Lightning talk from Ian Savchenko
summary
A tiny smartwatch app is built in JavaScript that shows the current week-number clockface and a countdown to Friday evening, published to the Fitbit store and running for real users. Development uses web tech (JS, CSS, SVG, JSX), Fitbit Studio for quick edits and the new Fitbit Studio CLI to run linters and unit tests locally. The biggest surprise is the eight hours spent on the app icon; the platform proves stable, APIs are richer than expected, and deployment actually works.
