I wonder why it didn’t go anywhere. But maybe a difficult industry to interrupt. Google or an org with that kind of money should buy an cargo ship and just make it happen.

I wonder if this could be repurposed to kite sail large cargo ships.

Love your guys work. Do you have any thoughts on making something work for really rough seas? I want to make an electric boat suitable for Hawaii.

Where can I email bugs/support? looking for an email address, so I can attach video. Thanks.

Don't carbonated drinks need to be pressurized? wouldn't a square design get bloated? ie, you don't see square pressure vessels very often, I think for good reason.

Couldn't agree with you more. I am part of a small composites manufacturing company, and I can't wait to put them up all over our shop. It's going to be awesome!

We are in Hawai'i and I only know of one other real composite shop here. If we were in California or someplace else I could see that being a great option.

yes. Two molds in production. A third entering soon and we are making more molds. So it's part of the bottleneck, but skilled labor and shop space is also a challenge.

I am part of a company that manufactures canoes for competitive racing. It's been two years and we are doing well enough to live off the business. The most positive aspect is that we have 7 months of backorders. Our biggest problem is trying to expand without funding or loans. Another major hurdle is increasing production without a loss in quality.

Feature request/experiment: Put a small second column on the right side with the 'new page' on the main page.

I suggested this to reddit a long time ago when they first started to really get lame, but it never caught on.

Does their blog have rss? I can't seem to find the feed link.

what's your startup in town? I'm in Kailua doing a not at all related to programming or hacking startup.

That makes 3 of us that have lived on boats a lot.

That would be a fun project. I have yet to do much with cnc machines, but am looking forward to doing new products that way. my email is kzo@kzo.net

yes, I make things out of carbon fiber and epoxy.

Haha, yeah... I literally am building canoes. see our website http://kamanucomposites.com

A person named canoebuilder on hacker news? I thought I was the only one.

This may be some what unrelated... but www.mcmaster.com is the best website I've ever seen or used for sourcing and buying mechanical or industrial products. Maybe it's worth considering that kind of model, ie more like craigslist, for octopart's homepage vs the google style.

haha, is Arjun with you guys? tell him I said hi.

I move back in a week and have been telling the same story. drop me an email kzo@kzo.net, always looking to hear what other people are up to.

or if titles should be bigger w/less contrast. I like .title 11pt or 12pt and a:link less than black, maybe #222222 or so.

Congrats guys. I had the same idea last summer, started to implement it and then never bothered to finish it. What you guys have looks good. Safari support would be nice though.
