I'm just wondering why you've posted before release? I was really excited to try it out, only to discover that it isn't released yet... :(

  Aw, well i'm glad you wanted to try it :) Too answer your question though. I've been working on Gimli for the last 18 months now. Using up my own savings, and the reality is that I can't afford to keep working on it for much longer. I would have loved to be able to present a finished and polished product but i'm just not there yet.

    I recommend releasing what you have now since you're about to get a lot of HN traffic. Use it for feedback and upsells while you have the chance.

      +1, release it as beta. We know how to deal with broken software, everyone here makes it all the time :-) (At least, I do)

    Would love a way to sign up on a mailing list so I can get updates on when this will be released. Looks awesome and can't wait to try it!

      Good suggestion! I will look into it.

    Okay, you've dedicated time to your project... but you haven't answered the question: why you've posted before release?

      I think it's to garner support for the kickstarter linked on the page.

    You can't use Show HN for that, though. Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
