What I learned selling 2,500 MIDI recorders: Hardware is not so hard
A year and a half ago , I launched Jamcorder .
It marked the completion of two life goals of mine.
First, I finally had the piano recording device Iβd always wanted: a fully automated device that captures everything I play, no human-involvement required.
And second, after a career in software, I got to build hardware. It was super fun.
2500 units have already been sold, and counting! People genuinely love it! And itβs able to stand on its own feet as a business. In my eyes, thatβs a success.
For my first blog post, I want to reflect on the biggest surprise I encountered creating Jamcorder.
