Provide mobile-friendly rendition of the "compile" pane for users with unusual network topology about cloudpebble HOT 6 OPEN

Also note that this still won't work if the phone is on a mobile network instead of a wireless network. It would be nice if the Pebble app could still listen to localhost when there was no network connection, but doing that without causing (even more) user confusion would require some UI work.

That is a pretty awesome idea. The only sucky thing is that the developer connection will die after a few minutes if the iOS app is not in the foreground. We have not found a way around that yet.

@sarfata Worst case, I can hack around it by asking you to switch to the Pebble app if it fails – when we're routing through local loopback the set of failure modes is fairly tiny.

@Katharine - possible solution would be to send a push message to wake up the Pebble app on the device (and/or remind the user to foreground it) if the issue is that the iOS app is not currently foregrounded but needs to me

@KeanWong If we can actually do that, it'd be great! Even if this doesn't actually bring the app back to life, it'd be a handy UX improvement.

I think actually getting a push from a CloudPebble project to the correct user's phone app would require some other integration work first, though.

Yeah. This reminded me that it would be great to have Pebble-SSO support: #26
