Of course, I am against adding unnecessary stretch goals just for the sake of adding them, but here is my reasoning for the 'the earlier stretch goals come, the better' approach:
TOHKBD is not a common KS project. Only a narrow group (Jolla owners) can buy it and those have probably already bought it. Then there's the second group of potential Jolla buyers, but those can notice the project only in the first days, when it is featured on KS (or if there's some additional media coverage, but I haven't seen much of it yet).
Therefore if you add stretch goals after 10 days or so, there is a little target audience (it might be late already).

On the other hand, I can see that Dirk might not really need to boost the number of buyers - the goal has been reached and if not some substantial outsourcing is planned, more buyers means later delivery.

I still think some 'Thank you, we have reached the goal!' update should've happened, though (as is the habit on KS).
thankyou/faq/clarification message is being drafted, but had to discuss some stuff with jolla on what&how before i can send this

stretch goals is difficult, because adding stuff like oled/qi/nfc/solar/transparentsolar (someone even requested adding all into one) will increase complexity, add risks, prolong delivery and draws attention away from priority #1: the typing experience

what i can say is that by going over the goal i can focus full-time on this project and have the ability to buy some equipment that will make future development a lot faster and a lot cheaper.

What i would like to know:

Will this TOHKBD be compatible with the next jolla phone?

Can the 100€ discount offered by jolla also be used for purchasing their next phone?

Can a QI receiver pad be used together with the TOHKBD, or does the TOHKBD prevent the use of the jolla's power pins for anything else?
Could you maybe add a QI receiver pad as an option for the TOHKBD?

Also -as stated in my post just above yours- no.

Get it?

You need that jacket, that dog, that phone, that KBD and that Cup with black coffee when roaming the streets with style!

I would like to know: why did you ask this question? No one knows anything about the Jolla Phone 2 yet... no one's even sure what Jolla *might* have planned for JP2.

I hope you'll not abandon your other projects/orders completely, because I for one ordered some funky qi/solar OHs in anticipation of the kickstarter to support you in advance.
