Update #8: A time-sensitive thank you for subscribers in the US

I'm going to open some more Early Bird offers on Kickstarter just for you

Hey gang! This is a newsletter about Poem/1, the AI rhyming clock — telling the time with a new ChatGPT poem every MINUTE on a gorgeous e-paper screen. You’re getting this email because you subscribed for updates. If you need it, the unsubscribe link is at the bottom of this email. If you’re along for the ride, thank you :)

tl;dr set your alarm for 10am Pacific (6pm London) because I’m going to make more Early Bird packages available on Kickstarter.

Ok, here is the genuine definition of a good problem to have:

I launched the Poem/1 Kickstarter campaign today at 10am UK time / 2am Pacific, and here is the PROGRESS REPORT just 7 hours later:

Funding progress: ⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 30%

😳🚀

This is awesome!

However…

I did not expect this.

Which means that the limited Early Bird reward tier (24% off future retail price) were all sold out before the west coast even woke up.

Oops.

I wanted to reward you for signing up on the newsletter early.

So here’s what I’m going to do:

• I am going to add an extra 50 Early Bird packages

• I’ll do this in just under an hour, at 10am Pacific / 6pm London

⏰ So set your alarms!!

I’m not going to promote this on Twitter/etc, but obviously I can’t stop people snaffling them up.

And my budget won’t allow me to do this more than once, so you’ll need to get in there quick.

This is as a massive THANK YOU for your early support and energy, and being with me on the journey.

What you need to know

Here’s the Kickstarter campaign link.

Set your alarm for 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm London today (that’s in just under an hour) to grab yourself an Early Bird.

And…

Of course, please tell your friends — and share in Slack, Discord, WhatsApp communities and all the rest. 30% is a great start, but a Kickstarter is a marathon and there’s a long way to go!

The memorable Kickstarter link you can say without even writing it down is this: poem.town/ks

Thank you again,
