Recently I've been pretty discouraged watching the drama surrounding Core and Rebble's ideas for the future of the Pebble face/app store. Eric Migicovsky has put up a video with his solution that makes the Pebble app open source and treats face/app sources more like a repository that you can subcribe to. It should be possible for anyone to make their own face/app repo and stock it with their apps if they wish. Pebble will maintain its own source and maybe work out payments etc.

I'm pretty into that idea, and I think its a good solution personally.

Also really enjoyed the look at more PT2 hardware. The removable back plate is fantastic. Looking forward to my PT2.

This is exciting news! Someone should be able to make hardware even if Core fails. Maybe even hardware mods in the future.
