Thanks for writing this out. It’s really baffling that they still do not support local app development. This thread goes back to 2020: https://discuss.tidbyt.com/t/pixlet-push-doesnt-install-user-created-app/74
The whole point of this device is the DIY aspect. I know some people are just happy with the pre-available apps – and they’re great – but it’s marketed specifically to people who want to write apps.
I guess they have no plans of ever supporting local apps? How dissapointing.
