I'm excited to share a project a few friends and I have been passionately working on: Kywy – a compact, powerful gaming device that's not just for play, but also a platform for learning and embedded development.

What is Kywy? Kywy is a pocket-sized gaming console that defies the norms. It's not just a device; it's an open-source ecosystem where gaming meets education and development. With Kywy, we're bridging the gap between entertainment and practical learning, especially in the realms of programming and hardware interaction.

Why Kywy?

Portability: Fits in your pocket, game anywhere, anytime. Powerful Hardware: Despite its size, Kywy is pretty powerful, capable of running complex games and simulations. Open-Source Nature: This is where Kywy truly shines. It's fully open-source, inviting developers, hobbyists, and students to tinker, modify, and enhance. Learning Platform: Kywy is an excellent tool for education. It's perfect for teaching coding, game development, and understanding embedded systems. Community and Collaboration We're building a community around Kywy. Whether you're a game developer, a student, or just a gaming enthusiast, there's something here for you. We're fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation.

We Need Your Support We're at a crucial stage and need the community's support to bring Kywy to its full potential. Visit our website [kywy.io] to learn more, join our community, and be part of this exciting journey. We're also looking for feedback, ideas, and collaborations.

Let's Game and Learn Together! Kywy is more than a gaming device; it's a movement towards making learning fun and accessible. We believe in the power of play and the potential of open-source collaboration. We are aiming to open up preorders in December 2023!

I would be very interested in this, especially for $45-ish it's a no-brainer... do you have any idea around when could it ship, worst-case-ish scenario?
Thanks! $45 is the price we are aiming for. Our delivery range for preorders is going to be best case scenario 6 months and worst 18. We have manufacturing samples ready to be made so as long as things run smoothly 6-8 months should be realistic.
