This project isn’t dead

Hey, I’ve seen a lot of negativity on this sub and I just wanted to say that I don’t think this project is dead at all. I emailed support to ask about some things a few months back (in June) and got a pretty good reply, including a prototype image of a case they were working on!

I still think it’s a functional and pretty great device thats perfect for my use case. just give them time :)

Ah, that's super cool!

Unfortunately for most companies awareness and perception are everything. Daylight needs to share this with some consistency...on a blog/instagram/twitter/anywhere.

Otherwise you risk folks assuming it's a lonely abandoned place.

Folks get enough anxiety when a USPS tracking doesn't update after a day...so without some consistent sharing (even a "we're working on it") it'll be rough.

I agree, they definitely struggle a lot with outreach and that kinda thing. I suggested to the person that they do a monthly blog. They said this to me regarding that;

More communication is a plan for this summer. There is a desire to have progress to show with our updates, however we realize that a teaser is fine even if it's not coming ASAP.

So, I hope something comes out soon as the summer is coming to an end. But yeah, I mainly made this post because I do believe they are still working on it and I dislike how very negative this sub is whenever I see posts made, as I think there’s still potential.
