    First of all thank you for taking then time to think this through. Our MVP worked fine. In fact we were reviewed by the BBC last year. It's our new version that isn't ready yet. Ou…

    I agree. If we take preorders, we will make sure we can refund them completely if we don't deliver. The idea behind taking preorders is to convince VCs that we have a market. They …

    We don't have venture backing yet. We were hoping to use preorders to convince vcs/angels. We really don't want to go the crowdfunding route because it has gotten increasingly game…

    I believe Shopify allows preordering. I was not aware that processors will freeze you out for taking preorders. Thank you for letting us know; we will look into this.

    Here's our plan: get pre-orders. Take those pre-orders to potential investors to raise money. Fill orders. The idea behind the pre-orders is not so much to raise money directly but…

    Ask HN: Any advice on taking preorders?

    We are considering taking preorders for our hardware product. We have enough potential users clamoring for it (our invitation list is a few thousand long) but, thanks to COVID, it …

    Brilliant: the project itself but also the trouble you took to share the how-to deets!

    Thanks! We will definitely keep your offer in mind. Our issue, though, is not the market. There is a lot of demand! And we just got nominated for a design excellence award by the A…

    Thanks. We think users will have a collection of earphones: different ones for different occasions: one for the gym, one for a work lunch, one for an evening party…

    I agree about trying to cram too many features into a product. That doesn’t work. What we are trying to do is show how to use an available feature -smart assistants - in different …
