Awesome Kickstarter: Thermodo, tiny thermometer for your iPhone

Last week i backed my second kickstarter campaign ever. The first one was Soma Water, and now the second one is Thermodo, the tiny iphone thermometer.

                                           

The kicstarter campaign seems to be on a tear.

$234,334

Awesome pricing:

I am sure the sweet price point of only $19 to get your hands on a thermodo is helping the appeal.

The higher up tears that give early developer access and an sdk to leverage the hardware is a smart upsell pricing strategy.

Go back it yourself and get one ! Its only $19 here is the kickstarter link:

Or go get a Robocat app to see if you digg their design style:

Thermo (iOS weather app) - https://itunes.apple.com/pl/app/thermo/id414215658?mt=8

Thermodo. what is it :

A really tiny, well designed, headphone jack fob that measures temperature of the immediate surrounding area of the iphone (vs. getting it from a web api, which is sourcing it from some weather station tower that could be miles away).

Thermodo reasons i backed it:

1. The video was really convincing that they had a working prototype

2. The robocat apps are a success story in the weather app category and rule !

3. The video production was really high, almost felt like an amateur version of an apple video

4. I really like the idea of thermodo building a giant data set of temperatures via crowd sourcing the data from their apps and thermodo sensors.

5. I love that they offer an SDK for other developers to leverage their hardware innovation
