I've started working on a new branch that will support the new "unlimited"* method to install programs: https://github.com/javispedro/pebble .

*In the new "unlimited" method from 3.x firmware upwards, there's no longer any 8 slot limit, and you can "install" as many programs as you want. However, the watch actually only installs the program when you try to run it, so you need to have the phone paired to use it (same on Android, too). Fortunately, there's some cache that holds the few last recently used watch programs.

I've only fixed the "on demand" program uploading part; i.e. no more stuck progress bars when trying to run a program on the watch. However, the fake-installing part does not yet work, you need to first install the programs from Android and then copy .pbw files into ~/.local/share/pebbled . Maybe in the future programs can be pull dynamically from the store by UUID.

Note that it seems that that there's no documented way to change the order of the programs in the menu, yet the Android app does it.

Also, I'll try to improve notification support using libwatchfish. And maybe put future calendar events on the timeline. However, the rest of the "timeline" is too spyware and Android/iOS-centric, so no.
