Eight years later, you still can’t beat a Pebble

** It's happening!! **
We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble
With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...

iPhone Pebble watch users will finally be able to reply to all notifications! At least in the EU...thanks to the DMA
Someone sent me more details about Apple's AccessoryNotification SDK - it will be region locked to EU. But the upside is that it has an API for responding to notifications, finally!

lots of people requested Google Keep integration for Index 01. Tested out github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi, works great.
Will be very straightforward to add support for Keep! Which other note syncing integrations should we add? It already supports adding to a Notion doc. Todoist?

We just launched a new product - Pebble Index 01
It's a small ring, with a button and mic. Press the button, talk and it saves your thought.
I use it many times during the day to jot down reminders, todos, book recs, etc while my hands are full.
Just $75 - preorders on rePebble.com/index

only 2 weeks in to the Pebble App being fully open source and there's already a new PR adding health data support! Thank you Michael - love to see it github.com/coredevices/...
health integration by michaelthatsit · Pull Request #54 · coredevices/mobileapp
this is pretty early. all it does is pull the health data from the watch, and push the averages to it.
I'm thinking it's probably best to add this and do any UI changes in a separate PR: In...

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Pebble going fully open source is a big win for hardware preservation. ⌚️🔓 But for mobile devs, the real story is in the repo.
The new app is a pure KMP + Compose Multiplatform rewrite.
230k lines (Legacy Java/ObjC) ➡️ 37k lines (Kotlin)
Shipped in 6 months with just 2 devs 🔥

Thanks to this, I found the delightful Palm Powered watchface! Speaking of Palm, I’d love to hear more about if/how PalmOS UX influenced or was involved with Pebble, I feel like there’a a connection there.
