Can you elaborate what this is? Posted at 2024-02-06 by @andresdju I only use the Bangle.js 2 for running or hiking. I don't like to wear a watch, specially at night, so I don't track my sleep. For step counting, I do enough training that the rest of my walking activity doesn't count much. I don't think that the support of the notifications is good enough to overtake my dislike of wearing the watch.

This: https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=espruinoprog Apart from stuff for work, an example might be I was doing a 'Batak' game for a kids party, and I had 10 Puck.js Lite to program with the same code - so I use that app, paste in the code, and then every time I boot up a Puck.js the app sees it, programs it, and lights an LED on it to show me it's been programmed. It saves a lot of work if you've got a bunch of devices to program. We also have an app we use when getting Bangles ready for shipping which connects to them when they appear on Bluetooth, checks the firmware is in correctly and runs some code which tests all the internals. It just runs on a totally standard Bangle.

Worked also w/ a Puck and w/ Pixle. I see more creativity w/ a device w/ no display or limited display feature, like the Puck with the 3 color LEDs.

Hi, I'm curious as to how people use their Bangle.js device. I've seen the various tutorials and browsed the app loader - but how are you using all of this in your day-to-day? I understand the answer for some may be that you're part of building the project / developing apps, etc.
I'm just an "ordinary user" and have to date not contributed anything except buying it. I got mine over a year ago and this is how I've ended up using it:
sometimes to use a watch for this as picking up a phone for any
reason in a meeting can be seen as being distracted)
I'm curious about your uses!
