  Kickstarters never hit the front page on HN, but I wish this one would. This is one of those tiny revolutions that really change how technology itself progresses.

    It's had plenty of chances - this is at least the 15th submission, possibly there are more. The first two got quite a lot of upvotes and a few comments. Edit: Sorry, 25th submission. Extra edit: It was on the front page from 2015/05/08 21:40 BST through to 2015/05/09 03:02 or so.

      Wow, I missed it. Damn.

    If you want to connect it to a screen, the minimum you'll pay is $19(and maybe more). This isn't that far from the first raspberry pi . So why is it such a big revolution ?

      Not if you're fine with 640x480 - composite video output is included on the board. I backed because I'm really interested in the possibilities of a dirt-cheap completely wireless, headless machine.

      The included network interfaces make it a nice remote device. Not a user interfacing one as you mention.
