Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

    I disagree with calling it “dumb”. it was perfect for it’s niche. I want a watch to show the time, basic notifications, media control… not send an email.

    Pebble always on screen and long battery life was perfect for a wearable. all other smartwatches are basically miniaturized phones that do way too much in a screen that can’t handle it. If something is easier to do on the phone, it does not need to work on a smartwatch.

    Hopefully the new pebbles are good, I am worried that the new one’s touch screen will make a touch based UI, which suck on tiny screens,
