Thank you!

I dislike pushing "buy" too, but I like being able to find it, or at least knowing it's for sale. Most people coming in will have no idea.

Two more proposed changes:

1) "Getting started" presumes I have a device. I don't. That's obnoxious. The first step in getting started is buying a device (or, for other projects, ordering a PCB and a BoM, or otherwise). The first thing I want to know is:

- Is it for sale, or do I build it myself?

- What should I buy? Nano? Normal? Do I want any accessories?

- Where should I buy it?

2) In your github repos, you link to a store. It'd be nice if you said what you were selling in the lik "Or by buying the TinyPCIO or one of our other products on tindie or our own shop." This clearly contrasts with e.g. selling t-shirts and swag, build kits, or otherwise. And yes, many open source projects support themselves in part by selling unrelated swag.
