Check my karma: It's not spam. It really is really well built. Should be: took them years to get it built, I bought into their kickstarter early. That said, I learned huge amounts about building hardware from their engineering blog, strongly recommend it.

I have had one since around April, and the hardware quality is good. Their blog also shows where they had to change processes because their QA caught things like the header plastic warping and is a good source of how to bring a product to market in the middle of a pandemic. I do feel like their software quality, while functional, could stand some polish, but it's fine. I'm currently working on making an add-on board for its gpio pins.

No, just very happy hacker backers. I've been messing with mine for the past few hours now and love it.

I have a couple friends with them and ordered mine about a month ago, should be delivered any day. I've only heard good things about this device, I really don't think it's spam.
