I’m the Founder/CEO of a startup called Privo Mobile. We’re building a dumb phone designed for kids with a modern user experience and interface. Other companies try to collect as much data about you as possible and want you to spend more time on your phone. We’re designing a phone to do the opposite. We [launched today on Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/privomobile/privo-mobile-a-dumb-phone-for-modern-times). Hope you check it out, and let us know any ideas you have for how we can make our tech even more humane. ---

Good news that you guys launched on kickstarter. I’m going to spread the word hoping that you’ll hit the target ASAP. ---

Nice project. I posted to our [LinkedIn group](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6691040307523547136) too. Did you create a submission on Hacker News yet, like [this phone project](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23906566) that just featured? Also [indiehackers.com](http://indiehackers.com) may be a good place. PS. On linkedin there appeared no SEO link preview and such. Dunno why. ---

Did you remove it again? It is shown as [dead]. A title of “A dumb phone for modern times, designed for kids” may be a better title, though it is always the question if it makes it to the frontpage. ---

Strange, that one is also dead now. Maybe you could make it a “Show HN: [title]”, since it is your project. **Edit** : Maybe it is because of the word Dumb in the title in combination with you having a new account. ---
