Thank you for this, I'm one of the creators of Solo. BTW, to add to your point, a couple interesting numbers. 1) Search "login" on Kickstarter [1]. All 22 campaigns from 2011 to 2018 have failed! 2) Search "security" [2], and the most backed project doesn't even reach 10k people. It's indeed a really hard space. If I can criticize our community of technical people, we're not really inviting "normal people" to join. Some of my friends tried to read throughout the comments, only found technical details or complains, and simply gave up and left. I'm sure many potential backers do the same. It'd just take the effort to go to github, nerd about whatever we like there, and leave the Kickstarter cleaner for regular people to participate. It is what it is, of course we're more than happy with the result so far. Lesson learned for the next one. :) [1] https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/advanced?term=login&sort=magic https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/advanced?term=login&sor...

I that must say thank you for your effort... About the kind of person you tried to attract, well, at least you gave them many colors to choose! I found the color choosing strange, why someone concerned about security should bother about color, but I see it was your attempt to attract more people. Maybe if you place a tamagotchi inside it people will be more interested. :) just kidding. I really respect your project!

  Thank you! Yes, the color is exactly an attempt to attract other people. And yes, your comment is exactly my point :) > why someone concerned about security should bother about color First: why do we have colored phones then? Why someone concerned about talking should bother about color. Second: how this helps the cause, versus sharing on twitter something like "how cool are colors! it's the first time in the industry someone thinks about colors" Not saying this to point a finger at you, but trying to explain why it's so incredibly hard to talk about security. Many don't care. And who cares doesn't help. :)
