@as_austin if we had a national ad campaign, I'd find some way to work this in. 😂
@as_austin I feel like the only reason you posted a comment was to be able to post a video. It was worth it.
SHUT UP and take my money!!! $$$ This is so cool...can it also measure the temperature inside the house?
@stefamini Hey Stefanie!! At first, I wasn't sure if I should shut up, or answer ;) but yes; if you have a temperature sensor in your house that talks to IFTTT, then you certainly could configure SeeNote to display that data.
WOW! Just wow!! I really love it! I just had to pause the video to come back here and tell you all how much i love it! Beautifully designed and simple to "get". Well done. Can't wait to have one in my house!
@themelamini Thank you, Melanie!! Your comment really does mean a lot to us. :)
I love this. I would personally use this more for home automation than for the "sticky notes". Replacing old ipads/tablets/phone that are currently used as controllers with this small device would be awesome.
I see there's wink and IFTTT integration but any plans to integrate with SmartThings?
@xcast3d Great question! Right now SmartThings integration will be limited to what is possible through IFTTT. If enough interest is expressed we will look into including SmartThings integration on our roadmap.
Do you have an actual working prototype? I noticed the screens and UI interactions in the video were added later in post production.
@stephenmarklevi yes! we do have a working prototype; it's not as pretty as the one in the video but it works! (It's based off of existing android-based e-reader hardware)
Looks cool but unsure about how useful it will be compared to traditional sticky notes. You can't use this one roughly and freely the way you can with the traditional one. but, indeed a great product! Good luck, guys! :)
@palakzatakia Palak, there's definitely a few sticky note use-cases this doesn't replace. But we're working on making it better and better :) Thanks for your support!!
@dannyfiorentini I love this. And I think we're up for that UX challenge!! Thank you for your support, Danny.
Hey Everyone! The team and I have been looking forward to this day for some time now. There are a lot of things being connected to the internet, some more useful than others. Tweeting toasters, fridges that take pictures of your food. With SeeNote, we wanted to make something that was truly helpful, day in and day out.
Something to solve daily problems:
~ Leaving home without an umbrella
~ Forgetting lunch in the fridge
~ Darting out the door only to sit in delays at the platform or in the car
~ Missing an important note because it’s buried in notifications
~ Fumbling with a smartphone for access to smart home controls
We found ourselves already using traditional sticky notes to solve some of these problems. Invented nearly 40 years ago, the sticky note is a proven tool. With SeeNote, we feel we've taken the utility of that tool a step further, by making it digital and dynamic. We hope you love it as much as we do!
@bleistern Great looking execution of a very needed solution for many people. Keep up the innovation.
This is the promise of the next wave of designed experiences, where our world is augmented by computing, rather than needing a computer on your person or from a tablet/computer.
@tarungangwani Yes! We like to say that Mark Wieser from Xerox PARC had it right: Calm computing is here!
So the inside joke in my family is, my Dad uses 4,000 sticky notes on his desk everyday. To the point where we constantly spoof him with a "Buy more sticky notes" sticky note. He refuses to use his iPhone notes or anything else - it's hilarious.
I'm going to order this for him just to see if he can make it through the iPhone setup without yelling at it. That will be the ultimate test!
Interesting approach! While 'invisible interfaces' like the Echo are finding a place in the home, there's something to be said for having a visual reminder. Like others have said, I'm super bummed about the 'pre-order'.. a lot can happen in a year!
@afhill we hope you'll stick with us, Andrea! Sorry about the pun. Couldn't resist.
I am in love with this product. My wife lives and dies by sticky notes. This just needs to be integrated with Amazon Echo so leaving reminders will be simple for my kids that dont have smart phones.
@andrewjb44 thanks Andrew!! Means a lot to us that you're so excited about SeeNote 😄 Echo support is on our roadmap, so rest assured!
This looks cool, I've been looking for something to make a "smart" bathroom mirror. But its a little too far out for me to pre-order. I'll have to remember about this further down the line.
@ejameswill thanks Erwin! Feel free to sign up for updates on our page. We keep them infrequent (one every few weeks) so you can keep informed andkeep up with your inbox!
It takes a bit too long for the production, I know maybe because you want the final product to be perfect, but I'm afraid there will be hell a lot of copycats in China within 3 months.
Just my 2cp
@clementtang we'll just have to make sure ours is the best software experience available! I have no doubts that competitors will copy... but if we can keep nailing the software, we might just be able to stay ahead :)
@bleistern agree, it's always hard to decide whether quality or fast PMF. Anyways, keep up the good work!
@jonprice Jon, we think you'll love the KnowGlow™ LED feature for this very reason — it gets your attention subtly, without being obnoxious. In person, it's really gorgeous.
I feel there was a missed opportunity to say "Get a SeeNote for C-note if you pre-order". I'm offering this pun to you free of charge to re-use at your leisure.
I appreciate the concept here, it seems like a great antidote to the idea of smart appliances or hubs... which to me always seemed superfluous to the idea of a few upgradeable devices. The SeeNote is to a "smart" appliance what a Roku is to a "smart" TV.
@johannbenedikt Thanks for the freebie, Jóhann. We thought about it, but decided to let the reader see the pun on his/her own. Happy to hear you appreciate SeeNote and its place in this growing, connected world of devices!
@bleistern kudos for being "brave" enough to live without Kickstarter in 2016.
I hope the open API allows direct-to-device communication. My sad Little Printer sits on a shelf, without BERG to keep it running, and makes me loathe to invest in more devices that depend on cloud services beyond what's necessary.
@gerwitz @bleistern Hi Hans! At launch all communications will be handled through the cloud. I wouldn't rule out direct to device communications just yet though, definitely something we'll look into!
@bleistern I really loved the concept here - is this project still live? I see the main website is no longer resolving?
@guilliatt Hey Dan! Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you here. We unfortunately failed to raise the the money we needed to make SeeNote a reality at scale. We sold a lot of pre-orders, but with no investors, we ultimately ran out of time and resources. We then had to refund the pre-orders. We then pivoted to a product called Hynt, which would have required a far less complicated supply chain. Alas, market demand for Hynt wasn't what it was for SeeNote. We're now back in research mode, and we hope to bring to our next product what we learned from SeeNote. We're one step closer to success. Re-reading all these amazing comments, I know we can get there if we keep learning. Onward!
The video to me looks like a rendering @bleistern can you confirm that you have a functioning prototype?
@tsheeeep yes! I can confirm that we have a working prototype which is based off of existing Android ereader hardware, with totally custom software.We will be posting some interesting things on social in the next few days, showing the development process 😄
Seeing as I currently have 11 sticky notes on my desk at the moment, I don't think this would quite fill that gap, but after watching the video I'm intrigued. I'm not in the space to preorder, but I'm interested to see what happens when it comes out.
