I tinker, therefore I am...

Hello PineTime!

It’s been months since I ordered myself a smartwatch made by Pine64.
I was slowly testing available firmwares, learning about the hardware, but never really made any progress on customizing it beyond replacing the factory strap with a generic magnetic one.

Magnetic strap for pinetime

InfiniTime has quickly become my daily firmware but I could see room for improvement, specifically for my type of activities. My first idea was to create a Pomodor Timer for my PineTime.

Today I finally managed to understand how the apps are built into the firmware and made the following progress:

  • added new app to the apps list
  • added a new fontawesome glyph to the build
  • how to build & run InfiniSim

Next I will be trying to understand how to actually measure time in the new app.
