I've read practically all the articles and guidelines before writing my code (I knew that part shouldn't be big) to make sure that I don't miss out on any system limitations and I found that it was useful. Though I wouldn't say that docs are perfectly structured, I could find almost all the information I needed there. Writing JS every day at work, it took me very little time to get started. I believe it's a huge advantage of the platform, the entry level into eco-system can be pretty low. 👍 JavaScript for everything (+ CSS, SVG, some JSX) I won't be describing how to make apps for Fitbit but will go through the pros and cons of the process from my (subjective, of course) point of view.

You log in with your Fitbit account (the same you would use to log in to Fitbit app) and create a project: an app or a clock face. It's an online IDE and the only option at the moment to create apps for Fitbit OS. Also, parking signs on my street forbid parking on some days on odd/even week numbers, so knowing current week number is a vital thing in Sweden! I decided to write a small but proper app for that and go a full cycle with it up to publishing to the Fitbit App Gallery.Īll your Fitbit apps take a start in Fitbit Studio. So I was really glad when I got it for free! The goal of the meetup was to promote the Fitbit platform among developers and I decided to give it a try and make an app.Īs an expat in Sweden, I often see how people use week numbers as a way to describe time (super confusing at first). It has all basic functions, wireless payments and a possibility to run 3rd-party apps. Actually, I was looking at it around Christmas time and thought that it could be a nice option for a fitness band to buy. In June I happened to visit a Fitbit Developers meetup in Stockholm and won a free Fitbit Ionic band.
