According to the entrepreneur, the essence of Pebble is several points. Smart hours should be unusual and funny, and feel like a gadget in an important sense. The new clock will display notifications, allow you to manage music using buttons, have long autonomy and “do not try to do too much.”

Migikovsky decided not to repeat past mistakes and will now own the new company single -handedly, without occupying the money from investors who can use their power and change the company at their discretion. Migikovsky earned a lot of money on the sale of Automattic for his startup last year, the developer of the Beeper messages, as well as being an investor in Y Combinator, and they will be enough to launch a new project.

The new company will have a different name, as Google owns the Pebble brand. Now several employees engaged in a part -time working day are working with Migikovsky. They post a waiting sheet and a subscription to news on the Repebable website. As soon as the company has a name and access to everything on Pebble, it will begin the supply of new wearable devices that will look, feel and work as the previous pebble.

Since Pebble ceased to exist, much has changed. Google, Apple, and Samsung are leading in the smart watch market, offering wearable devices that are closely related to other gadgets of their ecosystem. But, according to Migikovsky, since the appearance of Pebble has not been anything like Pebble. “Of the opportunities that I want from the gadget, for example, a good screen based on electronic paper, a long time from the battery, good and simple user experience, the impossibility of hacking, there is simply nothing,” he says. The entrepreneur considers proof of the reality of his plans that he is still using the Pebble watch.

Migikovsky also plans to become part of a wider community of developers with Pebble OS open source code. Everything created by the company will be open source.
