First, I have no affiliation with this project, just interested by it and wanted others with greater knowledge to chime in as to whether it may be a useful tool.

Not knowing what it is, my lady sent me this kickstarter link (probably the last time she will do that). After reading it seems to fill a void I have not been able to tackle: conical gravity measurement. I have read of other digital hydrometers that seem to not account for volume changes and that just will not work for me (5 and 10 gallon batches and not always the most exact in final volumes). This device seems to scratch that itch. Since I detest iOS I messaged them and they plan on adding Android support and maybe Mac OS (chipset works with linux/pi and I don't use Windows unless I have to so I didnt bother)
What are your thoughts? Snake oil or a new and improved cog in the brewing process?
