On Air: My First Product Launch

A couple days ago, I launched my first product, On Air. On Air is a Mac menubar app that controls your smart devices when an event occurs.

Backstory:
After working from home for about 6 months, I wanted a way to let my two young children know that I was in a meeting, and I couldn't be interrupted. We tried hanging signs on the door, but that didn't work. Then, I thought about a "do not disturb"/"on air" light. What if I could turn on a light when I was in a meeting?

I work on the second floor of my house, and the rest of my family spends most of their time downstairs. I didn't want to have to walk downstairs to turn on and off a light, so I started investigating how to control a light from my computer - specifically, when my camera was on. I hacked some code together and built a terminal script to turn on/off a WiFi light when my camera turned on/off.

After a couple months of on & off development, I decided to launch this thing, knowing full well I wasn't pleased with the end product & that there is a mountain of things I'd like to add & improve.
