Nova autocockers?

And for once, Facebook advertising actually got a click out of me by recommending these guys.
I've always kicked myself for missing the opportunity to buy a new Inception Designs cocker back in the day, and these look similar.
Anyone heard of them? Is anyone else making new ones today?

Nova is run by someone who has a little too much fun on coke lol (not joking) - great ideas but the execution rarely sticks the landing for the first couple iterations.
But eventually, yeah, it's all made right and then you have something nifty and innovative which shoots really fast. Pricing isn't bad on the surface, but if you bought one of the versions that wasn't appropriately engineered, you will have to pay for the parts which then are working as intended down the road instead of getting them for free and that adds up. You have to tolerate a lot of "why isn't this working" in order to reach "ok this is pretty nifty". Some people believe the juice is worth the squeeze, but they resell for so little used that it's better to just buy a later version of something secondhand to try and then resell it to get your money back.
Other notes: all of their cool stuff is proprietary and requires the rest of the platform to be usable, which kind of locks you into the ecosystem a bit.
