Please don't apologize, I'm happy to be challenged on these things. It's the way I learn to explain them.

Look at the part in our video where Catarina (catv here) walks you through the use-case:

If you notice, the bag she puts inside Mellow is a HDPE bag for vacuum sealing, unsealed. There's a jump cut or whatchamacallit, but that's how we cook using Mellow. Regular non-ziploc sous-vide bags, open.

Did that help at all?




You are taking all the questions like a champ. Congrats on that.

All very polite, smart and yet giving real answers without slipping off when there is a problem/concern/issue/doubt/whatever.

Cheers.


Thank you, trying to be as present as possible. I'm humbled by the reception in HN, I never dreamed of posting about my own product here. Making a billion dollars seemed more likely than this, somehow.

On the questions: I understand the skepticism. We moved very far from what's normal; Mellow isn't an MVP by any means, so I was expecting hard questions on the use case. The fact that people take the trouble of questioning what we're doing instead of just brushing us aside is a big deal for me.

Let me know if you have any questions yourself on sous-vide, Mellow, development or whatever else might go through your mind. I do palm-readings on Fridays.


Yep, that makes sense.
