It’s a fun little DIY project to do at home. You really think if you go around spamming positive comments it will drown out all the negatives? Get over it and move onto something better. You’re reinventing something that already exists… but you’re making it worse. They also have alarms, voice options, clap and knock detection. They don’t need you to mess around with your phone every night, they just work. There are projector clocks that can run on batteries or plug into the wall. Guess what buddy, most people sleep in the same damn bed every night. Your main reasoning for why people should use Clockety instead of one of the many existing projector clocks is that it’s portable. ![]() You really think people are gonna screw around clipping this thing on every night and running the app? Oh and P.S you can’t use your case anymore AND you have to keep your phone upside down AND it’s going to eat through your battery while it listens for knocks. You need a better idea.Īs a product for people to buy and use, it’s just rediculous. You don’t need more marketing, more tech conferences and more spending. The kickstarter campaign flopped, the indiegogo campaign is looking to go the same way. Sorry man but just face it, Clockety is a flop. Sorry bro but I hope you can stop wasting your money at least. I keep trying to think of any way that you could make this into a product that people would actually want to use but I simply cannot! Everything Clockety already does and you say will do in the future can already be done much better by other devices on the market. Tiny portable projectors already exist, as do phones with built in pico projectors which can project video clips from your phone onto a wall/ceiling.Ĭlockety is a fun little hack/diy project that you started and home and honestly it should have stayed there. Clockety only works in a very dark room, why would you want to project notifications to your ceiling while you’re sleeping? To be honest, I’m not even sure if it’s worth making the version 2 you talked about. It can be difficult listening to critical feedback, especially when you’ve clearly put a lot of effort into promoting your product Mr Gaurav Tanner Taneja.īut hopefully with the 80+ comments here, you’ll be able to go back to the drawing board and come up with something a bit better for your next KS/indiegogo project.

Adding power, moving to a dot-matrix LCD, and rolling in Bluetooth for v2 could allow you to push more data to the projected image. There should be a pass-through adapter that would allow you to charge the phone while driving the projector LCD. We really hope that this one succeeds because we have some ideas for the next revision. The optics have been designed with standard bedside table height and room ceiling height in mind, with a fine adjustment on the lens assembly for focus. ![]() has done a good job of pricing for the simplicity, with the Indiegogo pre-order price of $19.Īt this point you use an SR44 cell to power the clock and LCD, with buttons to set minutes and hours. Here you can see that the device is extremely simple, just a real-time-clock on a tiny PCB, a passthrough LCD, and the mouting pieces to hold the lens at the appropriate focal length. ![]()
