Not just the blog but Tindie as well all under the umbrella(Supplyframe) they brought for $0.7m. "The expected revenue of Supplyframe for the fiscal year 2021 is around $70 million with profit margins typical for the software business." sure does make for a different perspective upon the offer and on the basis of that, along with the growth in that area of hobby electronics. I figure for the buyer, it's a bargain and on the face of it, could of sold for more.

[EDIT ADD} OK been pointed out I slipped few points on that value and it's $700m which with that turnover makes way more sense. But epic Doh moment and hands up on that laugh.

$0.7b*!
Thank you - added an edit in time, epic brain fart upon my part that and certainly makes the price with the turnover balance out more as a much fairer deal.
Good you were able to get the edit in before the 2hr window closed! For what it's worth, I appreciate when people are transparent about edits. However if you're just correcting a minor typo or fixing some grammar in a way that doesn't alter the original point I think you can safely just go ahead and edit in-place with maybe a "Edit: Oops, changing $foo to $bar. Well spotted, $user!" if you want to be super open about it.

My comments often go through multiple revisions like this in the first ~5 minutes or so. If dang has any ability to see or query these edits I wouldn't be surprised if they discovered my "edits per word" is among the highest in HN :D
