#72Oh my, this is something I've been wanting to create. Something simple like an illuminated on-air sign outside my office door. This is awesome, and awesomely over-engineered.
Check out BlyncLights from Embrava. Much simpler and cheaper. I've installed them in a few companies and have one at home so my wife knows when I'm in a meeting or free.

I'm planning to use this at home to defend my focus from myself! That idea definitely goes both ways.

#74Does this really beat a printed BUSY clipart taped to my screen? It's far from the first product I see like this and the question is always the same.
You can also have this update your status on Slack or whatever other relevant platforms support such updates.
If you're frequently on call I guess it's a cool product, but then again nothing a red ON AIR light can't do for a fraction of the price.

#75People be so busy they need to buy a hacker-friendly device and build bespoke integrations with it.

Some people actually like being in an office.
I wouldn't mind working hybrid and going to an office 2-3 days/week as long as the commute was under 20 minutes.

Re: Busy Status Bar
#79Messing with this thing sure seems like a great way to stay focused.

#80I might buy this to use as follows. I want a work-time tracker that lights a bright LED every 5 minutes or so, and as long as I'm there and working I smash a button and the light goes off for another 5 minutes. Some algorithm tracks the times I have hit the button and displays how long I have been working on said task. I'm picturing something fairly cheap, like a stop watch or 3 button kitchen timer. A LED, a few but…
Add an alarm to play VERY LOUD if the button is not pressed in a 5-7 minute window to keep you working. If you fail to do so the entire office/house has to hear your alarm going off
