I think well-controlled fresh air intake is the most uniquely appealing part of this offering. I built a few prototypes to provide CO2 based fresh air intake in our house and it has made our bedrooms much more comfortable (https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYBYm_v0IV/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=). I think it’s hard to appreciate until you sleep with it for a week!

I’m currently working on specifying the HVAC for our next house. I think we’ll go with an air-to-water heat pump feeding in-floor hydronics with a separate fresh air intake and filtration system. I’d be happy to talk about what led us to those choices and the compromises if that’d be helpful.

Good luck with Electric Air—I think there’s real value in what you’re offering if you can convince people of it.

We actually changed this recently in Stripe Checkout. Touch detection worked great for 99% of cases, but serving a touch-only experience to devices like yours was pretty clearly unacceptable.

We're now treating the touch-only versions as optimized for specific platforms. For example, we have a mobile version that is optimized for, and only displays on, Android and iOS. Going forward, we may explore a pointer event polyfill to improve support for less common touch devices.
