I wish they were hosted on Codeberg instead of Github though :/

Wasp uses Python?! does that mean you can make apps and watch faces using python as well?

i had my eye on bangle.js for this reason, to make custom apps, but i havnt been too pushed about having to write them using javascript

I'll admit I've not looked into this yet, but does anyone know if any of these can be installed on Galaxy Watch (7) or do Samsung lock down their watches (boot) the same way they do their phones?

Unfortunately none of them support the Galaxy Watch (7)

However the closet thing is the Samsung Gear Live

The project says they use the donations to buy unsupported models to develop on.

I had never heard about these. And I see I own 2 watches compatible with AsteroidOS! Yay!

Helping you build your FOSS stack makes me very pleased ❀️

It’s time to resurrect your watches and install clean software πŸ₯³
