  I’m really glad to see how it’s getting easier to distribute work like this, from easy pcb ordering to 1-click bom ordering.

  I’m also interested in the gradual adoption of and categorisation of the properties for using photodiode based scintillation detecting methods. Much less fragile than a glass tube, lower voltages, etc.

  I'd be interested in how the calibration works, you need known samples for the energy and not all of them are easy to get.

  I don't have the electronics chops to build one of these, but I'd certainly buy one.
