Interesting concept, at first I thought it was just a fancy pi form factor. But looks like it is actually not, as they are using an ARM chip form NXP. Which, as far as I am aware, is pretty good ik regards to the open source mission.
I wonder about long term repairability though. They seem to have put thought in it, but parts availability is what I would be concerned about.
It is possible I missed it, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of a price point.
Ah yeah, I did overlook that. That does suggest it is a discounted price, when it does become available it likely will cost more. Still, that doesn't seem too bad to me. Although I am not quite...

Still, that doesn't seem too bad to me. Although I am not quite sure how performance will look like. The NXP SoC mentioned is intended for embedded usage and sports Cortext-A53 cores first introduced in 2012.
Having said that, it doesn't need to power a whole lot and it might be a good fit for the form factor.

On their kickstarter page it says super early bird pricing is $159
