I got tired of having to make a generic programmer for the ESP8266 modules and I wanted something that I could keep with me for easy programming. It seams like I'm using and ESP in every Arduino project these days so I came out with a nice programmer. I thought I'd share the idea with the community and attempt a kickstarter project. Besides it not being the cheapest option out there it's the best I can do with the cost of producing quality boards. I know there are a billion ways to program these things but I stand by my gum stick programmer =)
Can't open your link, access blocked or something.
I offer a standalone programmer, load up an Arduino in the field from SD card via its ICSP header. No kickstarter needed.

totally different project and topic @CrossRoads.
I don't get how this is not a 30€ FTDI adapter with a pin header for ESP01.
How is soldering two headers, a LM1117, a few wires on a prototyping board and plugging something like this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FT232RL-3-3V-5-5V-FTDI-USB-to-TTL-Serial-Adapter-Module-For-Arduino-TE321/32494103800.html in a "fragile setup" (Section History in the Kickstarter campagne)?
What I would be interested in would be a programmer for the ESP-07/-12 modules that does not require soldering wires. I ordered some pogo pins that I plan to stick in 2mm headers and fix with epoxy to build a holder. I'll report when I am successful 
Last week for the ESP programmer on kickstarter.
ESP8266 Programmer got funded and there are 20 minutes left to still get one.
