For example, using it sleep tracking, or for waking you via vibration (as not to disturb your partner)

Yes, the pebble is great for that.

Wouldn't it just be able to detect that if you plug it in at night?

It's not an increase in obscurity though: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/TextFormat...

The format is intentionally being built in a way that you can look at the source, in the same way you would look at minified Javascript currently.

If you're worried about obscurity, look at what is generated by asm.js. WebAssembly won't be any worse than that (and is, in fact, more or less a more efficient/correct equivalent to asm.js).

Nobody else has been able to reproduce it, and you haven't given enough information on what you're doing or what you've tried. Have you tried different machines? Different browsers? Have you tried pressing the various buttons in the UI? What kind of machine do you have? Do you have a very small amount of RAM? Et cetera.

You might say your browser works fine, but I'd put my money on something there being the issue.

The site is perfectly usable. More than usable, even, because I get RES-style zooming for free, amongst other things.

You can right-click save normally already - just right-click and save. If you want the browser zoom tools, hit the "View in Browser" button or right-click and open in new tab
