Lessons From the Worst Project Matt Haughey Ever Funded on Kickstarter

Matt Haughey:

Again, I mention this entire project not to single out the creators as bad people but instead to show any and all past/current/future Kickstarter backers what not to do. When you are designing a product for Kickstarter and you show prototypes, backers will assume you have worked all the bugs out first. When things start to go wrong, it doesn’t help to discount the comments or question the motivation of backers giving critical feedback.

As Glenn Fleishman comments, Haughey’s story serves to demonstrate how well Kickstarter usually works.
