devRant Pebble watchface

Tried out some Pebble watch face development tonight. What do you think?

R. I. P. Pebble

This alone makes it worth it.

Finally got myself a pebble. I love it so far 😍

Before I left corporate America, I worked with a guy who was basically the definition of 'idiot savant' sans the actual diagnosis. He was ridiculously smart, but couldn't stay on task to save his life.

Like one time we landed a project with a major client. My team was running backend, his was running mobile integration. After a month of little to no visible activity, we approached him and he just said 'oh yea, i got sidetracked'... but he wasn't working on anything else. Just found some random shinny pebble that caught his attention and he bailed on everything else.

To make matters worse, his personal hygiene was nonexistent (I don't think he's showered since either), and he LOVED writing things in super-obscure languages that even the best we had hadn't ever heard of, with nonsensical (and often totally misleading) variable names and no inline comments. Trying to put someone new on something he'd touched was like asking an English professor to translate a 10K year old tablet dug up in the middle of the desert. Just didn't work.

But... the CEO flat out refused to get rid of him for years, until virtually every other employee simultaneously turned in our two weeks.

Any of you Internet losers still rockin' a Pebble watch? Cheers from Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast.

I’ve been programming with other languages than Python for so long that when I finally had to pick up Python to help teach my friend some python I felt like I was rediscovering a past life.

With Python I feel like King Fucking Arthur with the Holy Blade Excalibur, armored up and ready for fucking war.
When I’m writing a script I feel like I’m parrying and piercing my blade straight through that fuckers chest and slam them into the fucking ground. And leave their bleeding out cold dying body on the fucking ground with no hope in their eyes.

Although when an indentation error occurs I feel like I just fucking tripped over a fucking pebble and apparently stairs were nearby and I bash my head on all 1024 steps, get to the bottom to just to get some fucking Java Chad punt my fucking head like a fucking football screaming random reasons to not use python.

I am writing a graphics library for low power small memory footprint micro controllers to implement pebble watch like vector animations ( gif shows what i am trying to implement)
But I couldn’t find time 😔

So we just had our engagement party and I figured at least a good portion of you would appreciate the cake :)

The story behind is also linked to how I proposed by giving her a Pebble watch...

Why must you twist the knife like this Fitbit?
I already know Pebble is gone.... You can't replace them...

Finished my first Pebble watchface!

Opened up the authenticator on my watch yesterday and one of the codes (yes this is when you can use plural for the word 'code') was 7000000. Unfortunately I wasn't able to snap a photo of it... :(

Phone always on silent. And disable notifications on most apps.
Have been using a Pebble Time for a while and can't even remember the last time my phone has been ringing or beeping.
Sadly Pebble is no more 😧

Anyone have a Pebble watch that they wear still? Is it still supported despite them being shut down?

Does anyone know if android 8.0.0 had a Bluetooth bug at all?
My pebble would just not stay connected to my phone (they are both brand new at that point) and when they did randomly connect it was for literally a second.

Now with 8.1 it hasn't disconnected once... I'm so confused!

Best smartwatch ever, Pebble Time. I'm sad, that they went bankrupt and were bought by FitBit, epecially because they have the best battery life 😭

Hey devs, Are there any cool tricks I can do with my pebble watch?
Custom software's , or some other tricks

too enthusiastic about i3
too lazy to remove the pebble out of my shoe

Aight fuck it. I'm pulling the trigger. Pebble time round it is!

Version 3.14 of pebble sdk out? Woot woot!

`pebble sdk install ${PI}`

still waiting for my (Kickstarter) Pebble Time 2 to ship.

Hmm... A big text on a UI.Card (on Pebble) crashes the watchapp.
I could design a string length handler and its own text display function...
Or I could divide the text into smaller chunks and call it a day.

Here we go,"4.5"! "4.5+"! "4.5++"!

And now I could look into why it crashes when pressing the back button on a semi long text...
Or I could think of it as an automated memory cleanup! Yeah, right! Awesome! Plus, it's only two press to go back where I was!

What did the shy pebble wish for? That she was a little boulder.
