iirc it started as an art project, to design a hypothetical product, and a lot of people thought it was a really good idea and passed it around

The Management posted:seriously. everyone who knows anything said this was a terrible idea and it was still funded for years. every paragraph is a treasure quote:"When this goes to market, this will be the most custom, mass-market product ever created by mankind," Eremenko argues. The closest thing to that level of customization is "maybe Chipotle burritos," he jokes. But the key problem is that when it comes to building out an Ara phone, people will "have to make a huge number of choices that are quite difficult to make, both aesthetic and functional."

What was the major technical obstacle to the idea? Even if it weren't technically hard, the idea is a little dumb in that people don't really care about customizing the functionality of their cell phones.
