+<!-- Describe your board in 2-3 sentences. What are you making? What will it do? -->
+I am making a simple USB 2.0 Hub to connect mouse dongles, microcontrollers and the likes to my laptop. </br>
+It will be a simple 4 port USB hub. </br>
+<!-- How much is it going to cost? -->
+According to JLCPCB the order total is €44.59
+<!-- Tell us a little bit about your design process. What were some challenges? What helped? ***Totally optional*** -->
+I was following the tutorial on the Hack Club website at first, but at somepoint along the road thought, why not make it a 4 port. </br>
+This deviates from the tutorial in the sense that it has 4 ports as opposed to the tutorial's 2 ports. </br>
+I looked into making it USB 3.0 capable/compliant, but that is a rabbit hole I wasn't willing to go down while I was boiling in the Italian summer heat. </br>
+This is something that I might do in a furture revision (and maybe it will even be USB 4.0 compliant). </br>

+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If you are using my source files, schematics and other files, there is a high chance that JLCPCB will not be able to find the male USB component. The component I used (in EastEDA actually) is the C98125 (the same one as in the tutorial). </br>
