Solo Mac dev, first big launch, suspiciously calm

Hi everyone, Ben here.

I am a solo developer, and for the past months I have been building Atheria, a native Mac app that turns your desktop into living, real-time generative art.

It launches here on July 28. I keep waiting for the launch panic everyone describes, but the prep is done and everything is measured and approved, so mostly I am just fighting the urge to hit the button NOW lol.

Before this I built a small iOS app studio (Embra Archive), but Atheria is the first thing I have made that my beta testers actually fight me for early builds of, so I figured it deserved a proper Product Hunt launch.

Happy to talk Mac development, generative art, performance obsession (I measure everything), or the solo-dev launch experience. If you have launched here before, I will gratefully absorb any wisdom.
