@kristofertm we always wanted to make sure you keep one hand free :)) (By the way this one based on a real story :) ) Hope you will support us on Friday, and once you get your opener you will share with us your experience ;)

@kristofertm this too – amazing PS skills right here I highly encourage the team behind this product to consider removing wifi functionality. This product could be sold in stores globally, but adding the tech complicates things. Listen to the people!

@jabrueckner @kristofertm Thank you so much for liking our design!!! we promise we having both options and will make it great with or without WiFi :) ... just for now give us a chance with a bit of out of the BOx thinking and let us share with you on our Kickstarter Campaign some fun and our passion for this project ;)

So I dont want to sound too negative because I love a drink... Why have you made a bottle opener smart? I just am not sure there is a need for it to be connected to the internet and need a battery etc. One handed opening looks cool enough, you could've just made the whole thing have that draw. Im just struggling to figure out why I'd need a wifi connected bottle opener. The problem: my drink is closed and I want to drink it A bottle opener is just a tool to enable me to consume. Its not something people tend to care a lot about or want it to do more (in my opinion). I often open bottles with other bottles/lighters/keys - simples

@bentossell Hey Ben thanks a lot for your comment. What we wanted to create was just a new sharing experience for people while enjoying their beer. Instead of running to pick up their phone and start chatting about it... For us it was not really about the wifi board. We are just 3 good friends that always enjoyed a beer together, with traveling and work we end up most of the time having it alone, and then texting on messenger to each other about that moment.... This is how we came up with the idea about sharing while opening so need to use the phone. But we didnt want just to do a "sharing opener", as you said the first function of the opener is to open a bottle, this is why we wanted to design what we think could be the smoothest way of opening a bottle so we redesigned it as it is with one hand only, carving it from solid wood. This is our intention it might seem abit crazy :) but if you like the design i hope you could support for this on kickstarter will have an option without the board too ;)

@choukarim hmm honestly I'm not too familiar with the situation of opening a beer, picking up my phone and start chatting about it either ;) I think its a cool bottle opener without all the wifi fluff
Karim Choueiri
@bentossell really happy you like the design ! And promise it opens the beer just fine even without the wifi option :)) hope we get your support this friday ;)
Ben Tossell
@choukarim I'd be more than happy to receive a non-tech version in the post ;)

Just when you think they thought of it all... Hahahaha This is actually a really awesome simple product. I love tweeting and bragging to my buddies every time I open my next Corona on the beach :) Cheers! -Matt

Hello.. Very cool product.. I'm sure your one hand UX design is optimal.. I have one idea I would like to share with you.. What if your online interface "Timed" the duration of one beer opening to the next.. To give user's statistics on their drinking habits.. Also this feature could tally how many beers the user consumes in the night.. Thanks for inspiring me with your great product! Cheers!

Its designed to be the smartest bottle opener. We designed so its feel great when you open your beer. We wanted to make it smart both in the design and with the iOT. So we designed it to work with only one hand, and we fited it with a wifi board. When you open a bottle it will automatically share a "smart Cheers" with your selected friends only .(Its about keeping sharing personal not public). We wanted to make it really beautiful too this is why we hand carved it from solid wood and cased with polished steel
