When I encourage/cheerlead my extremely technically talented friends to “monetize their hobbies”, I am picturing exactly this.

A hyper technical, perfectly executed, fun/whimsical/smart product. You can share all the source code and have build instructions! And sell assembled versions and make a buck! And hopefully make money / thrive/survive doing what… you love?

((The reality, ofc, is that in the hardware biz, getting more orders can just mean a ton of additional problems re logistics of making, assembling and shipping the thing. But I still naively think that’s a good problem..?))

Extraordinary Clock, truly. Cheers, congrats on launching and wishing you all the sales!
