Lovely site full of lovely products.
@travisjtodd in the main feed the highlight indicating "X% funded" consistently drew my eye to projects that were already successfully funded over ones that might need my help to make it to their goal. Was that intentional? For me crowd-funding is always at least a little about helping a project make it & feeling slightly more altruistic than when I do plain shopping. I assume on product end, a higher percentage of funded products is better for ecosystem. I wonder if visual treatments for categories like "just added" or "close to target" might help draw attention to more in-need projects over completed ones?
@ecetweets Great feedback thanks. We've been trying to find a good way to highlight the projects that are ending soon and "just born."

Here's some projects that immediately caught my attention:
Ceramic Balloons:"Gravity is an unavoidable scientific phenomenon, much like aging, that we encounter; it piqued my interest and inspired me to create these ceramic balloons."
+
Radish Lamp:"The idea of my project is to make vegetables more attractive by celebrating their aesthetic appeal, making it fun and providing them a new function by making a light piece out of them."
+
FlipFlops:
"FlipFlops are bracelets made from the old plastic sandals that float down the river in Mali."
@travisjtodd Hey Travis. From what I can tell at a first viewing, the design and UX are pretty good. There's no confusion, the navigating is easy, and everything looks beautiful. Definitely worth upvoting and browsing. :)
@jasoncomely Thanks James. It's been owned by our chairman and founder for a while.

@travisjtodd Flash site for sporting goods? That's funny. Your concept is a *much* better fit for that domain.
Thanks for the wonderful answer, and for inspiring us.
