Well now we have a conundrum - the top 3 posts on the frontpage are all about this!

The submitted title of this post was "Google has open-sourced the pebble smartwatch operating system" but it actually points to https://rebble.io/2025/01/27/the-future-of-rebble.html, so I've changed the title and moved the comments from here to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42845070, which has the Google announcement.

The 3 threads are:

We're bringing Pebble back - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42845091

Google open-sources the Pebble OS - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42845070

The future of Rebble - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42845017 (<-- you are here)



Good exercise of your sequence priority philosophy, but I also think they all have their own right to be posted and discussed - this is exciting, and different angles and POVs can be brought to each thread. One is about Google's affairs with Pebble, one is about the community-grown Rebble, and one is about the founding team of the original Pebble itself.


I agree! though it's usually hard for the comments to stay partitioned that way.


Let them them revvel in this glory IMO :), it's rare to see this kind of thing happen in the hardware space.


DANG SAVE US hahaha
