Really well designed!

Great team and company. If you have partners, you NEED GrowSumo!

Cool! Such an easy way to partner :D Wanted this for so long

thanks!

How and why will Pebble win, or be one of the winners, in the "war of the wearables". Ie. how will it be a similar to the android/ios platforms of mobile today

What is your take on the health care industry? Where are the biggest opportunities and leverage points? Perhaps for a YC company

Modulus does auto scaling and load balancing between their mini server instances. The fact that I can get 3-4x more servos free from Modulus (because of that program) makes it appealing. Also features that would save costs from other SaaS solutions ex. they roll similar functionality of pagerduty into it

I still think Pebble is demonstrating more Apple qualities than Apple is atm.

1. Sleek design (Pebble Time Steel looks better) 2. Innovating new markets/ideas (the new bands are doing to open the flood gates for hardware devs) 3. Keeping it simple (Apple watch wants to put a smartphone on your wrist, Pebble focuses on what watches do best)

Yup, we are well aware :)

ahah sorry, about that @jkestner. Thanks for the clarification @robwilliams. Guess thats what I get for reading fast! :P

We have users buying Pebbles for the soul purpose of using our application, that would otherwise not have purchased it.

Thats a truth few wearable companies understand. Many just shove the same functionality of the phone onto your wrist, which is the worst of both worlds. They miss out on the unique opportunities wearables have and focus on smartphone features that are sub-optimal (at best) for a wearable.

Pebble is the leader in this way of thinking. They are showing more innovation than Apple with the announcement of the smartbands. Opening up a world of possibilities for software and hardware engineers/ideas

I can speak of the one I'm developing.

We're using the Pebble to track seizures through the accelerometer (neutun.com).

With these new bands, and the amazing battery life, we could have multiple device and signal support, allowing us to branch out to other types of seizures and conditions.

This seems to me a clarification of the strategy PG proposed during a talk at PyCon 2012 and an essay called "frighteningly ambitious startup ideas". It is a great way to think about and frame how to judge startup ideas.

Mainly centering around high potential technology, overlooked ideas and opportunities that these startups can take advantage of.

My question becomes, and it seems PGs, how can you do this without the value of hindsight. One one hand, you could sit and reason why startup x or your startup idea is the Microsoft in this scenario. But you can also easily delude yourself.

Pebble, IMO, is shaping up alot like early Apple did. They are entering a competitive industry with a new product, facing a goliath and have a huge emphasis on their design & focus on developer. Which makes me believe history will repeat itself. That if we have the Apple for wearables, there should be, or soon, a Microsoft for wearables.

Just a thought, would love any point for/against.

Loving the rise of JS algs. Keep it up!

Dear, Larry Ellison...

Sounds like the SIMs. Pretty cool!

The problem of sorting through large amounts of information within an organization or thread is one I deal with in both personal and professional life. This would be a major help!

also email: pebilepsy@gmail.com

Great feedback!

Very good point. More long term. Really this is facilitating better communication and tracking between patient and health care professional

Thanks for the feedback! Would love to hear of anything else you'd find valuable. What do you want/need? IYO

Very good point. Updates soon :)

We are investigating other devices that may be integrated. So stay tuned. Sign up for the beta and we can keep you updated!

The story below really helps this amazing point.

Thank you for sharing that. It's very hard having someone you love and feeling powerless to help them at some moments. Sharing this really meant alot :) thank you

We were thinking about that.

Would you see anything else of value?

For the time being, grand mal will be the only one.

But we will update soon that might help! (another hardware platform wants to contribute)

Changed the wording. So it explicitly stated a user would use the data vs us recommending
