Aw, well i'm glad you wanted to try it :)

Too answer your question though. I've been working on Gimli for the last 18 months now. Using up my own savings, and the reality is that I can't afford to keep working on it for much longer.

I would have loved to be able to present a finished and polished product but i'm just not there yet.

You can't use Show HN for that, though. Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I recommend releasing what you have now since you're about to get a lot of HN traffic. Use it for feedback and upsells while you have the chance.

+1, release it as beta. We know how to deal with broken software, everyone here makes it all the time :-)

(At least, I do)

Okay, you've dedicated time to your project... but you haven't answered the question: why you've posted before release?

I think it's to garner support for the kickstarter linked on the page.

Would love a way to sign up on a mailing list so I can get updates on when this will be released. Looks awesome and can't wait to try it!
