Old broken and/or partially working watchfaces and app in the rebble store

General Discussion

Where is discussion taking place about old apps/faces that either are completly broken or partially working (e.g. mostly working but broken config)?

Is this a good place or is it all in Discord?

I’m guessing the idea of autoscanning PBW’s for URLs and then testing them to see if any are still live as an automated first sanity check has already been discussed somewhere?

There is already an effort on scanning the urls underway! At the same time I’m preparing a more manual way to review old apps and will probably have something ready soon. The plan is to mostly fix up the broken things and not remove them, to hopefully retain as much of the store’s content with its current variety

Great!

I have a github fork or one of the config page archives, which I’ve published to GitHub Pages. I also fixed at least one on there (Creepy).

In case it’s useful. I’m a new poster so can’t post any more URLs

Unless I can post a 2nd reply with a diffferent URL Creepy 5624ee14e7a714f70a000040.pbw config URL update · clach04/PebbleArchive@2c3678e · GitHub

Moin. I autoscanned ~all (well, most, need to replace the JS engine with pypkjs at some point) PBWs for URLs and indeed got a list of which ones are up and down.

I also then patched the ones that are on roman-port/pebble-app-config-page-backup, with this version on github pages, with some filtering to cut out the ones that weren’t actually config pages at the time of archival (parked domains etc): GitHub - aveao/Pebble-App-Config-Page-Backup: An archive of all of the Pebble app configuration pages available as of 1-28-2019. Take a look at output.json for more info.

That was good enough to patch ~170(?) apps, and there’s a spreadsheet on discord for testing them, IIRC most are working. These are currently on the store.

Testing if any are on archive.org would be worthwhile too, but they understandably have rather cautious limits for scraping-shaped behavior and automatically testing ~600 URLs didn’t go well, I need to chat them up and see if there’s a way of doing it that won’t get my IP automatically blocked. I’d be happy to publish the code and the current lists somewhere at some point if it’d help.
