First of all, congrats on your success!
Do you have any plans to productionize TinyPilot (pay someone to manufacture the entire device rather than selling kits)? I'm definitely in your target market, but I'd rather have something more streamlined looking that didn't require upfront assembly. I have seen folks that have had success reaching out to suppliers on Alibaba to get custom hardware built like this.

Yeah, that's one of my goals for the year. The manufacturing and fulfillment process is currently just out of my house and too fragile. It's tough to outsource right now because we're continuing to find new ways to improve our processes and the components. The advantage of doing it all from my house is that I'm the last stop before the product reaches the customer. I can be nimble and manage changes quickly rather than risk things falling through the cracks trying to communicate to someone else small changes in the process. What will likely happen next is me hiring an extra person to come to my house and take on some of the work. Hopefully vaccine rollout goes smoothly because I don't want to do this until it's safe for both me and the employee. >I'm definitely in your target market, but I'd rather have something more streamlined looking that didn't require upfront assembly. I currently sell two flavors. One's a kit, and the other's plug 'n play (TinyPilot Voyager).
