That's great to see that this is going kickstarter, I'll throw in something for a solo key later.

Seems this is also a lot cheaper than a yubikey while also being fairly hackable.

Great job <3

Thank you so much! It's been an adventure... it's incredibly exciting to be live.

And the support we've received is beyond any expectation, we reached the goal in 19 minutes!

Does the 'solo tap' require additional software on an Android device? For example, would this work with LineageOS or does it require some google blob crap?

FIDO2 is standardized and backward compatible with U2F, so any browser (or app) with this support should work. Specifically, they should support CTAP1/2 over NFC (or USB). I asked in the team, we're not really familiar with LineageOS, but we'll try to do some tests.

Looks awesome. One thing though regarding iOS - I hope Apple don't just open up NFC more, but implement FIDO2 (CTAP2 and Webauthn) utilizing the secure enclave on the device with Face ID. I don't know enough about it, but surely it should be possible and it would make for a great user experience if they did!
