PebbleOS - things are going quite well - we're currently focused on Bluetooth reliability, fixed some major bugs this week with the help of @codecoup_pl (thank you!). Things are fairly stable now (🤞) - battery life is still unoptimized in PebbleOS, but we've verified that the hw can hit 30+ days

- major things that we haven't started working on yet: health (step/sleep) tracking, speaker API, magnetometer/barometer

SDK We made it's suuuuuper easy to install the Pebble SDK and build a watchface/app: 1) install uv (docs.astral.sh/uv/) 2) uv tool install pebble-tool 3) pebble new-project my1stapp 4) cd my1stapp && pebble build 5) pebble install --emulator aplite
