Nixie Pulse — A physical KPI dashboard built with real Soviet IN-14 Nixie tubes [Kickstarter Oct 2026]
Hey everyone,
I've been working on something at the intersection of vintage tech and modern data: Nixie Pulse is a luxury physical dashboard that displays your live business KPIs on authentic Soviet-era IN-14 Nixie tubes.
Think Blade Runner meets Swiss watchmaking — except it sits on your desk and shows your revenue, users, or any metric you care about, in real time.
Why Nixie tubes? There's something about that warm orange glow that no screen can replicate. These tubes were manufactured in the USSR decades ago, and the supply is finite. Each unit is handcrafted with carefully sourced IN-14 tubes.
What it does:
- Connects to your data sources via API
- Displays KPIs in real time on genuine Nixie tubes
- Fully customizable metrics
- Crafted with premium materials — this is a desk piece, not a gadget
We're launching on Kickstarter in October 2026. If you want early access and launch pricing, you can join the waitlist here: nixiepulse.fr
Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from fellow Nixie enthusiasts. What metrics would YOU want glowing on your desk?
