It looks like it probably won't matter. The site says you can preorder a DevKit "Shipping between June and September 2025."

The fact that they haven't updated that webpage with new information since October 1st 2025 seems to indicate bad news...

The founder puts regular updates on his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RS2igvW3DIk

Shortly put, they're going through hardware startup woes but will probably make it out the other end just fine.

I preordered one, I got it, and I sold it. They are active on Discord. Why did I sell it? The shortcomings of the platform made me realize I should just go with UI, despite my reservations about the company.
It's hard to tell considering there is absolutely no company/ownership information on the site, but a .si (Slovenia) domain coupled with EUR being an accepted currency has me thinking they're Europe-based, and therefore foreign-made.

... at the same time, I don't think I'd send $100 to a site with no contact/ownership/company info to begin with.
