Kable will be multiplatform and supersede Able, providing a more powerful yet simpler API.

This looks awesome! Any thoughts on when Kable will be stable and released?

This looks awesome!

Thanks!

It's getting really close, some remaining tasks:

...then it should be ready for a 0.1.0 release. I'd estimate another week or two. 🤞

The API probably won't be "stable" for a while (i.e. subject to change based on community feedback) but we've done a lot of work to keep the API simple, so hopefully it won't need to change too much. As for being stable from a reliability perspective, we've done a fair amount of testing using https://github.com/JuulLabs/sensortag sample app, so it should be ready for use (maybe not quite production worthy yet, as it hasn't been used a ton, yet). We'll be integrating Kable into our apps soon though, where it will get a lot more use/testing.

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to it! I hacked in a simple peripheral using Able this morning, it's working like a dream. I spent all day yesterday making sense of the Android BLE libraries (I'm not an Android dev, I just play one on TV) and the callbacks were just brutal. Glad I started there so I can appreciate what you've done here. Thanks for all your hard work!

Glad to hear!

Ya, BLE in general is complex, then Android's BLE framework didn't help matters at all. Making Able was a huge learning experience for us. I'm hoping Kable makes BLE very approachable even for people new to BLE.

Haha! 😄

Thanks for all your hard work!

You're very welcome, always awesome to hear others finding it useful.
