I really hope the Librem 5 meets its target (I'm a backer). I'd also hope that the fundraising deadline could be extended if it only needs a few more days to complete. Having a FLOSS phone platform, especially with a strong communication platform like Matrix at its core, is something that should ultimately do a lot of good for the continued growth of open source/free software.

if they keep going at their current pace they will most likely make it.

$821,660 / 35 days = $23,476 a day (on average)

$23,476 * 25 days = $586,900

$821,660 + $586,900 = $1,408,560

Fundraising campaigns are rarely linear and often see an upsurge at the end, but it's still clear that the fundraising trajectory is slightly behind the $1,500,000 target at the moment.
