This is the type of thing that totally confuses you? People pay to offload a little work all the time. Do you whittle your own toothpicks? That's just a piece of wood. Do you make your own floss? That's just waxed thread. I thought it was a little silly at first but by the end of the video I'd figure for a couple bucks it might be cool. One thing I wasn't however was left totally confused.

Well I´m glad you weren´t confused - now ignoring your ad hominem comments - all I´m trying to understand is a) why one needs a kickstarter campaign for this and b)if I had to wait a while to get a square piece of plastic - I´d rather go to a local CNC place and have it cut for me (or even a local home depot kinda place). No i dont make my own floss or toothpicks - but theres a whole lot more work that goes into them & I dont need to fund them online via a kickstarter to get them - I can go to the neighbourhood shop and pick em up - just like I could with the pieces of plastic I´d prototype my apps on ;). Now go learn how to argue properly rather than getting personal!
