  What a user-hostile design. You buy a $350 device, then you have to buy proprietary nail polish capsules until the day the company inevitably goes down? And after that you’re stuck with a nail Juicero?

    There was a tabletop dishwasher not too long ago that had proprietary capsules. A dude bought industrial detergent and filled them up with a syringe for 100x cheaper.

      That is a bit reductive, you also need the tools to write to the chip that the capsule is full, otherwise it is useless.

        It turned out to be a simple I2C memory, and the author wrote 999999 to it, IIRC.

  Does Nimble work? It is so highly promoted that I wonder if it is selling based on potential more than reality.
