's browser to be running to execute any actions. The service needs to be able to run on its own schedule.
I don't have a Patreon set up, but your offer of support means a lot! The best way to help right now would be to probably support the development of building a more privacy focused integration once I open source the app sometime over the weekend
