Wow. Funded on 2016. Last update about testing on 2020. Nothing since (in 2025).

What the hell happened? And what did crowd supply do about it? Did they make any reimbursement to the backers? Or, at least, issue an apology?

Overambitious solo developer + health issues.

No reimbursments or apologies.
