It’s very well-documented. Claude thrives on this.

The author could thrive on this too.

It has a great simulator (InfiniSim). That gives Claude a fast feedback loop on your computer.

That gives the author a fast feedback loop too.

It took about 10 minutes to transfer the 240x240 image over bluetooth to install it on the device, and it takes 1-2 seconds to refresh the whole screen when you swipe. The watch can’t hold this whole image in memory at once; it has to stream it from the file system. But that’s totally fine for a watch face I built in a couple hours!

I would argue that it isn't.

I really have to wonder what satisfaction the author got from this project. They only spent two hours on it, left it in a broken state, and didn't do any of the work.

Not sure I'd really call that hacking, when the watch is purposes-built for this. It's like saying "I broke into my house by copying my key, then using that key to unlock the door".

And, it's "totally fine" for it to take 2 seconds to swipe? What are you on about??
