On Android, should I give a try to GadgetBridge, which seems both more open but way less official, instead of the Pebble app?
And by the way, why not make the Pebble app open source? I don't see any compelling reason.
- ItsHarper 1y agoThe underlying library (libpebble3) is open source, and Rebble has plans to fund their own app based on it. I plan to switch to that once it's ready. In the meantime, I believe GadgetBridge is more limited, so I'm planning to stick with the official app for now.
- commoner 1y agoNot impressed to see the official Pebble app and app store be closed source once again. Looks like Pebble is taking the Google Play route by making it inconvenient to use the underlying open source software without a proprietary service.
