This is an interesting project. Sadly it comes a bit too late for me. I have pretty much all the parts for the pocketable version by now and a few spare boards already. The only missing bit is the keyboard but I am not overly excited about the keyboard developed as part of this project. The URL for reference as it is not the most searchable thing. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer Out of curiosity it would be interesting to get my hands on the board. It might be good alternative to Lime since the GPIO connectors seem more usable. Unfortunately the postage for $9 board is $20 on kickstarter so I guess I can wait until it is available at some Chinese stores if that is going to happen.
