Pebble, the e-ink smartwatch with a tumultuous history, is making a move sure to please the DIY enthusiasts that make up the bulk of its fans: Its entire software stack is now fully open source, and key hardware design files are available too.

Pebble creator Eric Migicovsky announced the move on Monday in a blog post and video detailing the changes his reborn Pebble watchmaking firm has undertaken, and they're considerable.

It's the best worst case and there is still room for rebbel to find meaningful support. I'm just sad it happened your way. I wish Eric could have been more patient, and I wish rebbel could have been faster to react. All the personal stuff and respect issues are just a bummer all around.
