“I started Mostly Harmless in 2016 with the goal of (somehow) building a sustainable business out of providing affordable, accessible hardware solutions that could complement the extensive body of free software tools that already existed. Starting with hackable, mechanical keyboards, this 'obsession' with do-it-yourself, hackable hardware has broadened to include a whole lot more.
The core values espoused here are the most fundamental values that I personally live my life by. I don't sell or offer anything that I am not using myself. I don't sell or offer anything that I've not first used (and suffered through!) sufficiently.
I don't intend to build or use anything that would use proprietary software, spy on its users or surveill them, take advantage of them or disrespect them in any way. Looking forward to working with you in sustaining this wonderful world of ethical and hackable products and solutions!”Abhas Abhinav
