Who could have imagined the endgame of software development is… hardware?

by

I’m a software developer, and for the past 12 years I’ve been building software — first as an employee, and later on my own independent projects.

I started out as a web developer, then realized that to deliver a truly great user experience, I needed native apps. So I taught myself iOS and Android. Over the last six years, the to-do list app I built has grown a solid base of users.

A few years ago, a new idea popped into my head:
maybe the ultimate user experience isn’t another native app at all… it’s hardware.
Only by breaking free from phones and computers could this product really feel “free.”

With that in mind, I jumped into hardware development.
Luckily, with AI moving so fast today, crossing from software into hardware isn’t as impossible as it used to sound. Now I’d call myself a true “full-stack” maker — working across software, servers, AI agents, and hardware.

After a full year of work, my hardware product is finally here.

It’s an extension of my to-do list app, a bridge from the digital world into the physical one. Just as I imagined, once it escapes the phone and laptop, it suddenly feels like it can do so much more.

I’m excited (and a bit nervous) to launch it here on Product Hunt.
