I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]:
> If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos.
Hopefully I did that?
Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub:

Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

Show HN: OnAir – create link, receive calls (Score: 152+ in 9 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6hZeM
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6hZeM
Hello HN community,
This is bootstrapped/indie hacker-ish. Would appreciate feedback.
What it is: You create a link (e.g. onair/yourname), and anyone can call you from it. Caller uses a web browser to make the call (not dedicated app). You can create as many links as you want, and can direct calls to colleagues in a round-robin or escalation manner.
In a way, it's like the "opposite of Calendly"; whereas Calendly is about meetings in the future, OnAir is about immediate meetings.
Motivation behind it: One of our SaaS products was struggling to grow. We believed that if we provide more "hand holding" to visitors on the landing page, it will increase conversion. It's like speaking to the guy behind the counter before making a purchase. That idea/experiment, over time, became OnAir.
Feedback: Identifying the perfect use case / customer has not been easy. E-Commerce store owners, which I thought would be ideal customer profile, are not responding as expected (e.g. "why use this instead of a WhatsApp button?"). The value of branded links, round-robin, recording/transcription, lead capture, etc does not seem to matter much to them. Ideas are welcome.
