Bicycle Movement Alert

in the spirit of the Lean Startup approach,

without the faff of too much jazz (so far), the Bicycle Movement Alert now has a dot-com domain and a kick-starting indy go-go fund-raising collection via simply Paypal (!),

thoughts, constructive criticism very welcome,

new stuff keeps cropping up (e.g. informed of ulock.me earlier this week), but still no specific movement alerter, which is what Project Fungus is all about establishing/funding: the production of a pure and simple Bicycle Movement Alert;

from attending a tech-event last night, was informed that 90pc of successful fundraising campaigns feature a video, to highlight the human element, so are there any forum-mongers out there who could assist with this??!

I think your site needs a clear manifesto and/or an 'about us' section, plus a call to action so it's clear what you're offering as well as what you need.

Have a look on Youtube for relevant vids and start your own channel...or at least be specific about what you are aiming for with a video.

thx for posting Miss_Mouse, the contribution of @gereonb in another thread has prompted the need for reconsideration with the Project Fungus team.. we're meeting at Hackspace on Thursday.. hopefully after that we ourselves will be clearer on what we can offer (!),

Good luck with it and do keep the forum posted!

This looks interesting, and buying ten gets them much cheaper, anyone want a group buy?

note,

Device Compatibility:

iPhone 4s & Later
iPad 3rd Generation & Later
Android 4.4 & Later with Bluetooth Low Energy

awaiting the delivery of the Pebble Bee Hornet for testing (!), did consider also pre-purchasing the TrackR, but its not out yet.. and buying one-ofs, including P&P becomes expensive, so yeh, i'm game for one at $10+delivery costs,

ref. the TrackR's usefuelness as a BMA,

Distance Indicator
Hotter? Colder? The TrackR app displays the distance between you and your items – letting you know how far those pesky keys are.

Crowd GPS
Lost something? TrackrR's Crowd GPS network will help you find it. When another TrackR user is within range of your lost item, you will receive a GPS update.

the BMA feature included in a lock,

Skylock uses bluetooth to notify you if your bike is disturbed. This is our anti-theft feature. If your bike shakes, Skylock will feel it, and send you an alert.
