Socialights - Clean Desktop Notification

thingiverse

This sleek, minimalist desktop notification device shines brightly when notifications arrive, its blank surface glowing softly until then, inspired by the trendy 3D printed lithophane phenomenon. Folding flat to a mere fraction of an inch thick, this ingenious device travels easily with you to every workspace, staying always at your fingertips. Its electronic heartbeat is still in development, leveraging IFTTT and Arduino to illuminate its LEDs as notifications pour in from your phone. Future updates will reveal more captivating photos and step-by-step instructions! UPDATE: June 14, 2019 After a minor setback, the device's design has been refined: the backing of the Gmail logo was too thin to produce a clear image, so it's now thicker; the support structure has also been tweaked to ensure a snug fit with the front face.
