My last Pebble recently died. What should I do now?

[Avamander]

so i know there is an effort to rewrite pebbleOS, to make it open source. it is called rebbleOS, and i suggest to poke the devs and see if they have any plans of supporting pinetime.

i hope they have or can be convinced to do so.

There's multiple issues here which make it very unlikely.

a) The PineTime does not have the resources to run the current "RebbleOS" with its current architecture. (Feature parity or more is however technically possible.)

b) The Rebble dev community either wants to do things fully the "Pebble" way or it's not worth doing for them. PineTime's lack of always-on display has already disqualified it from being considered by some who have more prominent roles in the Rebble community. The mindset matters here.

c) RebbleOS development is slow - development is difficult and the Pebble hardware is disgustingly proprietary. 


Full feature parity on a newly built OS is much more likely than RebbleOS. You are better off at picking a project you like and contribute with testing pull requests and new releases, fixing small bugs, writing documentation, helping people.
