In a crowded space of Twitter competitors, a friendly and beloved platform closed its doors. One of the creators now runs a Mastodon instance.

I hadn’t heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

Same here, I was wondering if there was some last remnant of Pebble watches still running for a second there.

I miss my Pebble too. I went to a Galaxy Gear S3 for a few years before ending up at a Fossil hybrid smart watch with a ink screen that gives me several days of battery life like my Pebble Steel use to have. It’s ok but it’s no Pebble.

I’m surprised nobody has taken on bringing compatible hardware to market. I feel like there would (still) be crowdfunding interest.

I held on to my Time Steel for so long, but I finally switched to AsteroidOS on a Huawei Watch. No AOD, way too bright with lights off and unreadable in the sun, and have to charge it every night (barely lasts a day). I’m heavily considering going back.

Ex-Pebble wearer here, and now I’m sad :(
