I think they're asking, why would you spend $20+ on a board like this when something like a Lolin S2 Mini[1] is $4? There are millions of ESP32s out there... What makes one from Arduino™ any better? 1. https://a.aliexpress.c

I'm super excited about Framework as a company. They're doing all the right things imo. Their next product announcement is in ~10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccpsyRipHlk
