The pages do not give a ship date in the body. The Cyber at the Frontier page calls the items announcements and offers a recording of the livestream. It does not, on the page fetched for this story, print the day of that livestream. The products are described as available to start from those pages, with Red Team behind an application.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
