Looks awesome but price point is too high for my taste.

The Homeylabs team doesn't seem to be active on social media. No twitter account as far as I can tell and no new posts on Facebook or Instagram since 2017.
Their shopping page still seems to be functional (through Shopify), though I haven't tested it myself yet.
EDIT: As @samrye_enspiral mentions below, read the reviews before buying. There seems to be a lot of negative reviews of the product itself.
Looks like this was originally a crowdfunded product and they stopped communication once the campaign was over.
EDIT2: It doesn't look like there is a way to delete this product from the website, but is there any way to deal with products that are known to be cheap/bad? It seems somewhat irresponsible to leave it up. I don't imagine most people will read the comments.
@samrye_enspiral I can't believe they're still selling this thing - I've seen nothing but bad reviews from the get go. I ordered one during the kickstarter campaign and I'm afraid to use it since there have been multiple reports of it shorting out the users electronics. Stay away!
I crowdfunded but it was never delivered, total scam
Pros:None
Cons:Never got the product
Im using one as we speak, unfortunately I cant recommend it. While it has always worked fine as a macbook charger the USB ports are all dead. Reasonably I probably shouldnt use it, but it does work and I paid a lot for it, so I use it as a travel charger anyway.
