Looks very nice, impressive features. I should look more into this, and see if you're competetive with "local" (=manufactured in Asia but through a local distributor, typically) alternatives.

Btw, a typo: the PCB validation says "too close to the boarder of the board" when it, of course, means "border".

We refer the orders from circuits.io to oshpark. That's why our boards are purple ;) I thing they produce the boards in the US.
I just tried out OSH Park with an existing circuit board that I had made elsewhere earlier this year. Their quality is excellent and the purple soldermask is cool. Prices are just unbelievable. My board originally cost me about $40 with shipping for two units of an approximately 1"x1" board (no silkscreen or mask) with 3 day turnaround using a vendor I've used many times before. This was the cheapest of my usual vendors.

The OSHPark boards were 3 units for $5, shipping included! The only drawback is that I had to wait about 3 weeks, but there are a lot of small boards that I don't need quick turnaround on. I'm definitely using them again!

Oops! I'll fix that ASAP. I've been coding late nights :)
