At the end of the campaign, on July 10, 2019, the participation objective was reached with more than €58,000 raised.

A test platform was put online on October 15, 2019, to allow supporters of the project to discover the tool and to provide first impressions away from the general public.

The first version was planned for the first half of 2020. On June 22, 2020, at the time of the beta3 release, version 1 is pushed back to autumn 20208. On October 27th, the first version is officially launched.
