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 October 22, 2012.

OH. MY. GOD.

Update #17 · Oct 23, 2012 · 9 comments

WE DID IT. We hit the goal with literally 12 seconds left, and ended up $175 over our goal! We pulled in $1000 in the last 10 minutes, and $3,055 during the course of the day.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU. Thank you for pledging, for spreading the word over the past three weeks and in the final hours, for increasing your pledges to make this happen. I'm shaking right now I am so excited and grateful.

Issue Three. Should be to you by December. And then we will be back in 2013, with a new model for longer-term funding. We're not sure what form that will take yet, but we promise to stay true to our mission.

A picture or three for you:

This is what a rally looks like:

This is what the Kickstarter looked like 1 second before it ended (Thanks to Henry Fuhrmann for taking this):

And this is what I looked like when I was able to actually stand up from my desk:

Thank you all again, so much. I can't express how much it means to me that you believe in us this way.
