For what it's worth he IS contributing to libpebble3 at least, but yes most of it is closed

I do get the idea, he wants to build hardware and thus needs to be able to do whatever he wants to the code and not wait for merges but it sucks he seems to probably take it too far, for example not using the Rebble mobile app and instead making his own around the library, that's also closed source

I mean, it’s not that I necessarily blame him for taking stuff that is open source, but giving the impression that you will not sideline the others entirely and then doing so anyway feels icky.

I wouldn’t want to deal with a random open source project while running a company either, but I wouldn’t try to pretend to either, I hope.
