Thanks, there's lots of those small boards but I didn't know about that
particular one, so it's nice to learn of it.  However, it's not really
in the same class as an AVR which is in a single small package, DIP8 in
the case of ATTiny85, also available in hand solderable SMT packages,
and costs $1-$2 instead of $10+.
