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

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

Ask HN: Should I Use Heroku, Digital Ocean or Modulus.io for MEAN Stack?

Recently given 3 servos from Modulus (equiv to dynos on Heroku) and began wondering if I should move my operation. Heroku has been good, and has yet to cost me serious $$. Its dead simple to use and the "revert" button has saved my a$$ more than I can count. However, Modulus specializes in node/mongo, and the servos are a nice touch.I also have a credit from Digital Ocean, but it seems you can...

Re:Who Cares about the Apple Watch Edition? on Sunday March 08, 2015 @05:27PM (#9167348)
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.
