Oh, by the way…
Here are a few screenshots of what we've been working hard on. Really exciting, to us at least.
A. Your Gear tab, stocked with bottling setups
B. Your Cupboard: every bottle and flask you own
C. Fill & Mix: exactly what goes in each bottle
D. What to drink and eat, and when
E. Tap a pane: how often to drink it
The best part: we think machine learning can learn how you like your fuel made. We envision: Open Saturday and boom, your bottles are made. No steps.
Wish Michelle luck at her first Pro World Championships!
Until next time!
