I was part of the indiegogo campaign to get the lantern [1] off the ground. I've heard very few updates from them since the campaign ended; here's hoping they still pull it off!

- livingparadox 11y agoThat looks like a different project of the same name. The lantern in this post is a desktop app that bypasses site blockers.
- halosghost 11y agoAhh, you appear to be completely correct! The project I was referring to had a software component as well (which is on GitHub); I mistakenly associated the two. My apologies! I will leave my GP comment here in case people find the other project interesting; but they do appear to be unrelated. Thanks for clearing that up :D
- syedkarim 11y agoThanks for your support! We are very much still active in the development of Lantern (the physical satellite data receiver). We've sent about 12 updates regarding the campaign; we're a little uneasy about flooding inboxes with campaign updates.
