News from the Campaign and a New Contest to Join!

by Gili Yankovitch

Hello all you hackers and tinkerers!

The Sword of Secrets pre-launch campaign is off to an incredible start! THANK YOU to all of you who subscribed for the pre-launch! It’s gaining real momentum and has already been featured on Hackster.io and other awesome platforms. I’m beyond excited to see so many fellow hardware nerds, hackers, and curious minds rally behind the project.

But now, I need your help.

I’ve been refreshing the graphical and physical design of the Sword, but I want the final look to be decided by the community.

There are three unique design options on the table, each one bringing a different flavor to the table. Whether you’re into sharp aesthetics, classic layouts, or playful chaos, this is your time to weigh in.

Which one will it be? The Sword of Secrets is drawing in the essence of your choosing. Which form will it take? Cast your vote: your voice could be the one to tip the scales!

Cast your vote to decide on the sword’s fate!

What’s Next?

Thanks for being part of this journey! Your feedback, enthusiasm, and support have been everything.

Gili.
