    I just published the source code for the first app I ever built, all the way back in 2003: https://github.com/aaronbrethorst/irooster

    It "turns your Mac into a $2,000 alarm clock."

    I originally made it because I had endless amounts of trouble waking up for my morning classes in college, and found that the only alarm that could get me up was a subwoofer right underneath my bed. So I hooked a 2.1 speaker system up to my Mac, wrote a little app to start playing an iTunes playlist at a particular time, and ended up productizing it.

    It was never a huge commercial success; I think the best I ever did with it was about $2,000 in sales one month after Apple featured it in a newsletter (different times!), but it taught me several important lessons about building a commercial software product that still guide me today.

    Enjoy checking out my super janky code!
