Yep, that's something that accidentally got removed on the most recent re-design... The batteries are each 3,000 mAh.

Yea, that's actually a great point! I glossed over that pre-CAD prototyping in the post since we built those first "duct-tape prototypes" a long, long time ago. So we don't have pictures readily accessible and it was har

Ha, well I'll take the first part as a compliment! We are actually proud that our case is slimmer than most other battery cases on the market. We didn't want our case to be bulky so we designed our own custom lightning connector t

Hey everyone, I wrote this post :). I'm happy to see that it's getting some traffic here. Let me know if y'all have any questions. I would love to see this post help other people start hacking on hardware, so I'll answer

We actually include two batteries! I think that's actually a key part of what makes CoBattery special. The case is designed for battery swapping and when you buy CoBattery you have everything you need to start swapping.

Sweet! I have some blog posts planned about how we are designing a new charger and our 3D print iteration set up. So I'll think if we have anything else on the battery. I also wrote up a basic, but goofy, post on "What is a batter

Thanks jpm_sd! So for the battery, we are actually using a modified version of an older Samsung battery (not the Note 7 haha). That's something that we didn't want to reinvent. So we are working with a factory who has made these b

Awesome article! It says you asked 100 campaigns. Does that mean you got 100 answers or you only 100 campaigns? I'm curious as to how the bias of who responded to you would affect your data.

Ah great, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the quick reply! How do you compare Gen9 and Twist? Do you use each for a specific type of synthesis?

Hmm, I tried it out. Doesn't seem too useful yet and there is some polishing to be done so hopefully this continues to go through further development! One needed improvement: display the offending line on errors. Then you don't ha

Can someone who has tried this share their experience? It sounds really awesome but it's very hard to tell if it's going to be more annoying or more useful. Maybe it would be useful to have some example linting errors on the homep

This is the type of thing that's so simple and rewarding that it makes me annoyed that I hadn't thought of it and made it first! Really cool, good work!

This seems really cool! I can think of a bunch of new things to do with this and a lot of places where I want to know how busy they are. The one thing that really confuses me is the pricing structure. Why do you need to pay each month? Payi

This is interesting. It seems like a very simplified version of what Socedo ( http://www.socedo.com/ ) is trying to do. They are generating actionable sales leads primarily for enterprise business. But I used the trial just a

Wow, it seems like this will take a while to come out and I didn't see any word on pricing. A good alternative to this is a Beep. Beep sells devices that plug into any speakers audio jack to let you stream music from your phone. What&#

Usually they do a rolling release over the course of the day. So it will probably be available by the afternoon and definitely be the evening (west-coast time).

I did this and I still don't have any data on my dashboard. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you have to enable the tracking? I am using an iPhone 5 so it might be different...

Where do you go to find these loopholes? Or is it just a lot of individual research?

Maybe a crowdsourced model might actually do better than a freemium model. You're right, it's the simplicity that makes it so nice. So they don't really need to iterate on features at this point.
