CloudPebble vs. Native Pebble SDK

i'm considering starting pebble development but i'm confused on the pebble website(https://developer.getpebble.com) they advertise for Cloud Pebble but they also recommend installing it through command line on a computer. Whats the difference? Are there advantages and disadvantages?

Solution

  • Both allow you to do the same things. Each has some advantages and limitations. They are both fully supported by Pebble (Pebble recently hired @katharine who wrote CloudPebble).

    CloudPebble

    • You do not need to install anything on your computer
    • It works on any platform with a browser (Windows/Mac/Linux, iPad, etc)

    Download SDK

    • You get to use your own text editor
    • You can work offline
    • You can customize the build process if you need to (through the wscript build file for waf)
    • Only works on Linux and Mac
