Don't be.. salty. :-\

WHAT? No Shake Weight incorporation??? You've got to be kidding me! What type of stupid idiot would leave out such basic functionality??? :doh: :doh: :doh: At the minimum, use the power generated to run the other functions when the electricity goes out! And get healthier at the same time! Come on, now! The name is hinted at in the item being replaced - salt Shaker! Dummys! I guess it is time to get into some IoT and make the big bucks.

Ah! So! I see the idea, but you aren't taking it quite far enough. You shake a salt cellar to dispense salt, yes? So what this needs is a "shake to charge" system. Given that the dispense is motorised, quarter of an hour of shaking should provide enough charge to dispense salt for one person (and run the WiFi for a while). :-D

I don't know what's worst... that someone came with the idea... or that it already raised almost $10k

Think "dot com" bubble of the 90's, I suspect.

It's worse than that: "Embedded" software was useful! :laugh:

$9,426 USD raised by 0 backers I don't know about you - But I find it pretty impressive that they can fund 30% of their project from external users without actually receiving funding!

It's in good company with those IoT sex toys. Seriously though, how lazy are we that we need the refrigerator to tell us we're out of milk or a salt shaker to tell is it's empty?

This gave me a vision of a landfill full of dispensed IoT devices, a million voices crying out in harmony for connectivity. Creepy.
