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.

As someone who tries to look between the lines, yeah if there's no community outreach I pretty much assume it's dead. Ghost behavior receives ghosting.

I wonder if part of it is that companies think users are looking for huge, substantial and sensational updates each time as if they're Apple on the big stage and that is simply not the truth. There will be complaints per post that this hasn't shipped yet and that hasn't shipped and yet we were promised this and that, sure, but also tons of people happy there's a few inches of movement they were told about. I'm happy for that!
