CloudPebble Returns! Plus New Pure JavaScript and Round 2 SDK
5 hours ago
- CloudPebble has returned at cloudpebble.repebble.com, allowing browser-based Pebble app development without setup, though some features like GitHub syncing and JSHint are not yet working.
- Pebble SDK now supports Round 2 (gabbro platform) with a 260x260 pixel display, and old PTR apps automatically scale to fit.
- A new JavaScript SDK called Alloy, powered by Moddable, enables writing Pebble apps and watchfaces in standard JavaScript (ES2025) or TypeScript, running natively on the watch.
- Alloy is in Developer Preview, supports Emery and Gabbro platforms, allows mixing JavaScript with C code, and includes APIs like fetch() and WebSocket.
- Developers can try Alloy on CloudPebble or via the Pebble SDK with instructions provided, and feedback should be posted on the forum or GitHub.
- Many more SDK improvements are expected in future updates.
