yes, we're a real company with real income and real money and kickstarter was just about building press and buzz.

it actually really helped. we're able to get into some pretty major deals and areas now simply because google and the press are on our side

the product had actually been shipping for a good few months, we just put in a few extra touches for the ks release and lined shipment up with a major prod run & os upgrade

good on you for making a real thing and then selling that thing effectively 👍

Unless I'm missing something that seems like it would orders of magnitude away from working. like for a human to breath comfortably you need to provide like 5L of air at the appropriate pressure per breath.

Haha yeah the oxygen content of water is on the order of milligrams of O2 per litre of water.

yeah apparently this groundbreaking scientific and technological discovery that will eventually allow human beings to breathe underwater indefinitely without the use of expensive and bulky equipment just needs crowdfunding to get off the ground

i goog'd a bit and read a science breakdown on a scuba board, you need like firehose outputs of water going through this device to get the O2 for even resting rate breathing

i did feel bad writing that because i remembered the local indie bookstore with the nice cats that tried to indiegogo their heating bills, on flex funding. that made sense, compared to flex funding a hardware startup

but not as much sense as just posting a fuckin paypal link

there's absolutely no reason for something that's going to be made in a factory to be on IndieGoGo rather than Kickstarter, unless they're a scam

There have been remote / automated lawnmowers for a while so
not a big deal if you follow the same procedure you should be following whenever you're doing something to a room / space that can harm a child or pet.

most of the ONE WEIRD TRICK videos are like this - they show you an INCREDIBLY long video and refuse to get to the point with really long winded stories. apparently investing that much time in something means that you are much more likely to make a purchase at the end or something
