BREAKING CHANGE: Requires Python server for highlight extraction ## Problem reMarkable firmware 3.0+ changed from .highlights/*.json files to storing text highlights as GlyphRange objects inside binary .rm files. The existing code couldn't extract highlights from modern reMarkable tablets. ## Solution - Add Python API using rmscene library to parse v6 .rm binary files - Update highlights API to download .rm files and send to Python for parsing - Fix reMarkable cloud API endpoints that had changed - Update to use rmapi-js library for cloud API interactions ## Changes - pages/api/highlights.ts: Rewritten to download .rm files and call Python API - pages/api/files.ts: Updated to use rmapi-js library - pages/api/register.ts: Fixed API endpoint URL - pages/api/refresh-token.ts: Fixed API endpoint URL - pages/index.tsx: Simplified to work with new rmapi-js - api/parse-highlights.py: NEW - Vercel serverless Python function - python-server.py: NEW - Local development Flask server - requirements.txt: Added rmscene>=0.5.0 and flask>=2.0.0 - README.md: Updated with Python setup instructions ## Local Development For local development, run the Python server alongside Next.js: python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate pip install rmscene flask python python-server.py # Terminal 1 npm run dev # Terminal 2

BREAKING CHANGE: Requires Python server for highlight extraction
Problem
reMarkable firmware 3.0+ changed from .highlights/*.json files to storing text highlights as GlyphRange objects inside binary .rm files. The existing code couldn't extract highlights from modern reMarkable tablets.
Solution
Changes
Local Development
For local development, run the Python server alongside Next.js:
python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install rmscene flask
python python-server.py # Terminal 1
npm run dev # Terminal 2
