Pretty sure there are not 250 countries. How hard is it to validate the enormous number in the header image?

It's so disappointing to watch trmnl, a really interesting hardware product concept, transition into being just another AI company.

There are some databases including territories and stuff that sometimes lands in the ~250 region, but should be stated if so. Closer to 200-210 or UNs "193 countries" tend to be a bit more common to use though, always depend on what exactly you see as a "country" I suppose.

Is this really transitioning into another AI company? It's an integration for having a 3rd party AI vibe code plugins for their hardware's interface.

There are 249 country codes, which is a possible definition used.

I would have one FAQ - does it require 20$ developer license?

i founded TRMNL and didn't try AI myself until ~2 months ago. i'd rather shut down down and open source everything (per our Unbrickable Pledge) than become "just another AI company."

the AI Agent exists to empower less technical folks to turn their vision into reality, and we're proud of what's possible with it. meanwhile our top community developers continue to hand craft beautiful, useful plugins for everyone to install, LLM free.
