This reminds me of why Dieter Rams never designed a car: "Rams expressed irritation that the automotive industry has historically focused on building faster cars rather than rethinking the transportation system as a whole to genuinely serve society."

My problem with F-Droid has always been the lack of app reviews: no way to separate the good from the ugly and the bad.

Great unbiased write up on the recent Rebble vs Core kerfuffle.

When you turn Notifications off for showing, they're just in the "inbox" & won't show on the watchface when received. You can then just access them whenever you want from the menu OR you can create a button shortcut that activates when pressing down.

FYI the previous generation of Pebble OS did not have a message counter, but this generation will apparently add this to its complications.

RE: Pocket, I could care less as I've been an Instapaper user for years, but it does give one a hint at the direction Mozilla has been on for a number of years now...

RE: Fakespot, this one really really hurts. Even if the ratings weren't accurate sometimes, it helped guide me in the direction of finding and distinguishing bad/fake products from good (or good enough). I always wondered what their business model was... Sad to see that their competitor Reviemeta also died out. Is there no hope for an alternative to these? Any thoughts on making a service like Fakespot and having it be profitable or at least self-sustaining? I can only think of a subscription service for having curated reviews, maybe prioritizing reviews from susbscribers...

I hope they succeed. Would buy this if it worked offline. Wish Pebble hadn't gone broke and had launched their Pebble Core device. Always thought it was a great idea.

His point is with regards to reaching & maintaining profitability, not revenue spending.
