Ask HN: Easiest Smartwatch Platform to Develop For?

3 points

5 years ago

I want to make simple apps for myself: 1. On my computer, I use a program called human (https://github.com/dnsosebee/human). It's pretty simple: you make scripts for yourself, where when you run them you get 1 line of instruction at a time. For example, an exercise script might be: get yoga mat and phone go outside with yoga mat and lay it down use fitness app on phone for exercise routine

while this one might seem simple, have some routines (especially my night routine) codified makes them both easier to actually run alongside being easier to improve over time. I'd like to be able to run these programs on a smartwatch instead of only on my laptop (since it's much more convenient that waywhile outside)

2. I want to be able to quickly log issues/mistakes during the day. What I have in mind is something like: [trigger voice assistant] record mistake [details of mistake] and then have it add that to a list I can review at the end of the day. or to have an app I can open and tap to trigger something similar.

I think this might rule out android wear since apparently you can't run custom commands.

What do you guys think? Any recommendations?
