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):

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!

I'm currently in the hobby stage of a project. It's great to see people going from hobby to shipping.

Very cool. Good luck with the project!
