HN discussionTheir development blog is very detailed: https://blog.flipperzero.one/review-and-producing-plan/ . It's definitely past the "pipe dream" phase IMO, the drawings they've posted in the blog post demonstrate an awful lot of work and are a far cry from "idea kicking around."

HN discussionWhat a cool device. Small word of advice to whoever maintains the FlipperZero website ("webmaster" in the old days): clicking on the logo on any of the Blog pages leads to the blog index, which is not terribly helpful for someone who – like me – landed on a blog article page and then was wondering what this was all about. It would make more sense if the logo, like the "Home" link in the navigation, consistently lead…
