Crowdfunding has traditionally been a platform where the little guys go to get a leg up. Creators get the chance to share their ideas, and we’re able to do something positive if we like what we see. We chip in, take a little leap of faith, and maybe see something realised that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible. But, what about when a large corporation steps in to get a slice?

Artist Spencer Merolla's "Coal Comforts" is an pop-up bakery serving treats made from coal ash to encourage dialogue on climate change and pollution.

The Android enthusiast community has always been hungry for phones that offer a flagship experience at a low cost. That's why people still mourn Google's Nexus program a year later, despite numerous hardware problems over the years (I should know, my 5 and 5X both died unexpectedly after about a year). And despite OnePlus' many misfires over the years, the company's phones are still praised.

Back in 2013, 2386 backers pledged a total of $39,739 via Kickstarter to a company called Kilobite to create a dystopian tactical RPG called Confederate Express. The game boasted a unique method of post-processing powered by tech known as the “False2D” API, which could “[simulate] 3D conditions in 2D environments.” A tech demo showing off this technology was made available alongside the Kickstarter campaign.

You know what everyone forgets about the story of the boy who cried wolf? In the end, there actually was a wolf - a ravenous, man-eating wolf. It's as much a parable about the dangers of ignoring credible threats just because the present situation is rosy, as it is about the social ills of sending bored teenage boys up lonely hillsides in the era before they could stream high-definition porn over LTE.

As we reported earlier this week, developer Playdek abandoned the Yasumi Matsuno-involved Kickstarter Unsung Story and sold it to publisher Little Orbit. Not being known for games like Unsung Story, or non-licensed games in general, the move was odd and raised a lot of questions about the future of the $600,000 Kickstarted tactical RPG. We reached out to Little Orbit to try and fill in some of the blanks.

Harnessing the power of the sun can solve this. After years of living the “worldwide hustle/entrepreneur/jet set gypsy life,” as he calls it, Adrian Solgaard is set on reinventing the mobile office and is seeking funding via Kickstarter.

The tech world is completely aghast at the price of the gold Apple Watch Edition, which starts at $10,000 but would cost you even more if you plan on buying it. The pricing is baking everyone’s noodles. It’s so hard for us to understand how can this edition cost so much more than the basic one when the only difference it’s in the design. This is not how tech works.

The CaptoGlove is an input device (er, garment?) meant for a variety of platforms--its creator seems to be aiming for “platform agnostic”--including the PC, mobile devices, and for XR. It’s designed to allow you to ditch standard input devices such as gamepads, keyboards, and mice, and the company making it, also called CaptoGlove, has just launched a Kickstarter campaign.

Senstone may be one of the world's smallest wearables — and perhaps one of the most useful. The tiny device has one function: to help you keep track of your ideas, to-do lists, and notes while you're on the go. Senstone records voice memos, uploads them to an app, and transcribes them for you. The device is launching on Kickstarter Tuesday with the goal of raising $50,000, but I got an early version of the Senstone to try out for myself.

Plenty of top-flight headphones have noise-cancelling features to help listeners tune out the rest of the world. Now, a new set of brain-hacking headphones, Mindset, is taking everything a step further and adding distraction-canceling tech to keep you in the zone. Mindset, which just launched as a Kickstarter project, promises to include all the bells and whistles you'd expect from premium over-ear headphones — they're wireless with noise-cancelling capabilities, and the sound comes from Onkyo...

Black Holes is a 3D animated short film selected at Sundance 2017 that we’re developing into an adult animated sitcom. This first season chronicles the journey of Dave The Astronaut and his partner, an intelligent melon, as they embark on the first ever human mission to Mars.

Your phone isn't doing anything interesting while its charging, but a Canadian design company called AR Design wants to change that by making your phone float and spin in the air while it charges. The levitating wireless phone charger is currently undergoing its Kickstarter campaign and is getting close to its $31,000 goal. Most of the early-bird packages are gone, but you can still snag one for under $200 right now.

The Fed Ex guy is always delivering intriguing parcels to Mini Museum’s headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, but he’s never allowed to see what’s inside. On Wednesday, it was something very cool from Norway, co-founder Jamie Grove explains – though he can’t say any more. But Mini Museum has the fascinating, rare and bizarre delivered every day; it’s a unique startup that collects scientific and historic artefacts from around the universe, meticulously divides them and presents them encased in clear acrylic as a “mini museum”.

Your smartphone is an incredibly powerful computer. You already do a lot on your smartphone: it's convenient, portable, and holds all of your apps, files, and contacts. In fact, you could accomplish a lot more with it, but are often held back by its small screen size and limited mobile interface. That's why we created the Superbook - to remove those restrictions and give you the freedom of using just one computer. What is the Superbook? At its core, the Superbook is a smart laptop shell that provides a large screen, keyboard and multi-touch trackpad, 8+ hours of battery, and phone charging capabilities.

The latest iteration of the idubbbzTV series "Kickstarter Crap" focuses on projects for cat owners. He breaks down the projects, showing their absurdity (Not like the projects in this episode needed much help in that department though). P.S: He swears a lot, but I didn't know if that warrants making it NSFW
