Hey I agree with you that gutter guards will never stop accumulation of debris, it will just slow it down. Selection of cell size might be a good way to optimize it depending on the type of leaves getting on roof.

BTW gutter cleaning robot is really impressive to me. It's a much cleaner solution to the problem. Only worry I have about that is financial viability considering the robot might have to be water resistant, shock resistant, etc. Of course that'll change depending on the country.

Yes that's the problem. It seems to be pretty common in developed countries. But such a simple thing is not common at all in this part of the world. That's why I think there is so much to do for entrepreneurs in this part of the world

Yup. Thanks for pointing that out. I couldn't find about the s-bend technology. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned in the blog post the lack of standards followed causes a great trouble adopting these technologies. Mostly used roof sheets in Sri Lanka are similar to what's there in my roof (~~~~ shaped)

In my experience I tend to loose my productivity a lot when working from home for days. Going out 2-3 times a week helps me a lot to charge up, not necessary to work. But I think the idea of going out to work will only work for energy suckers, not for energy givers like my cofounder who loves working from home.

Creating something new and discussing it with similar type of people (people who create stuff) is a great way to improve in aspects like technology, strategy, etc. But need to make sure initial ideas are not carried away too much. Specially if the participants are not a subset of actual endusers of what you are doing.

Got the gif from a friend. Thanks for point out the original blog post. Just wanted to share the difference between having high redundancy vs less redundancy in visualizations.
