Very cool! I've had a Petnet (www.petnet.io) feeder for a few months now and I never want to go back. Dispensing small quantities multiple times a day has made my cats inhale-until-instant-vomit issues go completely away.
Well that sucks! Why would they lock themselves to a platform like that?

Do you need the app to use this feeder?
edit: just saw someone else's comment about the app being mandatory to use this pet feeder.

You can get high quality grain-free dry "kibble" pet food. Just because it's kibble doesn't mean it's low quality or full of junk.
kibble is bad. Cats get water from food and kibble doesn't have any water.

This product looks absolutely great. Unfortunately they don't offer an android app, and it's not clear whether you need the app to program it or if it's just a bonus. Do you need the app to use this feeder? edit: just saw someone else's comment about the app being mandatory to use this pet feeder.

Holy batman that scroll hijacking.
I have to ask. Why do people dislike this? The browser scroll bar is often ugly as sin. Also its useful when having more than one area that needs scrolling capability without having that ugly default scrollbar junk up the middle of the screen in said application.
question: how hard would it be to make this work for a nutrient suspension? i'm asking because i have switched to soylent (for obvious reasons that i will not belabor here) but am frustrated that i still have to remember to prepare and consume it at the correct interval.
it would be truly liberating to simply insert a tube into my mouth that would dispense an appropriate amount of fuel into my system at the optimal moment - perhaps triggered by my blood glucose dropping below a particular threshold[1].

I've envisioned something similar, but for wet food (dry food is better for our convenience than it is for cat health in my experience). You'd fill a (washable and refrigerated) cylinder with wet food, which would be forced out a heated tip by a piston (sort of like squeezing a toothpaste tube). The refrigeration and heated tip are the complicating factors. The heated tip is used because cats don't tend to like cold…
My cat doesn't care if the food is cold. In fact, he will eat pretty much anything. He loves to eat the salad we make every day for dinner, and its not just the avocado, the other day he ate some tomato that I dropped on the floor by mistake. If your cat doesn't like cold food, perhaps you are feeding him too much?
this is a great project! i'm working on a go rewrite right now (i wish the author had chosen a less broken language in the first place lol). question: how hard would it be to make this work for a nutrient suspension? i'm asking because i have switched to soylent (for obvious reasons that i will not belabor here) but am frustrated that i still have to remember to prepare and consume it at the correct interval. it woul…
If sincere I apologize.
