Rather than make you sift through all of these projects, we’re tracking down the best or most notable crowdfunding projects from around the web and delivering them to you in a simple roundup. If there’s a project that you’ve backed – or even a project that you founded – be sure to leave a link below so it can be considered for the next roundup. Check out our complete list of roundups here.
Sprav: Turn your shower into a smart shower (Kickstarter project) – My love for smart devices is never-ending, and the Sprav is yet another perfect example of why I love this next generation technology. Clipping right on to your current shower head, it tracks the amount of water flowing through while you shower. With an LED indicator light at the top that use the same colors as a traffic light, one glance provides you with quick feedback about how much water you’ve gone through.Topping it off, it hooks up to your phone through Bluetooth so you can graph water usage over time.
Python Cords – Utilitarian MacBook Charger Protection (Kickstarter project) – About a year ago, I was using my computer when I started hearing electrical sparks near my outlet. As it turned out, my Magsafe adapter was completely broken and just about to start a fire. Python Cords are the solution to this problem. With a really cool installation process, the cord and fastener make sure that your cords don’t twist too hard and start breaking.
SideCar: Laptop to Tablet Connector (Kickstarter project) – With all of the screen-sharing apps that let you extend your MacBook’s screen onto your iPad, the SideCar comes in as the perfect complement to place both devices side-by-side.
ChargeDrive: A Charger Cable, Flash Drive, and Tripod Mount (Kickstarter project) – A few other multi-purpose tech tools have been featured here, but the ChargeDrive’s industrial design is extremely appealing.
Rebel Speakers – Water Resistant Bluetooth Speak & Speakerphone (Indiegogo project) – It’s a Bluetooth speaker. It works in your shower. Twenty bucks. Delivers this month. How much better could it get?
