Kickstarter

Does anyone know if there's a way to list recently launched projects by category?

I have no interest in seeing musicians who want kickstarter to fund their latest dire album. Filtering seem pretty dire.

Glaucus · 29 Jul 2013 at 10:51

Filtering is awful.

You can search for tags, but it all depends how they've tagged themselfs.
Search #science for example.

I've emailed them with suggestions and annoyances and they just said we aren't upgrading the website ATM, but if we do we'll keep your suggestions in mind.

Someone needs to build a third party website that can do proper searching and categories.

Why oh why can't I filter uk or £ ones only.

Raumarik · 29 Jul 2013 at 11:30

At least it's not just me, had a feeling I was missing some drop down or tick box somewhere! Yes dire, to say the least especially on a site that takes a cut of successfully funded projects, yet doesn't allow easy filtering.

yay, another one turned up today

I have absolutely no need for one of these, but for some reason I really want one

My first pledge and it had to be the Omate smart watch. If they can pull this off it will be excellent.

I like the idea when walking/running/cycling etc. but not for everyday. I'm waiting. Samsung, ms, apple all have ones in the pipe line and I think that it's worth waiting as the technology will mature rapidly.

Glaucus, are you still using your money card clip thing?

arknor · 24 Aug 2013 at 20:43

How some of this crap gets funded I will never know, a lot of it is the sort of crap you would see in a novelty shop

And why do novelty shops exist? People love that kind of stuff!

novelty shops exist for people who buy gifts but don't know what they should buy

like the thing to stop spoons etc melting on the edge of pans :confused:

patina is ugly on wooden spoons? lol wut? it's unhygienic lol wut? it's no more unhygienic that cooking your food without a lid on

plastic spoons melting? maybe pound shop ones the half normal ones can withstand heat without melting quite easily.

half of the stuff just seems to be solving problems that don't exist for a quick buck

I am indeed and it's brilliant, wish I forked out for the titanium one, not sure why but its titanium.

I think people need a test before you are allowed to sign up.

Getting fed up of projects being filled with where's my product comments, or I paid for a product you said may its now September.

For a start you haven't paid for a product. You paid to support a new company/product etc. it's a backing and reward not a purchase.
Much rather they got items right and massive over runs, than them sending rubbish out.

I've backed four so far;

Obtainium wallet
Wallet received, and it's a lovely piece of kit.

Hexbright torch
2 hexbrights received, nice torches. Not played with the programming features due to time

Godus game
Beta starts on steam September 13th

Elite: Dangerous game
Seems on target from the developer diaries but only time will tell if it hits it's projected 04/14 release date.

Glaucus · 6 Sep 2013 at 10:29

Same, got the pro choice + goPro package.
You can tell they've done this before, updates and communications have been brilliant.

Guerrilla · 6 Sep 2013 at 11:01

I funded my first one yesterday, these guys.

I do find it hard to search for stuff on the kickstarter website, hopefully they will address that soon.
