Exactly what I want to be for now. A universal remote control for shared spaces.

In the future, open source software & hardware for the benefit of people. I like FUTO's mission.

openinfraredon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)

I left my job to work with the technologies (embedded rust, SQL, custom PCBs, typescript & angular, more rust server side) and practices I'd been dying to use and build a solution for a problem I had. A big part was also the desire to control complexity and lead product direction instead of taking assignments knowing they were the wrong direction for the products and their consumers.

It's an instant remote control built for shared spaces. Anyone can use the remote with a QR code on their mobile device. Since its IoT there are lots of interesting features including permissions, various remote interfaces, universal remote capabilities and more.
