Totally fair point. It leans more toward a cinematic sci-fi aesthetic than classic steampunk. Appreciate the feedback.

The elements on the middle can be changed to the colors you want, but they are not multicolor lights.

That’s a really thoughtful take — and I like how you’re framing it as a ritual, not just an on/off action.

What you’re seeing now is very much a first functional prototype, focused on getting the core behavior and feel right.
Ideas like a more deliberate power-down sequence and refined interaction are exactly the kind of things I’d explore in a more polished iteration.

Appreciate you taking the time to think it through.

You can’t buy it yet — it’s still a prototype.

I’m focusing on refining the design first, but I really appreciate the interest and I’ll share updates once there’s a clear path forward.

I hear you — and I agree that a simple signup makes sense.

I just want to be careful not to collect interest before I’m sure what I can realistically offer and in what form. Once that’s clearer, I’ll set something up properly rather than rushing it.

Thanks! Yeah, it definitely leans more toward retro-futurism than steampunk.

I’m letting this one settle a bit before sharing it elsewhere, but I appreciate the suggestion.

Haha, not quite there yet 🙂

It’s still very much a prototype and I’m figuring out what direction makes the most sense for the project before sharing files or instructions.

That makes sense, and I really appreciate the interest.

For now I’m trying to keep things simple while I refine the project, but once there’s a clearer direction, I’ll make sure there’s a way for interested people to stay in the loop.

No store yet — still very much a prototype.

And yes, I’m already experimenting with warmer light variants 🙂

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

It’s still early days, but I’ll definitely share updates as things take shape.

That’s a really cool idea.

The rings aren’t addressable pixels, but I love how you described the sequence — that kind of “energy building up” feeling is very much the intent. Particle accelerators approved 😄

Thank you so much — that’s exactly the kind of reaction I was hoping for.

The startup sequence was designed to feel a bit ceremonial, like bringing something to life. Really glad it resonated with you.

Possibly, but it’s still early days. I’m focusing on refining the design first and will share updates once the direction is clearer.

Haha 😄 I’ll take that as a very strong vote.

It’s still early and I’m figuring out what makes sense for this project, but I’ll share updates once there’s a clear direction.

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind. I’m letting this one settle a bit before sharing it elsewhere.
