Kickstarter founding is asked to spead up the realease, according to a clearly shown timeline. Even if it haven't been founded, it would have been release in 2021; according to how much it raises, they can devote more dev time to its development, and it will be released earlier, or much earlier.
I think it's a very clever thing to do, and that a similar thing has to be done by LW to found further development of RW, just to say.
Speaking of the prototype, I like it. Sure it has to improve a lot, but it's in a pre-alpha phase, and it's already usable and rather interesting.
And, a thing that is very important for me, they are really very responsive to the community's imput.

No. I know software development and saw the numbers and laughed.
5k is 25 man/hours (roughly). That's 3 days. If they're claiming that will speed delivery by more than a week...
Which is why I dismissed this. They seem to be trying to hit a spot between all volunteer open source and proprietary software, but still coded by volunteers. That never works.
Just to be clear the prototype was something I could put together in an afternoon. No one, no one at all, should be backing this based on that.
