We blogged about our prototype back then, and received enough love and interest from the internet to convince us that there was demand enough to offer kits.<div><br><div>Now that we have kits available for sale, we're struggling with how to promote it on a hackerspace budget. It's not as newsworthy to blogs like the adafruit blog and hackaday, I assume since it's a product, not a prototype. I suck at marketing, and was hoping someone else in the hackerspace community might have dealt with something similar.</div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Simon</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
