Does this mean we can port all the Qt things to the ReMarkable?

Hello,

Sorry, that's probably not the place for this, but I'm just curious : considering this runs on Qt, does this mean we could build, say, QtWebBrowser? I have no experience building stuff for the ReMarkable, but the lack of a browser (even a basic one) feels like the biggest drawback. I'll have to give mine back to my school in a few months, and the lack of browser is the only thing holding me back from buying one :(

If you have any idea on how to get one working on the ReMarkable, you'd be making my month :)

Not every Qt app will run on the tablet as the set of libraries available is limited. I suggest you to ask on the reMarkable discord. The topic has been discussed many times. Currently you can run a terminal based browser (like elinks) on a terminal emulator for the rM (fingerterm, yaft). A GUI based browser will eventually be developed by the community (well, by some of the awesome people there), i have no doubt.
