11 people set out to build a standalone button that costs 100$... Am I missing something? Is this satire? Great idea, would love to buy one but both price and team strength seem to be off by factor of 10.

From my perspective, you are not wrong at all. At the moment, the product is pretty pricey - that is something we are working on.
It is just a fact of life (which you surely know) that in small quantities, hardware tends to be pricey. We are working our trim little butts off to bring down the price.
As for the simplicity, the product is very simple by design. However, we have some pretty cool things on our roadmap to keep the same magical simplicity of use while adding a whole lot of functionality. It is a balancing act we are hoping to handle the right way.
It is a hardware product so I'd prefer they launched with a high but realistic prce and then dropped that latter than a more reasonable price.
