Nah, not Internet connected and no mobile app to control it.

We should attach some IoT sensors and stream user behavior back to our server, either forward the data to the vendor of your item and let them provide some support[1], or do some machine learning for credit assessment[2]. And this could be called the world's first smart in-home physical caching device.

I really wish people wouldn't post stuff like this to HN. The last bowl bubble was devastating. In 2013 there were literally bowls selling for millions of dollars[1]. My kids didn't eat cereal that year. Please consider the consequences of your startups. It's "just a landing page" one day but the next, you're ruining lives .

I sincerely hope that the reason you are being downvoted is that people didn't read beyond the first sentence.

Could we possibly use blockchain to track the state of each item?

This implementation is O(n) on retrieval, rather than O(1) as in the ideal case. Hopefully v2 will optimize that in the near future.

I think the next version, Shitplate, should have this improvement. Space complexity is worse, though.

Bug report: Item retrieval is not functionally pure and may have side effects on the sorting of items in the bowl.

Bug closed: User error. All items above the desired item must be retrieved and replaced as one bundle.
