Grab the #pxlclock VS Code extension ("PXL Clock), code your own pixogram in #csharp, and ping me here: I'll record it on the real hardware and post the video.
Who makes the coolest one?

#pxlclock #csharp #fsharp
From sourcecode to step-by-step tutorial: I wanted to advertise the #pxlclock using programming tutorials. So I built this:
- AI breaks the #csharp code into steps; thanks @ursenzler.bsky.social
- Renders animations
- Writes tutorial
- Remotion makes the reel
Want a video about how I did that?
Happy Friday :)
Program your own Pixogram — in VS Code.
PXL Clock #vscode extension is out:
• Built-in simulator, zero setup
• Live preview + hot reload
• Publish to your clock in one click
Write C#, see pixels. No device needed.

My recording "studio" is my kitchen. No regrets — it's the coziest room in the house.
Setting things up to film #csharp coding tutorials for the #pxlclock. Write code, run it on the simulator, watch it glow on the real thing.
First tutorials dropping soon. Stay tuned!

Today I reworked the appearance of the #pxlclock app. The device takes screenshots of a running clock face and uses it as image to show to the user. Now we can see all the beautiful work of @ursenzler.bsky.social in a single list without imagination :)
While crafting the #csharp API for #pxlclock, I asked my code monkey to add some static scenes for all the API we added.
Look what it made - without further specification :)
That's amazing: Someone created something like an "analogue #pxlclock " :) Here: dodocraft.com Cool!
When I tell that #pxlclock is hand-made, this means: Man, it's hand-made! I swear - for real ;) You see Sefa in Action - life and in color, soldering the 2 boards for the clock. Thank god I'm a programmer... get your PXL Clock: pxlclock.com
🌈 After 2 years of serious side-project hustle, we’ve built a limited batch of 100 PXL Clocks - premium programmable clock for developers and design lovers.
Use code "fsharp" for a 50€ discount and bring light into your workspace.

#fsharp #pxlclock #csharp #pixelart
A programmable device for #csharp and #fsharp hobbyists? A beautiful hand-crafted piece of furniture? Or both?
Order your #pxlclock now (1st batch limited to 100 units): www.pxlclock.com
#pxlclock is finally here 🎉
Hand-built and crafted, with 576 glowing 3D pixels.
Only 100 units available right now - made with care, not mass-produced.
👉 www.pxlclock.com
PS: If you enjoy my #fsharp open-source work: this is a beautiful way to support it ❤️
Instead of heavy code generators, I now:
- write a step-by-step spec in code
- run a command manually
- repeat when needed
✅ keeps the benefits of metaprogramming
✅ minimal time & cost
✅ good enough for #pxlclock moving from #fsharp → #csharp
Sometimes simple wins.
Async in #pxlclock? Easy. Even in a render loop, it remembers state (like a Task) and hands you results when ready.
Now in #fsharp - soon #csharp, #typescript, #python… or maybe I'll write my own language - finally found a use case for it! 😏 #pixelart
We started #pxlclock as two good friends — Sefa & me.
Then, while scrolling through my media today, I found this video: Sefa - you made this! It’s amazing. I don’t know anyone with your skills, and you have my full respect.
100 units selling soon - Who with us for party? 🎉
Why we only sell 100 #pxlclock units?
Many reasons - main one is: We are manufacturing the clock all by ourselves! We solder AC adapters, boards, 3d-print parts, assemble, terminate cables / switches, +++
PXL Clock is hand-made manufacturing work! P.S.: ❤️ to my friend and partner Sefa 🤗
Years ago, I started building my own HTTP lib for #fsharp - #fshttp - and loved it, especially the connections to people.
Now, parts of our #pxlclock software are open source too, and it even got us to Google #1!
Only 100 clocks will be sold!
Please support us - comments & reposts appreciated 🤗
The first official #pxlclock order ever!! Shout out to @dawe.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy (sell if for billions in 10 years; after heavy inflation :), shout out to all #fsharp community for giving vibes (just ❤️ to all). @dsyme.bsky.social @scottwlaschin.bsky.social no 2 + 3 reserved whenever appreciated
Back to my high school roots, when I loved playing around with 3D Studio, Photoshop, and others.
For our #pxlclock, I gave myself a chance to reboot those skills – and crafted our Quickstart Manual 🙂
- Design experts – what’s your verdict?
- #dotnet friends: Goto GH and give your ideas a try :)
Believe it or not: one of the few (only?) hardware projects driven by #fsharp (yes – and #typescript) is a – guess – a FUN project! Yes ;) #pxlclock will bring beautiful colors into your rooms, and joy of programming your own ideas. Search pxlclock – buy one of only 💯 🙏🙏🙏🙏
When I think of IKEA, I picture colorful memories, fresh ideas, and clever little hacks that always bring a smile to my face.
So, next time you’re planning to build a pixel frame - just let us know 😉
P.S. Look closely 👀 ❤️
#pxlclock #pxlart
Shout out to all #fsharp / #dotnet / #typescript devs :) Soon we'll release the first 100 units of our #pxlclock, and you can help us AND be a part of it. How? By programming a PXL-App :) Visit github.com/CuminAndPota... and start coding right away 👍 🙏

… this is not 0:47 o’clock - this is „47 days until you might grab one of the first 100 units“ … #pxlclock
pxlclock.com
❤️ Gimmicks from time to time: for our upcoming sales site, we’ve programmed a „real-time“ #pxlclock :) there are some quirks due to not having all frames - see for yourself.
pxlclock.com
P.S.: has still some quirks, we’ll fix that :)
Done with #fsharp and #dotnet
… we are happy that all those things are in peace context - not a war, cruelty, violence situation that so many people face nowadays, which is terrible.
#pxlclock 4-ever
