Allow users to hack/program new features

Fitbit programmers will never be able to code all the good ideas that we have on here. My suggestion is that you open up all the features the Fitbit has and allow users to do anything they want with them through the app. That way the Fitbit will be able to do anything that it is physically capable of, rather than only being able to do what the Fitbit programmers have time to impliment. (Fitbit programmers have done a great job so far, but they are finite, so their output is necessarily also limited, compared to the potential!)

Hi @brentonbrenton thanks for your suggestion and passion around improving fitbit! We believe this is possible through our newly accessible SDK and existing API, both of which you can learn more about here: https://dev.fitbit.com/. We've also launched a new SDK community where you can ask questions, here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/bd-p/sdk. Thanks
