It measures 41.7 × 51.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
22 parts, built around the LMV358 and LM2931CD. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the rmemory/CurrentSink repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CurrentSinkOrSwim.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rmemory before reusing the design.
