• Wow, thanks for sharing that! That's really interesting - I think your work on eucwatch was awesome, and it's a real shame others tried to cash in on it. It's 100% not your fault.

    And of course someone selling a eucwatch for £75 -basically the same as we sell Bangle.js 2 for!

    The first time I wrote in this board, it was to ask you to consider supporting EUC's ... it was not a surprise you dismissed it

    I'm sorry my response seemed negative to you - I've tried to look back and the earliest mention I could find was in this thread where I seemed pretty positive about it?

    From my point of view Bangle.js was meant for exactly this kind of thing - a platform where someone with a slightly niche use could develop something cool and useful and share it with like-minded people, so what you were doing seemed great, and could have been installable via https://banglejs.com/apps

    But I think you felt that the Bangle.js was too expensive a watch to use for it? And so for me the question wasn't whether I want to support EUCs (I do/did!) but did I want to sell a smartwatch for half the price, which is something I can't really do because handling support/returns/etc just costs too much money for it to be worthwhile.

    it now has UI elements for the buttons, a nice slider for changing values etc, I had it supporting "dual boot" in the bangle.js2

    That sounds great - is it public at the moment?

    If this is something that runs on Bangle.js, would you consider adding it to banglejs.com/apps ? I'm happy to help.

    If there's really demand for Bangle.js 2 running the eucwatch software, I'd be very happy to offer a version in the shop where we preinstall eucwatch on the Bangle, sell it and then give you some of the profit? Although obviously if eucwatch is on the app store it's not going to be hard for others to do that (but we can always do referral fees).

    I know you say it's not about the money, but at least for me, knowing that people use and value my software is a big motivation to keep me wanting to maintain and improve it.
