One can never have enough socks, or USB ports. Add some more USB capability to your Raspberry Pi Zero, or any other single-board computer with the Zero4U!
This is a 4-port USB 2.0 hub, almost identical to this one, but without the ferrite bead, standoffs or pogo pins. This might be a preferable format if you want to mount it on the bottom or side-by-side or with another HAT below it. It's also great as-is as a small USB hub.
Since this version does not have the pogo pins, we recommend using the onboard mini-USB port to the up-stream USB port, which will provide power and data. Or, you can solder to the test pads or use the JST XH2.54 connector on board as the power input port. 
The blue onboard LED is the power indicator, and will light up when power is connected. Each USB port uses a dedicated white LED as a transaction indicator, and a dedicated electrolytic capacitor to help stabilize the output voltage.
Note: This is just the USB hub board. If you need one with standoffs, spacers, and pogo pins, take a look here!

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
single-board computer
A complete computer built onto one circuit board, usually including the processor, memory, ports, and connectors. This matters because accessories like heatsinks must match the board’s layout and mounting holes to fit properly.
