Hi there, Edyn Founder and CEO here-- not sure that's a fair comparison. Most people who care about product design already know that Apple products are designed by Jonny Ive, so to mention it would be redundant. As a new startup, we don't have that kind of name recognition, but we know many of our customers value great design. We must be doing something right if you've picked up on it :)
- boomshucka 12y agoThe vast majority of apple users have never heard of Jonathan Ive. Edit: No, you aren't doing something right because I've picked up on it. Every time I see it I think to myself "It's stupid that these guys keep doing this, I wonder what other mistakes they are making".
- jasonlaramburu 12y agoI'm not sure I understand your point, but I agree, most people probably don't follow/research product designers. That said, some people do and they have proven to be early adopters of our product.
- jasonlaramburu 12y agoI'm sure we've made tons of mistakes... we are a startup :)
- boomshucka 12y agoThis might sound clever to you. But you are selling a product that people want to go in and buy from HD and walk out and have it just work. Nobody who walks into HD cares that you are a startup. For what it's worth, the product does look good, and sounds good too.
- jasonlaramburu 12y agoThanks! Being a startup in Home Depot is actually really exciting. The overwhelming majority of products they stock are from large established brands (rain bird, black and decker, mikita etc). Our big advantage over those companies is that as a small/nimble team we can iterate our product quickly.
- wuschel 12y agoCongratulations for your product launch. It must be great to see so much hard work finally pay off! Could you tell a bit more about the agri-sensor market, how you made your feature choices, and what you learned along the way? Cheers!
