Hi Jaimie,
Ended up working a bit on Remarkable due to using it for converting a document to markdown. The document was instructions for how to get a piece of Software to show up in the desktop software center,
GNOME Software specifically. So I decided to try to make Remarkable the testcase for proofing the documentation. So what I ended up doing was create Meson build files for Remarkable, add a appstream description file, and tweak the Remarkable binary to accept being installed where Meson decides to install it. I finally added a .spec file and a yum repo file pointing to the github hosted repo I set up for testing my Remarkable build and appstream metadata. The resulting RPM works except for the help document, haven't looked into why that doesn't show up.
Apart from that the metadata do allow for Remarkable to show up in GNOME Software as you can see with this screenshot - http://imgur.com/a/rTsyR
Hope some of this work is interesting for you and that you would be willing to host a proper upstream Yum repo for Remarkable(setting it up as the one I am pointing to in the .repo file included) as I would love to make it available through GNOME Software on Fedora.
