#42Any idea how to build this using Raspberry PI or Arduino?
Re: Introducing Carrot
#43It looks like you've built your landing page in PHP, which is renowned for its scaling and security problems. I'd highly recommend looking into something like Scala or Lisp if you want your unlaunched product to have any chance in scaling to the millions of users you probably won't get.

#44lol, just like all those product introduction out there.....
Re: Introducing Carrot
#45I'm just not sure about the form factor. Carrot is probably a bit too big for my hands and Carrot mini won't be released before 2015 so I'll skip on Carrot for now.

#46I have a few qualms with this food:
1. For a gardener, you can already grow such a vegetable yourself quite trivially by getting seeds, planting it locally with compost, and then using water and potash on the planted seeds.
2. It doesn't actually replace a potato. Most people I know add flour or bread to be able to make stews, but they still carry a potato in case there are thickening problems. This does not solve the thickening issue.
3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

#47Before I sound too negative, I would like to say that it does look like a lot of hard work went into this, and I really do think it’s a good product. Unfortunately, it seems like another solution looking for a problems. From what I can tell, this product has little to no compatibility with Cakes and Deserts. At Small Startup – which this entire comment was written to promote – we heavily utilize Cakes and Deserts and…
Come on.... Carrot integrates beautifully with Cake there is even a Chef recipe for it (AHA!!!) ! It's my favorite bundle when working on Breakfast module.

#49Look's cool but I can't really see the difference between this and the market incumbents. What are you differentiators to: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/Cabbage_a... or http://www.leekrecipes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/leeks-food.j...
I feel like the color orange is an excellent differentiator as it's more warm and happy.
Oooh, this was just leeked: http://i.imgur.com/b6zPy73.jpg

I don't know if you have tried PHP recently, but with the frameworks like Symfony2, it's much more robust and feels natural to code into. I think you should give it another try. :)
