> $20 “developer edition” license which “unlocks their API”. I expected this upgrade to give me API access so I could retrieve the image that’s displayed of my device, but that’s not actually the case, and you need a $50 “virtual device” license for that.

I cannot find a mention of the developer edition. I own a TRMNL and use the api for free (I assume because I have a device) and then they offer a lifetime $50 license to use their backend with your own device. I think that's fair.

Also, I don't quite understand their back ordering information. I ordered mine and got it less than a week later even though they said it was back ordered.

That option is for when you add it to your cart. You get API access with the device because you have one, but AFAIK you can't develop plugin without the dev option? I don't know, I'm confused :(

Interesting, I have developed plugins for my TRMNL and I only paid for the device.
Or at least I've developed HTML-based views that are custom (I think that's "plugins") that are displaying on my device.

  Hm :/ I wonder why I paid the extra $20, then...
