24 alternatives to WWDC enamel pins inspired by developer culture
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.

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.
