September 2018

September was the hottest month for the product and its heart – the Printed Circuit Board. Hardware team in Zielona Góra worked in weekly sprints with Andy the founder and designer to reach planned prototyping stage by Early October.

August 2018

The month of change. We started cooperating with the ZG Team -The hardware team in Zielona Góra with WhatsApp as our tool of choice for remote project management. Everything was basically started from scratch here with an aim to end up with a Ready to Manufacture Prototype around September / October.

Working with students in Kraków on product renders and first prototyping boards. Guys did a great job at this early stage. We did 2 trips to Kraków and worked together from local Hackerspace trying to finalise the feature set.

Jan – March 2018

Andy does the coming out with his idea – Timeqube. Based on a simple prototype made out of cube-shaped lamp bought off Ali Express. The idea catches on publicity on Facebook and is a direct trigger for Andy to move on with the project.

Late 2017

3 years later, Andy converts his idea into the first ever prototype. He does this with his friend Patrick who knows his ways with Raspberry PI and Arduino.
