Future 100k Project?

[Ryan Patterson]

I have launched a Kickstarter campaign. If this is funded I will be looking at using 100kGarages to help produce the product. Here is a link to the campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097731368/myhue. I can use your help spreading the word.
Thank you

Nice product Ryan…
My hearing challenged friends will be directed to your campaign!
I wasn’t able to tell… is it Bluetooth?
Any plans for a future iPhone version?

It is Bluetooth. I do not know much about IOS coding. All the backers will get the source code for the Android and Arduino. Maybe someone will create an IOS version.

I find it useful in the Shop when there is too much noise to hear the phone.

Very cool Ryan.
Three thoughts:
1. Incorporate an on/off switch if you want to have the one in your bedroom not go off while sleeping, for example.
2. Make some and put them on e-bay and You Tube-You may end up not even needing kickstarter. It could go viral on you!
3. Have it optionally end automatically after a minute or something. Sometimes you just don't want to go get the phone at that time but do want to know if it goes off.

I'll buy a couple for my wife-she works out of home and often has her phone in the wrong room or buried in her purse.

I do like the whale shape-I've been a sucker for that outline ever since I was using whale shaped weights for holding down a drafting spline.

check out selling on etsy or you can pitch the idea on quirky and if they accept it, they do all the work to manufacture. The bad part is you net about 10% out of the deal i think.
