This just hit Kickstarter and it's already at $300k+ in funding. I bet it hits is $1m goal before 8am PT.
The watch is more fitness-focused but I'm more curious about the Core a internet-connected, "hackable computer on your keychain". Some use cases: track your pet, open your garage, call an Uber, record voice notes.
Any plans to integrate Alexa or Google Assistant to make the Core essentially an assistant you can talk to, @ericmigi?
Man, these things keep getting better.
I still recall seeing an early model at Old Pro; I have to remind myself that a small, yet formidable team are mostly up against multi-$B hardware companies. Excited to see the lightweight OS continue to get improved and be an alternative in market. Go Eric & Team Go!
The last time they launched a Kickstarter I made this little website to graph how much money they've raised in real-time. I just updated it to this new Kickstarter: http://pebbletimetracker.herokua...
Just the last few minutes:
@jkupferman - Nice! I love to watch the Kickstarter pages of super active campaigns like this! It is incredible. I watched the card game Exploding Kittens when they were live, but this is a whole new level! Also, wanted to hunt your site but discovered it was already on PH https://www.producthunt.com/tech... !
The funding this campaign is getting is incredible. They are already at $3m. Just watching the demo video on the Kickstarter page, I can see the amount incrementing almost $1000 every couple of seconds.
I would love to see a breakdown analysis of their first and second campaign. Especially on what were the key components to their crowdfunding success.
This is really great and love to see this. :) I was one of the original backers when it first launched on kickstarter and have a question about fulfillment. What have you learned from previous launches that will ensure you can keep your promise on this delivery date?
"Core streams music from Spotify* and syncs GPS data with Runkeeper*, Strava* and Under Armour Record*. " Wow, that alone is a great feature. Wasn't there a kickstarter hunted recently focused on building a Spotify-only-device? This can't be good news for them.
