Very inspiring. I'm myself starting a similar journey with my first hardware product (https://getgumball.com https://getgumball.com) and it's really reassuring that it is possible to do something like this in "solo" mode. We hear a tone of people doing it in the SaaS work, but not so much in hardware - if anybody here knows other similar examples, I'd love to hear about it!

Looks cool! FYI, the About/FAQ/Pre-Order links at the top of your site are currently broken.

  Oh thanks! Yes, this website is still very much a work in progress I do it the "#buildinbuplic" way, so some content on the website still needs to be created / improved.

Noice. If I were still working in an office, I would 100% get one!

Fun concept and congrats on the product! I’ve shipped out the first few units of my solo project a couple of weeks ago (a super niche tool for DJ's): https://cardinia.net/mini/ https://cardinia.net/mini/ Feels good to follow through from a hobby project to an actual shipping product. Its been fun re-igniting all the things learnt during electronic engineering classes back in university. What is an interesting contrast is that by day i'm a web/ios software engineer where memory and disk is largely plentiful, but by night i work on cramming TCP/IP + USB stacks and real-time audio decoding threads into less than 80KiB of RAM on a Cortex-M4 MCU. Currently busy ramping up production of a small batch of units and adding checkout to the website.

  Great product! >Feels good to follow through from a hobby project to an actual shipping product. I'm currently in the hobby stage of a project. It's great to see people going from hobby to shipping.
