Home Auto-Roti Maker

I've been saying we'll know the economy has turned around when toasters are being made in USA again.  Well, it's a breadmaker, and it is being designed here, so we have a ways to go...  Amy checks in with a Roti machine...

When Zimplistic first unveiled its YouTube product demo, the video went viral, and amassed 2.5 million views. That flood of interest converted into $4.5 million in pre-sales as soon as Rotimatic started collecting orders on its site. Now, the company is “sold out.” Even the initial run of Rotimatics won’t arrive in consumers’ hands until early 2015.

This is excellent, seeing a machine being designed

A product of Zimplistic, a Mountain View, California-based company of 20 people, Rotimatic was developed over six years by co-founders Pranoti Nagarkar and Rishi Israni. Nagarkar handled the engineering, and Israni was largely responsible for the software side (there’s no operating system; it runs “bare metal”).
Nagarkar said she was inspired to create Rotimatic after growing tired of trying to perfect her own roti-making skills. Depending on how good you are, a batch of five take 30 to 40 minutes. “I used to take probably longer and that’s when I got fed up," she told Mashable.

Response has been hot...  I love this crowd-sourcing market testing and finance.  banks and their usury destroy economies, and even if people do not understand the destruction from usury, as long as there is a process to get us away from it, good enough.

They should test the brand name Rotimatic against other names.  I'd call it Guru Roti. Roti Guru?  If I knew some Hindi I might come up with some fun puns.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
