I work on Salesforce every single day. Irrespective of the project or the build at hand, there are some common apps or setup pages that I need to open like profiles or permission sets or even the dev console etc.

For example, currently, if I need to open the profiles page, there are a couple of clicks involved. First I need to click on the gear icon, click on Setup, wait for the page to load... search for profiles, click on the profiles link and then go to the profiles page.

So I thought “What if, I could skip all of that and go straight to the profiles page with just a press of a button?” and the rest is history!

After 6 months’ worth of weekends, late nights, research, designing, building, failing and refusing to give up, it turned out to be a beautiful combination of hardware and software and I am super excited to introduce the latest iteration of my macro keyboard project.
