This project is really interesting to liberate your smart watch.

Just wondering, is the original Gadgetbridge repo not willing to accept code to merge?

They're also on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/!KlgIJeiotNGZkxSqRi:matrix.org



The main developer is very open to merging, so there must have been good reasons to not merge - I presume either code quality or requirements for network connection, which Gadgetbridge intentionally does not permit.


I've been using it since I acquired my first Pebble (then the Pebble Steel, then the Pebble Time Steel).

In fact I'm still using it, from my Mi Band 3, to the Mi Band 4 and now the Amazfit Bip.

The folks behind it are doing a great job, and I'm glad they're doing it.


I kind of regret buying a Fitbit, unfortunately it's not part of that list!
