Preorders, biggest buzzkill EVER
Maddie Bleistern
@sandrojazzar Sandro, it is kind of a buzzkill! I wish we were ready to ship right away, too. We're a small team, but I know we'll we'll get there :)

@sandrojazzar Argh, I thought the same thing when I saw Spring 2017. I remember as a kid I read about the game Dark Forces in a magazine, and then later that day we were at Costco and IT WAS THERE. Would love more "Surprise, it's out!" but these companies need buzz to get going.
Josh Birdwell
@sandrojazzar feels the same when I see it leads to a crowd sourcing page. I'd go to Kickstarter if I wanted to back something.

@bleistern It's just that I was ready to whip out my CC! Now you'll either have to remarket me when you launch or miss an opportunity! I don't rlly like to order something and wait, especially when it's a cool product! 😝 U should take it as a compliment! 😁 And giving out my email for updates isn't ideal either :( but I promise to keep an eye out for when u ship ;)
Jorge Bestard
@_birdwell @sandrojazzar I think the restriction they might've had is Kickstarter makes you have a working prototype. The video looks like its cgi?
Austin Sandmeyer
I love this, I just want it NOW! Guess I'll just have to settle it with my current usage of sticky notes... πŸ™ƒ
Maddie Bleistern
@as_austin if we had a national ad campaign, I'd find some way to work this in. πŸ˜‚
Brandon Bailey
@as_austin I feel like the only reason you posted a comment was to be able to post a video. It was worth it.

looks like a cool product. video:
Maddie Bleistern
@_jacksmith Thanks, Jack!

@_jacksmith and here's the TV commercial:

@searchresults @_jacksmith It took me way to long to figure out this was a joke...

Hey Everyone! The team and I have been looking forward to this day for some time now. There are a lot of things being connected to the internet, some more useful than others. Tweeting toasters, fridges that take pictures of your food. With SeeNote, we wanted to make something that was truly helpful, day in and day out. Something to solve daily problems: ~ Leaving home without an umbrella ~ Forgetting lunch in the fridge ~ Darting out the door only to sit in delays at the platform or in the car ~ Missing an important note because it’s buried in notifications ~ Fumbling with a smartphone for access to smart home controls We found ourselves already using traditional sticky notes to solve some of these problems. Invented nearly 40 years ago, the sticky note is a proven tool. With SeeNote, we feel we've taken the utility of that tool a step further, by making it digital and dynamic. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Andrew Brodsky
@bleistern Great looking execution of a very needed solution for many people. Keep up the innovation.
Blake Robinson
Neat. Too bad it's a year out.
Scott Ruona
This is exactly what I wanted to do with my Kindle.
Maddie Bleistern
@scottruona Us too! Our first prototype was a hacked Nook. Wanted something always on, so ePaper seemed the right tech for the job!
Scott Ruona
@bleistern Will there be an API for 3rd party apps? I'd love to have my Wunderlist on there!
Hans Gerwitz
@scottruona same here … I've been looking for a used Kindle to hack for this purpose, but am much happier to buy a finished product.
Stefanie Amini
SHUT UP and take my money!!! $$$ This is so cool...can it also measure the temperature inside the house?
Maddie Bleistern
@stefamini Hey Stefanie!! At first, I wasn't sure if I should shut up, or answer ;) but yes; if you have a temperature sensor in your house that talks to IFTTT, then you certainly could configure SeeNote to display that data.
Stephen M. Levinson
Do you have an actual working prototype? I noticed the screens and UI interactions in the video were added later in post production.
Maddie Bleistern
@stephenmarklevi yes! we do have a working prototype; it's not as pretty as the one in the video but it works! (It's based off of existing android-based e-reader hardware)
Derek Nuzum
Very cool. Just wish it wasn't preorder like others have said. Any dev docs available at this time?
Maddie Bleistern
@dnuzum Thanks, Derek! We plan on making the dev docs available by Fall 2016
Aram Shahinyan
This is absolutely brilliant! I do love such kind of products, when simple things we use every day are reimagined and presented in a new better way! The neat design is also kicking ass! Great job, thumbs up!
Maddie Bleistern
@aramiggs Really appreciate the kind words, Aram! We think there's magic in taking something people already use and know well, and upgrading it! Happy to hear you're digging the design as well :)
Palak Zatakia
Looks cool but unsure about how useful it will be compared to traditional sticky notes. You can't use this one roughly and freely the way you can with the traditional one. but, indeed a great product! Good luck, guys! :)
Maddie Bleistern
@palakzatakia Palak, there's definitely a few sticky note use-cases this doesn't replace. But we're working on making it better and better :) Thanks for your support!!
Maddie Bleistern
@dannyfiorentini I love this. And I think we're up for that UX challenge!! Thank you for your support, Danny.
Andrew Brodsky
I am in love with this product. My wife lives and dies by sticky notes. This just needs to be integrated with Amazon Echo so leaving reminders will be simple for my kids that dont have smart phones.
Maddie Bleistern
@andrewjb44 thanks Andrew!! Means a lot to us that you're so excited about SeeNote πŸ˜„ Echo support is on our roadmap, so rest assured!
Danny Fiorentini
So the inside joke in my family is, my Dad uses 4,000 sticky notes on his desk everyday. To the point where we constantly spoof him with a "Buy more sticky notes" sticky note. He refuses to use his iPhone notes or anything else - it's hilarious. I'm going to order this for him just to see if he can make it through the iPhone setup without yelling at it. That will be the ultimate test!
Maddie Bleistern
@dannyfiorentini I love this! And, app UX challenge accepted!
Melanie Amini
WOW! Just wow!! I really love it! I just had to pause the video to come back here and tell you all how much i love it! Beautifully designed and simple to "get". Well done. Can't wait to have one in my house!
Maddie Bleistern
@themelamini Thank you, Melanie!! Your comment really does mean a lot to us. :)
Moin Uddin
Hey I thought of it a long time ago. Reallly cooool.
Maddie Bleistern
@moinism thanks! Some of our developer friends have told us they've thought about creating something like this using Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Ours is Android-based, and our prototype was actually a rooted Nook.
bert
Ohh Love it, specially the open api. So easy to build fun stuff. Cant wait to get it.

"Orders Scheduled To Ship Spring 2017" Yikes
