I've been working on https://joni-on-micro.site - which is hosted on an ESP32-S3 using the built-in esp-httpd, with Hugo for static site generation. This is the first time I'm posting it publicly, so I'm interested to see if it'll stay up.

I love the idea of a website with constraints that users can feel - and if I ever get too many concurrent visitors, I'll naturally stop serving requests.

(Still has some AI-generated content as filler - when I'm done, it'll be strictly human-only content)

How is the Milk-V Duo S able to hit these extremely low price points? Are they selling at a loss or making some sort of market play?

I've looked into integrating PoE modules into an ESP32-C3, and the bill of materials adds up quickly. That's not to mention that this is a 3-core SoC with vastly higher clock speeds and available memory.

I have some projects that would really benefit from these specs at this price point, but is there some sort of catch?
