Show HN: WWDC enamel pins inspired by developer culture

5 points by S4phyre ↗ HN
Hi HN,

I’ve been attending WWDC for ~16 years, and over time I noticed that people remember the small moments more than the announcements.

Since 2017, Apple has been giving collectible pins, and they became a small part of the culture.

When WWDC went fully online, that disappeared.

So I started designing my own enamel pins inspired by those moments.

I ran campaigns in 2021 and 2024 (both produced and shipped), and just launched a new one for 2026 — currently ~75% funded after a week.

Happy to answer questions about the process or manufacturing.

If anyone here has run a Kickstarter or manufactured physical products, I’d love to hear your experience as well.
