Was the KIM-1 the first 6502 computer? I'm not sure.
In any event, try out the KIM-1 simulator if you want to use your 6502 coding skills: https://maksimkorzh.github.io/KIM-1/

"Another group inside [MOS] designed the KIM-1... One of the first "public" uses for the design was the Apple I microcomputer, introduced in 1976."
Also, the JOLT was used in the Atari VCS prototype.
MAI was later acquired by Synertek and the company was rebranded as Synertek Systems and then created the SYM-1, a 6502-based SBC, in 1976.
