public maker self-submission roster
FakeBobby / HogFillet's current row calls its $24 SAO HTP Graffiti and links directly to the same HTP-DC34 product page. Its brief button description aligns with the storefront's host-dependent odd/even GPIO button claim. The shared product URL supports an alternate listing name, not a second artifact, board revision, technical design, completed delivery, official status, or image-reuse permission.
