Without doing "what the customer wants" you can simply forget doing Kickstarters. And nobody said it has to be a short term goal. Imagine $500'000; you could pay 3 developers 2 years full time. Enough for a moonshot? Several 3D printer designs reached such numbers with just a fancy, half baked idea. Prospects of software games reached a lot more. > That's unrealistic, > raises expectations unnecessarily Such expectations are the entire reason why crowdfunding works. > A cash register, a cloud manager, an invoicing app, etc. Forget it :-) There are plenty of cash registers, cloud managers and invoicing apps already. The group of possible users is pretty small, for sure not in the millions. And nobody in the crowdfunding world puts a dime on things like "quality" or "GNUstep-first".
