One obvious app I tried to build here is a calendar with a daily message and I've tried to include a little graphic emoji with each day. You can't do that because you can only fit around 100 emoji graphics and the font on Pebble Time 2 only has 50 emojis. So at best you can get 150 icons which is not enough for unique icon for each day. This is kinda sad in 2026 ngl.


If the trade off is excellent battery life (low hardware capability) vs emojis, most people are going to pick the battery life.


Should be doable with the vector graphics system they have, or compressed images depending on the size of the images used.

Point me to your project on GH or wherever if you want me to have a look, I've optimised a lot of code in this life.
