I’ve thought of this of many times! But you’re missing the most important part: every reform should be a PR. With discussions and all. That would be the purest form of voting. And all decisions to reach the current state of a law would ve registered and available for everyone to read. Democracy 2.0.

Dreaming costs nothing.

Thanks for the feedback, and the story :) I added some screenshots to the GitHub repo, but now that you mention it I could do it in the website too.

Here's a project I've been working on lately. Hope you like it!

I came to say exactly this. I could not have stated it better. As a Pebble power user back in the day, who owns 3 watches and pledged in the Kickstarter to get the new Pebble that sadly never saw the light of day, the only way I'm coming back is if every piece of this puzzle is open source. And by this I mean:

- Servers: I agree with you. Make a default "cloud" owned by Pebble, but give us the ability to self-host it. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO ADS, NO PRIVACY INVASION, PLEASE.

- PebbleOS: This is already a reality, and I'm very happy that it's happening.

- Mobile apps: Make them open-source! Let us play with them and you'll benefit of the fixes, improvements and innovation of the community.

- Hardware: It would be fine for me if the hardware was not open. As long as I can install my own firmware on it and have full control of it, I'm happy.

I think I speak for most of us when I say that I'm sick and tired of not owning my stuff. In the dystopic world we're living in, with enshittification at it's peak, an open, hackable, and truly owned device would feel like a breath of fresh air.

You have a real opportunity here, Eric. Please use it :) Best of luck!

That would be absolutely great.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! The `send` command is able to send any of the valid commands, but the library also allows you to do `recorder.rec()` and `recorder.stop()`.

Passing the time as an argument is a good idea! I'll take it into account.

Thanks! Sorry for the delay in the reply.

I'm not sure if it will work in other recorders. I wrote them an email asking if the remote is compatible with various models. I'll post their answer in the GitHub repo (https://github.com/mattogodoy/h6/issues/1) as soon as they write back.

I guess you might find this useful. It's a Python3 library to emulate the remote control for a Zoom H6 recorder from your computer. You can use it directly from the terminal, or import it in your Python scripts.

I created it because I was looking for a way to automate some steps in my podcast, and starting or stopping the recording was one of them. This led to a big rabbit hole to understand and emulate the commands sent by the real remote to the recorder. All the digging has finally paid up and the code works!

I hope you find this useful. Pull requests are also welcome.

I'd love to know what you'll be using it for :)
