Create a new board to replace fitbit

[gez...@gmail.com]

You may have heard that FitBit was acquired by Google (HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21418232). My wife owns one amd we immediately looked for alternatives. There are none. The OpenHAK looks perfect, too bad the Kickstarter wasn't a success. I'd immediately buy one.

Maybe you could create a new design without the Simbee and use the occasion to market your wristband to tech-affine former FitBit users? There *must* be a market for these boards! (A HackerNews post announcing a pre-order might potentially attract thousands of clicks in the next few days, the FitBit post was on page 1 for quite a while).

Put me on the list for potential buyers.

Yes, I saw that news. Not sure what the heck Google is up to, but it definitely involves data. Piles and piles of data.

We really appreciate your sentiment, Danilo. Do you already own an OpenHAK? If not, I may be able to scrounge one of the Biohacking Village badges up for you to purchase by Xmas...

Hi,

I just found out about OpenHAK. I am so disappointed I
could not get my hands on one. Do you still have one
available ?

I live in London and would be happy to pay any extra
costs for shipping / out of Kickstarter purchases.

Please let me know if its possible.

Thanks,
Aqib

Hey, sorry to hear you missed the defcon badge sale.

I will be looking into what I can put together for hardware this weekend and post on the forum about if I can put together a couple more boards. Stay tuned

Hello biomurph

Thanks for your reply!

It's Google ;)

No, I don't yet own an OpenHAK and I think I would be willing to buy one!
