The product that’s being implicitly advertised here is supposed to ship at the end of this year and there doesn’t even appear to be a real photo of the thing and if that’s an indicator of the quality of the product then I must assume that it is poor and the people responsible also apparently do not have the money to hire a capable web designer and I’m sorry if this is harsh or unnecessary but I never thought I would miss the generic Bootstrap or Tailwind or whatever bougie framework other companies use because boy the layout here does not elicit great expectations for their product either and I’m worried that if it ever does ship that nefarious parties will intercept all the private communications of its unfortunate owners and in an ironic sort of way their devices will become the first sort of reverse ad agent that does not transmit advertisements but receives advertisements in the form of the raw interests of their clients fed to said nefarious parties and then laundered through more traditional channels.

The first version will use small batch production techniques like 3D printing and small volume PCB manufacturing. On the photos, we thought it to be more appropriate to show a sketch vs a pretty AI generated photo that is true to anything yet but presents well.

We have some details here on how we’re doing the prototyping with some photos of the current prototype: https://juno-labs.com/blogs/how-we-validate-our-custom-ai-ha...

Given they're "still finalizing the design and materials" and are not based in China, I think it's a safe bet that the first run will either be delayed or be an alpha.

In addition to being vaporware, it’s presumably vibecoded slop, so: vaporslop.
