Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

To be fair, the same as with Ruuvitag, Seeed are actually paying me a monthly fee to keep their board in the repo and produce builds for them. It's not a lot, but it covers my time making sure the builds always stay working - and is less than it'd cost them to pay an engineer to do the same.
There are only two companies doing it at the moment, but it's a big win for everyone. People get up to date builds for their boards, and we don't end up with what happened with RedBear where they came up with a firmware for the KickStarter and then never made any new builds.
We'll see - if more people do it, it could really help to increase Espruino's reach in a more sustainable way :)
Realistically I think Seeed will update their documentation soon, but if they choose not to mention Espruino much on their site it's really only them that loses out :)
