Will it have all the features of a Yubikey? I have two YubiKeys right now. One with NFC and one USB-C. I would love to just have one, and open source is a plus. I also use the NFC one for 2FA code storage. I then can use my laptop or phone to retrieve a code.

  Not at the beginning. We're starting FIDO2/U2F only, but we'll have the possibility to upgrade the firmware. PGP/SSH are the top feature requests, TOTP we'll have to look into it, if the way yubikeys are doing it is open, we're happy to be compatible.

Interesting. This solves about half of my problems. I use four devices regularly: a Windows desktop with USB, an MBP with USB-C, a 6th Gen iPad (Lightning), and an iPhone X (Lightning + NFC). What I'd really like to see is a small device that lets me use USB, USB-C, Lightning, or NFC with the same token without a handful of dongles to deal with. I get how difficult that is, but I've yet to see anything that supports more than one physical standard. Even USB and USB-C in the same device would solve most of my problem, leaving only my iPad to deal with a dongle due to its lack of NFC.

  As of today most people seem to want a hole to attach it to a keyring. So it's kind of hard to have even usb-a on one side and usb-c on the other side. Let alone lightning. If you want to give it a try, we'll open source the hardware soon under CC BY-SA. It'd be great to see what you come up with.

Sounds interesting, the big thing for me is GPG support though - U2F is actually my secondary use case. Working on plugins is good, but I'd want to know it was equivalently useful for me.
