Every time one of these vertical/rotating indoor farms comes onto the market
(usually via crowdfunding), it has roughly the same level of cost inflation.
Haven't quite figured out who they are conning into buying these setups.

I think he got a lot of flack for pointing out that the zip-grow towers are
way overpriced and you can DIY them yourself reasonably well. There really
isn't anything too-complicated about the ZipGrow towers, other than that they
use a sponge as a media.

Dan -- the themes and ideas behind this are rad and I'd love to chat with you
to find out more about what you'd like to do with this.

I've been bootstrapping a concept that shares "the personal API" concept for
12 months now with a team of three and we're going to launch it in a couple of
weeks.

Since other services' API rate limits and terms makes depending on them nearly
impossible at scale, we decided to give everyone an API and a database.
