First off, thank you for all your work.

Why this hasn’t happened yet

You set the bar pretty high for improvement.

The vacuums are expensive. The work requires multiple top-tier skill sets, and the people with those skill sets don’t generally have enough time to contribute to something this heavy

Somebody could just fork you and clone everything you’re doing, but it’s not like any users would chase someone else versus you when you’re the only one getting actual work done.

It’s also kind of poking the bear for these vacuum companies skirting along by selling user data.
