I was wondering too so I found the kickstarter. It's some kind of personal feed reader server: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2000892040/fred-feed-rea...
I am surprised by this trend — put a project on kickstarter and promise to open source it. Build it on tech that's been open sourced for free.
Trying to stay positive here. But haven't they heard of the millions of people who contribute to (quality) open source software every day?
