Hi All,
I wanted to share with and get people's thoughts on a board I've been working on over the summer. Called the ToZero, it's an adapter (well two) for the Teensy 3x and 4x to the Raspberry Pi Zero form-factor, letting people use Pi HATs with their teensy.

Demo Tweets:
It came about because I love all the Pi HATs that are out there but have yet to really get into the Raspberry Pi itself. Being a regular user of the Teensy for other projects, I saw that it's small size would fit into a Zero form factor so decided to make this adapter that married the two.
It's similar in this respects to the Arduino and Feather adapters by Sparkfun and Adafruit, respectively (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15716, https://www.adafruit.com/product/3200)
Reason I am posting this here rather than in the projects / blog section, is because I am both curious whether this is something people would actually be interested in as a product, and whether there are any revisions I should consider from those with more Teensy experience than I before making more or outsourcing production. I have only made around 10 so far, a few for myself and the rest for alpha testers, and the only hardware issue that has come back is with the power multiplexer IC, which I need to switch SKU to fix.
Thanks for your time
