"The circuit board is designed through a web-based portal usable only with Squink plugged in." Whoa there, cowboy. Its a kickstarter that not only may or may not produce a working machine, but even if it does, I have to depend on their perpetual existence just to use said machine? I... have trust issues.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a portal 'in the cloud' or if it's simply a web server hosted on the Squink itself? Very cool project, I wonder if future iterations by competitors will drive the cost down.

  Squink has a built-in web server. The goal is to ultimately also connect it to a portal in the cloud.

  Ive been hands on with squink, it's running locally on a bbb at the moment.

Their actual kickstarter page just says their machine takes gerbers, so it should be completely platform agnostic.

as someone else pointed out, the portal seems to be hosted on the squink it self. so the portal is jut a way to access the squinkk like u access ur linksys router
