πŸ†•πŸ†• blog! β€œTheatre Review: Storehouse - Truth Lies Here”
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†

An abandoned warehouse in Deptford hosts one of the most audacious, ostentatious, and sumptuous shows I've ever attended. An immersive theatrical experience which is lush with texture, ambitious in scope, and yet - somehow - slightly less than the sum of its parts.

The pre-show is exemplary. You're handed a lanyard …

A first attempt at listing my various OSS contributions. Bit of a manual process, but nice to see it all come together.

Nice! Even without modification, #GadgetBridge can read this sub-Β£20 smartwatch's data.
Gets sleep, steps, and heart rate without issue. Seems pretty accurate - picked up my exercising just now.
Few missing bits like notifications (which I'll try to diagnose today) and some of the more esoteric settings.

A question for you all -no wrong answers!

I want to put a page on my blog which lists all my Open Source contributions.

Sort of like a reverse colophon. Not quite a CV, but perhaps just a little bit of bragging.

Do you think this is a good idea? If so - what should I call the title of the page?

Oh, and even if you can't do deep coding - you can always improve the documentation.

Open source is about helping others in

Holy shit! It worked 😁😁
I used
#GadgetBridge nightly, I turned on the debug stuff, and added the unsupported P80 as the V89.

And it looks like most of the stuff works. I can track battery, change watch face, measure heart rate, see steps etc!

The journey of a thousand miles starts with opening an issue.

If you've ever set up a new device on
#GadgetBridge - I'll take any and all advice πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
