Hello Shirley and all: Thank you for sending out this email with some of the words of the CEO. I clicked on the links provided to access the kickstarter project and I received a 404 error … bad link or some glitch quoting the website :).
Could anyone see if they receive different results than I. And, if the result is the same, can anyone provide a way to reach the developers? I for one would like to investigate how I can support tap tap see remaining as inexpensive as possible. Thank you for your time. Take good care and I wish you enough.
