>talar: Huge potential here. Cars are on their way out, and scheduled grocery delivery can replace it.

A ton of these already exist. Blue apron, Home Chef, Hello Fresh, Amazon (although I believe amazon is currently pickup only). Does talar do anything different than the already established companies?

>spotless materials: Coatings can make a huge difference in the way we interact with materials... in fact, for the most part, that's all we interact with. better coatings make things better.

Again, there are a bunch of established companies making spray on and dip on coatings for clothing, fabric, tools, and other miscellaneous items that does essentially the same thing. Is there anything new here that the others don't do?

It seems like with Talar, their delivery people are literally coming into your home and stocking your pantry/fridge.

So now somehow these random delivery people all have to have keys to my apartment (including the main entrance)?

Why would I want some rando coming into my home and placing things? I have my food/ingredients spread across a few different cupboards in my apartment, how am I supposed to specify where I want things to go?

EDIT: Oh apparently it's

"Upon on signing up, your assigned House Manager will contact you to understand your buying and stocking preferences."

Yeah that really doesn't sound like something that will scale well.

And still wouldn't want some rando coming into my house and into my cupboards/fridge/etc. Really weird.

Not just any rando, but a lowly-paid gig worker.
