Dear Wave Watchers,

Today marks the final day of the AnyShake crowdfunding campaign. In what feels like the blink of an eye, we’ve arrived at that fateful moment when a creator might turn up the pressure, urging you to pledge before time runs out.

But that’s not why we’re here. As we’ve mentioned, Crowd Supply will continue to offer the AnyShake Explorer after the campaign concludes (although prices will rise after the campaign) for the initial stock run and, hopefully, well into the future. That’s one of the many things we love about this platform!

Instead, we want to take this moment to simply say: thank you.

Thank you to everyone who backed the campaign and put their faith in our vision. Thank you to everyone who spread the word, helping our community grow. And thank you to everyone who tested early prototypes, offering invaluable feedback that shaped the final design.

A special thank you goes to the makers, seismology enthusiasts, educators, and open-source contributors. You didn’t just see a device; you saw the potential for an accessible, high-performance, and fully open-source scientific instrument.

Your support has been instrumental in proving that professional-grade tools can be open, transparent, and community-driven. Together, we haven’t just created a product; we’ve cultivated a community passionate about understanding our planet and sharing that knowledge freely.

The end of this campaign marks the true beginning for AnyShake. We have a roadmap filled with exciting developments, from software enhancements to new hardware modules, and we can’t wait to share our progress with you. If you haven’t already, we warmly invite you to join our Discord Server to watch it all unfold and continue being a core part of our story.

Stay connected with our journey! Follow us on X/Twitter, where we’ll be sharing production updates and interesting seismic waveforms we detect. For questions big or small, from a technical inquiry to just saying hi, you can always reach us directly at anyshake@senseplex.net. We love hearing from you!

Open source is the future of science and exploration. Thank you for helping us build it, together.

We’ll see you on the other side!

With gratitude,

The AnyShake Team
