Hey Paul, I'm not opposed to anything you've done but just replying with what I believe the general sentiment is that I'm referring to.
I understand the reasoning. I think the question was more around the idea that KS campaigns are typically viewed as a one shot deal. It's important to pick your rewards and funding goals accordingly. If you pick them incorrectly you blow your shot.
If that's not the case then KS becomes a much less interesting place where people abuse it to raise funds.

Yes, they did. Yes, it's all a bit dodgy, especially when you consider $10k of their Kickstarter funding isn't really crowd-sourced at all, coming from Appcelerator (who acquired the Pixate founders' previous company)

I don't know anything about RubyMotion or Pixate, but can we also size and position the buttons in the view with CSS?
For example, instead of writing all the UI code in Ruby, could we just add the buttons and labels without specifying a position, size, alignment and so forth and do it all with CSS instead?

Nice, not familiar with Pixate, but I wonder if the author has considered making this work with SCSS too :) That'd be pretty bad ass if it could be done fairly easily and would be nice for styling nested layouts.

In a different conversation about Pixate (a few days back) I mentioned LESS and SCSS/SASS and I suspect as long as you write your CSS parts to conform with Pixate's standards, your SCSS code should work fine since the pre-processor will compile it down to CSS anyways.
Didn't think Kickstarter allowed that.

Curious for my own sake :)
