This just hit Kickstarter and it's already at $300k+ in funding. I bet it hits is $1m goal before 8am PT.
The watch is more fitness-focused but I'm more curious about the Core a internet-connected, "hackable computer on your keychain". Some use cases: track your pet, open your garage, call an Uber, record voice notes.
Any plans to integrate Alexa or Google Assistant to make the Core essentially an assistant you can talk to, @ericmigi?
The last time they launched a Kickstarter I made this little website to graph how much money they've raised in real-time. I just updated it to this new Kickstarter: http://pebbletimetracker.herokua...
Just the last few minutes:
@jkupferman - Nice! I love to watch the Kickstarter pages of super active campaigns like this! It is incredible. I watched the card game Exploding Kittens when they were live, but this is a whole new level! Also, wanted to hunt your site but discovered it was already on PH https://www.producthunt.com/tech... !
@d0b0 It would we interesting if Pebble Core hooks onto several devices to create a seamless transition between the same apps on different devices.

Looks great, but was expecting a more significant discount on the Time 2 for early backers.

@datmarsh or for those who have backed Pebble before (personally I have backed twice on KS)

I know the Kickstarter path works well for them, but a part of me hates seeing KS so shamelessly used as a PR vehicle. We all know they could do all of this without resorting to a campaign.

Think it's pretty silly they're still on kickstarter... as if they need a kick start. Time 2 looks cool though.
Man, these things keep getting better.
I still recall seeing an early model at Old Pro; I have to remind myself that a small, yet formidable team are mostly up against multi-$B hardware companies. Excited to see the lightweight OS continue to get improved and be an alternative in market. Go Eric & Team Go!
