Re: Re: another plea! ShadowPlan for iOS? Seed-Money?

How about appealing for sponsorship on Kickstarter?

You say how much it would take to kick off this project, set a deadline
(say, two or three months), and people that believe in you pledge what they
can.

You can incentivize it with rewards, if you choose. These could be licenses
paid for in advance, or "faxable" donuts :)

If you don't get enough backing by the deadline, you can drop the whole
thing or go a different route (though we'd all be massively disappointed!),
and nobody gets charged a dime.

But if you do get enough backing, all those pledges are automagically
funneled to your project so you get to actually eat on your first day "on
the job". People can put their money where their mouth is, without actually
endangering it.

This would give you an indication of where the wind is headed before you
commit yourself hook, line and sinker, and minimizes everybody else's risk
as well.

What say you?
