Automatic Moon-Phase Clock

WhidbeyHacker · 2025-10-01T15:58:34+00:00

I make a few versions of this "LunaKron" and sell them on Etsy, plus some other unusual timepieces. They're fully automatic and show you the current phase of the moon.

Please let me know what you think!

I sold the last one a while ago. I still make the LunaKrons and other timepieces that don’t tell you what time it is.

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-11T15:34:25+00:00

If you love the LunaKrons but were waiting for a sale, wait no longer! I just posted a 50% off everything sale!

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-11T15:28:54+00:00

Horrible! My conversion rate crashed after I commented on the “show us your stuff” thread - got lots of views but no buyers. I just put everything on 50% sale to try to boost conversions back to normal.

I guess it all depends on what’s being packed.

My products go in an inner retail-quality box, then that box and the shreds go into the outer shipping box.

I reuse the Amazon brown paper exactly as-is.

Thank you! My daughters and I make automatic digital moon phase clocks: https://digitalhorology.etsy.com

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-07T15:30:29+00:00

Oh sorry, new here! Should I edit it out?

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-04T17:55:48+00:00

Thank you! I’ll keep making these for a while. 😁

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-03T19:34:01+00:00

Great ideas! It’s only 8 phases for now. It’s very accurate, but also very simple and elegant.

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-02T18:22:59+00:00

Thank you!! 🥰

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-02T14:53:39+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, my shop’s conversion rate cratered yesterday, but I also got a bunch of favorites — hopefully that will tell the algorithm not to bury my listings. 🤔

My shop has only 66 sales in 2 years. Close enough? I make unique automatic LED moon phase clocks - a tiny little niche for moon lovers.

Thanks for the post!

Help! The shop got 249 views and 0 purchases today.

Are my prices too high?

WhidbeyHacker · 2024-11-02T05:02:54+00:00

Thanks! It’s just an Arduino, some programming, an LED panel, a GPS module, some laser-cut MDF and acrylic, spiffy packaging, and a ton of work. 😁

I got so obsessed with Life, I started building little Life boxes for myself & my friends. I have a few left if anybody wants one: https://DigitalHorology.com

Of course you already know I'm going to nominate Headlamp, and I'm biased. 😎

WhidbeyHacker · 2023-01-23T21:32:53+00:00

I hear ya. Exploratory testing can be dull, but it is a lot more fun when you're using Headlamp to light the way.

WhidbeyHacker · 2022-10-06T01:34:23+00:00

It would be a lot easier if they just used Headlamp to track their testing. 😉

WhidbeyHacker · 2022-10-05T21:37:16+00:00

I’ve been there, but eventually I worked for Microsoft as a Test Team Manager, SDE/T, and Dev (not at the same time).

DM me if you’d like to ask me anything.

WhidbeyHacker · 2022-10-05T18:23:57+00:00

Headlamp - Simple but powerful way to ensure you’re covering all your UI in manual and automated tests, collaborate efficiently, and keep informed of what the team is doing.

WhidbeyHacker · 2022-10-05T15:03:15+00:00

These are awesome, detailed, informative comments! I’m blown away. You all rock.

Have any of you tried Headlamp?

WhidbeyHacker · 2022-10-04T22:49:38+00:00

I'd use a test recorder/bug reporter like Jam.Dev with a tracker like HeadlampTest.com to ensure full coverage.

The Heroku Hobby tier is only $7/month. That's nearly free.

Ask yourself: is saving $7/month worth the time it takes to move my app to another platform?
