We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 11, 2012.

End of Week Three: The finish line is in sight.

Update #3 · Jun 25, 2012 · comment

Three weeks in, and we're only $6,000 away from our target. That's more than three quarters of the way there, with only two weeks to go!

Thank you for the love and excitement that you've all shown. It's been so great to talk to people on the phone who've just, y'know, wanted to kick thousands of dollars at us because they want to help build our digital future. Nothing makes us happier than that level of belief in what we're doing.

As we're inching ever closer, any poking and prodding of your loved ones you can do for their support would be infinitely appreciated. There are plenty of great rewards remaining, and we're getting pretty excited about making those yarmulkes.

As ever, the Dumbo Feather brains trust has been doing a strategic analysis of the future of publishing. They've submitted another report on the potential of tablet magazines to solve age-old problems. See below.

Why an app? We've got a third reason:
