Amazing. I'm glad you don't ship outside of the US 'cause I would be insanely tempted to buy this completely superfluous gadget. Love everything about it, from the idea and its negative utility to design and materials.

Are there any details available? Dimensions, charging, etc?

Actually, this can be used as a presentation clicker, right? There you go, business expense.

I looked at my site analytics and realized this is where it was coming from :-o

I should turn on international shipment, but Stripe doesn't support auto calculate rates. CNC machined from aluminum. USB C. I did test it with powerpoint just now, works!

International turned on

Are you the author?

I noticed you've been adding additional information in response to many comments, which led me to believe you might be the creator of this doomscroller. However, I didn't see any mention of you being the author.

Typically, on Hacker News, when the original poster is not the author and the author discovers that one of their works is trending, they promptly join the discussion, usually starting with "author here.."

This isn't a strict rule but more of a best practice or convention.

Anyway, excellent work!

Is that not a way of saying “author here, …”?

[enderfusion]

Good to know, I'm new here!

You're very welcome!

It does ship internationally now.

I really like imagining how people of the future (like hundreds of years in the future) looking at our current culture and technology will try to interpret things that I seem to get without thinking. Like, if they dug up my home and found this thing sitting in a drawer what kind of wild theories would they come up before they eventually realized, "This human valued something that actually did less than nothing."

If that concept amuses you, you should check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/Motel-Mysteries-David-Macaulay/dp/039...

This is a really good book, thank you.

I mean, usually when archeologists don't understand a device they just end up chucking it in the "religious device" bin. Not that would exactly be wrong here, but you know.

This honestly made me chuckle even more, thanks for that.
