I often think about this when a company goes under, especially hardware focused ones. I assume it's only a matter of time that their servers will no longer accepting requests, APIs will no longer function and your device will suddenly become useless. Personally, I feel that this is a perfect use case where open source can shine by liberating locked down devices.
- projectramo 9y agoThat is a great point. One I had buried in my subconscious. I wonder what my options are.
- ghaff 9y agoFor sleep tracking specifically, Apple bought Beddit. It's a strip that you lie on which may be better or worse depending upon your situation than something you wear. I have a review copy I got. It seems to work OK although I don't really get any insights from the data. Fitbit is, of course, another option.
- hboon 9y agoBased on a sample size of 2, I was pretty sure that among FitBit, Jawbone, Misfit and Health mate (remember them?), Jawbone UPs provided the most accurate sleep tracking.
