@Gordon - I was wondering about why the ESP8266 was the only thing on the bottom. There are so many considerations for designing boards!
Maybe some pads could be added on the bottom for extra power and/or any extra signals that there just isn't space for? If there's space between traces, it's a no-loss solution.
The prototype board looks really good already, I don't mean any of my questions as real issues, just questioning if there's a couple of opportunities to suit more people. The size you're aiming for with this board seems to be a bit of a sweet spot for boards at the moment. Everyone's trying to make things significantly smaller than Arduino Unos (teensy,oak,nodemcu,photon) but not digistump small, and none of the competition are doing anything nearly as cool as javascript-on-board.
