In our post on JavaScript Tips and Tricks we strongly recommended the use of JSLint or JSHint to help you detect JavaScript problems at compile time.

We believe JSHint can really increase the quality of your code and we will probably enforce JSHint correct-ness for all the apps on the appstore very soon. In this post we show you how to setup jshint and integrate it in your Pebble development process.

We've had a pretty awesome start to 2014 and we couldn't have done it without you! First, we kicked off the year by sponsoring the wildly successful AT&T Developer Summit hackathon, which was followed shortly after by our announcement of the new Pebble Steel during CES. In addition, we announced that 2.0 will be publicly released along with the Pebble appstore at the end of January. Here's a sneak peek of what the appstore will look like.

I love working on the plane. It is one of those rare place where I can spend 8 hours coding without being disturbed by emails, phone, etc. Here are a few tips to write Pebble apps in the air.

Dear Developers,

Have you submitted your apps to the Pebble appstore?

Eric announced this morning at CES that the appstore will be officially released in late January. The 2.0 BETA period is coming to an end; users will soon get their hands on the amazing apps you have created.

Eric also announced a brand new Pebble: Pebble Steel. We have a few to give away to the developer community. Keep reading for more information!

Busy times for the Pebble elves! Beta3 last week, the app store announcement on wednesday and now a new BETA! Pebble SDK BETA4 is available on our website now. Existing iOS developers will receive an email with a link to install it; if you are not on that list yet, please fill the form to request it.

PebbleKit JavaScript is one of the most popular additions in Pebble SDK 2.0. We are already seeing lots of amazing apps being built that take advantage of http requests, configuration UI, GPS and local storage on the phone.

Here are some Tips & Tricks to get the most out of JavaScript in your Pebble apps.

We are extremely excited to announce the Pebble appstore! Many of you, as developers, have asked for it and we are happy to announce that it will go live with Pebble SDK 2.0 early next year.

Pebble appstore will be included in the official Pebble smartphone application and will be the first place where Pebble users look for Pebble apps. For developers, the Pebble appstore is the best way to promote and distribute your Pebble applications to users.

Hi Pebblers!

We're really looking forward to our next open lab that we're hosting at Pebble HQ this Friday. If you haven't had a chance yet to join an open lab (in-person) or a virtual lab (online), this is your chance! This is a great opportunity for you to hack on your latest projects and receive help from our developer evangelists, Thomas and Cherie.
