I am gobsmacked by the unexpected good news just shared by @rebble: Google released the #PebbleOS code as #FreeSoftware (Apache license), #Rebble obtained the source code for Snowy, #EricMigicovsky is planning to produce a new #PebbleWatch, and the Rebble team is planning another #Hackathon. Just wow. Thank you, @ishotjr, @Katharine (and all others not easily reachable via the fediverse).

Coincidentally, four days ago, #PebbleWatch step counts stopped syncing to Google Fit (simultaneously on both my watch and my spouse's). I assume this is due to a back-end change, related to Google Fit reaching EOL... but I haven't seen anyone discussing it yet, on Reddit, etc. My spouse is participating in some "Step Bets" and is distressed about it! (Me, I hadn't even realized step counts were still syncing until I checked.) I'd love to know a workaround if there are any.

@rebble @ishotjr Interestingly, some @GadgetBridge hackers have made inroads on getting wearable fitness data (steps, heartrate) synched to Android Health Connect (since Health Connect is AOSP and on-device only).

Unfortunately (for my partner, anyway), it seems like the PR merge is held up by one contributor opposed to enabling this ... they seem to feel it's a trojan horse for more nefarious access in the future. 😔
