Here's the problem statement:
I work from home, and have five kids (*under five). My wife is an absolute rock star, but sometimes there's 💩 and she wouldn't mind a hand. Sometimes I'm just catching up on Slack and popping out to help would be welcomed. Other times I'm on a call with a client and only hospital-worthy interruptions are welcome. ...how do I best communicate to her what "status" I'm in?

What I'm thinking is:
- using my already kinda crazy time-tracking habits where I'm already tracking what "status" I'm in and use that data with a hook...
- pull that information out and put it in a web-interface (or a native app?) she can get to on her phone, and use one of my old iPhones laying around and have it displayed on the outside of my office door

She's smart and can interpret the ability for her to interrupt my status.

Is there already a solution for this that I'm missing?

Not a bad idea…then have that calendar on an old iPhone mounted….now we’re talkin’

I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery truck for my first "not original" set of Cherry MX switches for my ZSA Moonlander... Now that I'm sharing my office with my wife I'm trying out the Speed Silver switches vs my Browns....

Am I becoming a keyboard person? Oh Uh.

The difference is really subtle but I like the "less force" to type feeling.

If you're wanting to diver deeper into the switches here's two podcast episodes (of course I would 🙈) about each:

I'm realizing that my podcast summary and transcription app might be really helpful for people who are hard of hearing. I don't know anyone who is, though. Is anyone here hard of hearing or could someone introduce me to them?

Thanks
