@mntmn Are you building Reform on your own, or are you building a team?

I've flirted with the idea of bringing a machine of my own "to market" but I'm not sure if it's realistic to do it alone.

@jjg started with a team of 2 (industrial designer and me), now 4. couldn’t have done it alone.

I'm reading about beta-1 on your website now, thank-you for documenting the experience!

Any advice for someone considering this path?

@jjg my advice won’t be don’t overcomplicate anything, the basics will be hard enough ;)

@mntmn That's good to hear, I'm hoping to keep things simple.

One of the hardest parts to me is balancing the desire to make the machine open with the practicality of getting something done.
