I've just got an awesome Xteink X4 ESP32 E Ink reader and flashed the awesome CrossPoint Reader over awesome WebSerial, which took like 30 seconds in browser. Then I thought, wouldn't it be even more awesome if I could read my notes from the awesome Simplenote? That way I could send text snippets to Xteink from literally anywhere - fast and with zero friction. Also it will make Xteink useful as a standalone, distraction-free device. I was considering creating a PR to the CrossPoint Repo, when I realized the functionality is already there in the form of OPDS support (readonly) - I just needed a bridge. One awesome Cloudflare Worker and ~100 lines of code1 later, my Saturday was made. This was exactly what I needed: effortlessly making the gadgets and services I love - old and new - work together: Xteink X4 + CrossPoint + Simplenote + Cloudflare = 🤩 Living with a modern technology stack has its benefits!
