Great. Thanks.
> As for SDL3 it should be possible to make a new host using it to make porting easier. My real interest is to have it running well on the Remarkable Paper Pro. Currently everything is working reasonably well there, but the hand writing recognition is really flakey there (more so than I remember on the real device)
SDL3 runs in the reMarkable as a standalone (terminal) app, or as a cooperative desktop app. It solves pen input and timer bases as well, so maybe that helps with your HWR issues.
I did look into alternative HWR libraries. There is great stuff out there that works great with the vector data that the pen produces (vs. pixel maps). One or two have non-commercial licenses. If you are interested, I'll try to find my notes.
