Dang, I hope Eric learns from the error of his ways. His next actions will make it break this reboot. He needs to do right by his community, or someone else will reboot it better. I hope Rebble stands their ground on this. I'm considering subscribing to Rebble even though my OG Pebble has a dead battery and screen connector. This needs to stay a community project so that there isn't another fiasco. Keep on keeping on, Rebble!

Here is Eric's response: https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-rebble-and-a-path-forward
replies:
As a former pebble user, why would I throw more money at a company created by the same guy?
Fool me once...
Wait so is this about the app catalog? Because Rebble appears to be MIT-licensed open source, which means Eric can fork it and use it, even not contribute his changes back.
Either way I think we deserve some response from Eric on this.
replies:
Depending on Core’s dialogue from now on, I’m cancelling my preorder. Pebble is either FOSS or it’s dead.
replies:
I would've liked to believe Eric was the nice and honest guy he comes across as in his videos...
Why can't it ever be that simple? Just once.
Doesn't fill me with much hope, especially after my 2 Duo pre-order was cancelled because they found out there weren't enough parts.
