Well to be honest, I think you’re right, but at the same time, it costs nothing to make them aware of a complete working OS that is not IOS or Android. Company need to know that Android and IOS are not the only solutions, even if these known companies want to. I think this situation could be the same as the situation we were some years ago with internet browsers. For the first time some months ago, I met a person with a Jolla phone. I thought I was the only one in my city. It’s because we are talking about it, about what we like in SFOS, why we choosed this alternative, why we are someway proud to be part of a open-source community, and value different aspect of this ecosystem, that some alternatives can reach new boundaries.
So talking about it to companies is surely a great thing, even if goes nowhere for now.
And for sure asking them for API is also a great thing.
But to be honest, it’ll be probably more difficult than asking them to develop it themselves.
I’m maybe wrong, but Pebble used an open-source protocol from the beginning, right ? It’s not so common unfortunately, and it’s probably not the case of the Withings company.
I’ll be pleased to be wrong, because I’m fully into open-source, Except my watch, I only use open-source hardware/software in the everyday life.
Let’s see what’s happening. More we are to contact them, sooner it could happen
