    I don't mind the schedule slipping; it's for good reasons. Plus, their openness during this process gives me confidence in the project, and is proving very educational. Being able to watch and learn about how Twine is moving from idea to reality is a fascinating lesson for students and anyone else thinking about inventing and producing something.

Don't worry - since Pebble is shipping in September we'll have time for that later. Our priority is still to get Twine great and in our backers' hands. We're working as fast as we can without skipping quality. Until our next update, check out the first circuit boards (pre-assembly) at the social network of your choice: http://twitter.com/supermechanical or http://facebook.com/supermechanical

Glad you all like the news! If you missed the Pebble Kickstarter, occasionally new slots open up there, so check back regularly on their page; they'll also be doing a general pre-order soon. Magnus, this is the magic of the cloud - when triggered, Twine's output server (we call it Crier) sends the message to Pebble's notification server, which relays the message to your Pebble using the default app. Once the smoke clears, we'll be looking at adding more stuff - this is just a taste...

Hey there backers,
Lots of things happening around here lately. Parts are going to the assemblers and injection molds are heating up! Speaking of heating up, check out our new video of Twine and the world's hottest rock, Pebble, in action!

    Awesome! Already backed these projects. Can we customize some of the application for this purpose?

    Glad to see twine and pebble will be able to work together, since I am part of both kickstarters.

Bradley, it'll be a little while yet. Send us an email describing what you want to do. On our compressed schedule, you might not be able to do complex stuff right away, but we'll be continuously upgrading the software.
