Thanks. worth mentioning that 100% of the projects listed on crowd supply over the past decades that fund have shipped to backers

Whereas there's lots of scams on kickstsrter and indigogo, CS is a very trustworthy platform

Not true. E.g. https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop never shipped.

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.
