Launch HN: OSIMple (YC W18) – Automating data entry for inspectors
1 by mikemiller117 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, We’re Amanda Chan and Mike Miller, the cofounders of OSIMple ( https://www.osimple.co/ ). We automate data entry for inspectors by replacing stacks of paper with tablets and by generating completed inspection forms, saving them almost half of their inspection time. Through conversations with friends and professors in the civil engineering department at our university, we discovered that data entry and report writing can be quite a time sink for bridge inspectors. Bridges need to be inspected regularly but a great deal of inspectors are using pen, paper, and camera on site and manually entering data back at the office. Those who do use software use old, clunky applications that often require persistent internet connection in the field. We figured we could build something better so we created OSIMple. There are two parts to the software. First is a mobile application that inspectors use to complete their inspections. It essentially digitizes the inspection form and keeps all the photos and notes organized. The second part is a website. Once an inspector finishes an inspection, they upload their data from the mobile app to the website where they may review and edit the inspection data and finally generate a completed inspection form as a PDF. We started started selling to bridge inspectors and now our software is being used on over 400 bridges. It’s become clear that other types of inspection could benefit from our software as well. So now we’re expanding to include home inspectors. Like bridge inspectors, home inspectors often have nothing or inelegant software to help them complete their job. We aim to change that, for home inspectors and beyond. Thanks for reading! We’d love to hear feedback from the HN community and any ideas or experiences you've had in this space.

Show HN: A Minimalist Arcade Game
2 by inn3r | 0 comments on Hacker News.
3anglez is an HTML5 game that uses Phaser as the main game engine that handles the logic and rendering while Howler is used for the sound. It was ported to Android using Cordova as a container which can access the native API of an Android smartphone and Crosswalk that acts as the WebView rendering the WebGL context. Implementing Cordova plugins such as Notifications, Leaderboard, Analytics, was hard because they would always enter into conflict with each other and collapsed the whole game. After days of fixing, they now act nice with each other. The whole idea of this game was to provide hours of fun using only basic shapes. So I picked the polygon with the smallest number of sides (the triangle) and I build the entire world using it. The triangle is also responsible for the l33t style game name (3anglez). The gameplay is pretty simple. You have to avoid the spikes, the rocks and the enemies (they have some basic artificial intelligence and will try to kill you). Your job is to lure the enemies into the rocks in order to gain points that are used for upgrades. The controls are simple, tap anywhere on the screen and the player will follow you. The depth effect of the main game scene is created using 6 parallax layers. There is a slight tilt of 5 degrees present in the whole game that gives you a unique feel compared to other Android games (this feature was pretty hard to implement since I didn't change the camera angle but instead I tilted the sprites which required some pretty complex trigonometry). The color changing background helps you track your progress. You can try to challenge and defeat the leaderboard top players by getting a higher score! Here is a link where you can play this game: http://ift.tt/2CMZ6hJ... If you have any questions post them in the comments and I'll try to answer them. Thanks for reading the whole post! PS: I can't say how many levels are there but you can try to finish them all :D!

Launch HN: Slite (YC W18) – Note App for Teams
1 by christophepas | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I'm Chris, founder of Slite ( https://slite.com ). We’re building a tool for modern teams to write down and retrieve things that matter. I've launched two companies in the past and basically ran them on note-taking apps. The first was a hiring SaaS and the second an on-demand fashion-delivery service, and while the two were pretty different, I needed to write down a lot of stuff: interview notes, mentoring, email and article drafts, notes on customers and so on. I had this habit because notes are versatile, incredibly user-friendly, and immediate. They made up my personal knowledge base but the biggest frustration I had was sharing those with teammates. So I decided to build a note app that would work with teams from day 1. This is in line with the current problems in team collaboration. A lot of people were thrilled to dump email to get on Slack, but recent conversation has shifted towards Slack killing team productivity and leading to loss of information. This topic even trended on HN a week ago: http://ift.tt/2nSGHeM . We’re building an asynchronous writing tool for teams to organize their work with one simple yet crucial goal in mind: make sure teams stop losing valuable information and find it more quickly. We want to remove the back and forth you have on Slack, via email or even offline to find information. We use the same channels pattern as Slack, mainly because this avoids the folders structure where content is hard to find, organize and where permissions are a nightmare. But using Slite allows you to separate use cases: channel chat a la IRC or Slack to communicate instantly, Slite to write and retrieve information. Another major product focus is search: existing tools such as Google Docs or Dropbox Paper make it hard to organize and navigate through content (not to mention Slack where everything get lost between cat gifs). We put huge efforts on making it seamless in Slite. With these basic differences we've already convinced hundreds of teams and thousands of active users to switch their content over from Google Docs, Dropbox Paper or other tools. We’re now entering a new phase where we’re focusing on integrations, allowing teams to push and access their information from anywhere in their workflows. It’s an exciting time and we’d love for you to check it out and give us your feedback. And we're eager to hear your ideas in this space. Please share your thoughts in the comments!

Launch HN: Nutrigene (YC W18)- Tailor-made liquid supplements using health data
5 by vancanwin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm Van Duesterberg, and my cofounder is Min FitzGerald. We're the founders of Nutrigene (www.mynutrigene.com). We ship tailor-made liquid supplements based on your body composition and scientific research. I'm a biophysicist and epigeneticist who spent more than 10 years studying how environmental factors influence the expression of our genes, focusing on the mechanism of metabolites (including vitamins) in both plants and humans. Min has spent more than 10 years as a personal trainer, health coach and behavioral scientist working in the food and consumer product goods space. This all started because I wanted to be healthier and was frustrated with a lack of answers from our healthcare system, which only sees our data through a “survival” lens (oh you don’t need to be in urgent care or surgery now). I wanted to live beyond just surviving to truly thrive, by reducing chronic pain and fatigue and feeling more energetic. As a PhD in Biophysic and Epigenetics, my natural state to a frustrating, unsolved problem is to start conducting experiments and collecting data on myself. So I started getting involved in tracking and monitoring (using many Google sheets), through collecting blood panels, heart monitor data, and wearables for my activity and sleep. I’ve experimented with different remedies and diets to recover my health after a relatively difficult pregnancy. Eventually this led to the idea for a startup that would make it easy for people to take action based on their health data, by coming up with tailor-made products for the individual. We're beginning with high-quality liquid vitamins. Why vitamins? Despite trying to eat as well as possible every day, I found it tough to do as a startup founder and new mom. And the data showed it’s not just me. Almost 90% of Americans are deficient in something or another, because we can’t eat perfectly every day, and recent research shows from NHANES and CDC shows that more Americans are not reaching their recommended daily allowances. Why liquid supplements? The supplements industry is broken - there’s lack of quality, transparency and attention to purity. The majority of the vitamins and supplements you buy through Amazon, or Walgreens degrade, 50% after 6 months on shelves. Our goal is to send you the freshest, ready-made liquid supplements in our lab that are 1) unadulterated (no fillers such as starch or sugar), 2) pure liquid to maximize absorption (not breaking down any sort of tablet or softgel coating e.g. gelatin), and 3) an easier form factor to swallow than a pill. Plus, it’s easier to measure the purity of the supplements on mass spectrophotometry and HPLC in liquid form. Why tailor-made? One of our advisors, Professor Bruce Hollis, has spent more than four decades studying Vitamin D deficiencies that show how we should be taking more Vitamin D than the RDA, in particular Vitamin D3, but off the shelf producers still use outdated information. The isoform of the vitamin matters, and we’ve incorporated hundreds of other papers across other vitamins, minerals and amino acids to provide the right unique mix to each person. We "tailor-make" it for you based on two factors. (1) Body composition. A 150lb man should not be getting the same dose as a 210lb man. Different fat and muscle composition determines whether fat soluble gets stored or how vitamins get metabolized. Most of this research is done in the nutritional sports space. (2) Genetics. The type of vitamin matters (isoform). Certain people who are more Vitamin D deficient should take Vitamin D3 which is one step away from metabolizing to its active form, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, in our bodies. Another common vitamin that has been an issue for many women in particular is folic acid. A set of SNP mutations prevent anyone from properly methylating folic acid and hence many practitioners recommend taking methylfolate and same goes for Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which its methyl form is methylcobalamin. Degradation/oxidation is a big issue and we try to resolve that by making it just-in-time and capping it immediately after production. We also experiment with different formulations to prevent digestion of vitamins so they can be absorbed further down the line in your gut. No fillers, no starch, no sugar. Just vitamins. High quality liquid vitamins are just the beginning. We want to see if vitamins do work using trackers, wearables, blood work, and even quantifying improvements in performances. Anecdotally, I’ve been seeing a drastic decrease in my base heart rate and more frequently see this low base heart rate during the day. My aortic heart stiffness has become less stiff giving me an age heart of 31 (I’m 33). These data are preliminary, but even blood work says I’m all good which isn’t indicative of whether I’m performing better or feeling healthier. We continue to find other ways to biohack ourselves but most importantly create a community of people who also want to take control of their health. And of course, my qualitative feedback is that I feel more energetic even with all the fatigue that comes with running a startup and being a first time mother.

Often, cheap flight lists will ask you to search on a particular travel site like Google Flights because it has a better search interface, but another site like Momondo to buy the flight because it is often significantly cheaper. Replicating the search can be tedious, so I wrote Fare Finder to allow me to replicate a search in one travel site on others with two clicks. So far the extension supports Google Flights, Kayak, and Momondo. I would love your feedback on the extension - please check it out here: http://ift.tt/2Cy0N2j... . It would be great to know what you guys think and any changes that would make the extension more useful for you. Thanks!

Launch HN: CoinTracker (YC W18) – Cryptocurrency portfolio and tax manager
2 by chanfest22 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi — we’re Chandan and Jon, co-founders of CoinTracker ( http://ift.tt/2EKlCJv ). CoinTracker is a cryptocurrency portfolio manager that automatically pulls balances and transactions from top exchanges and wallets, and delivers tax information to users. We built CoinTracker because, as cryptocurrency-investors, we were really let down by the existing tools for basic performance tracking of cryptocurrency investments. We started by simply creating a spreadsheet that enabled manual entry of transactions, and eventually hacked away with Google Apps scripts to import prices from various exchanges. This quickly got out of hand, so we built our own tool. We casually told a few friends who are into cryptocurrency about it. They found it as useful as we did, and to our surprise started telling their friends about it. We started receiving a steady stream of feature requests, and since then we have been steadily improving CoinTracker. One of CoinTracker’s foundational aspects is that balances and transactions are automatically synced from exchanges and cryptocurrency wallets. Before CoinTracker, we hated the idea of manually entering every transaction into a tool. This approach also enables us to calculate cost basis, ROI, capital gains, and other tax-related information for you. There are technical challenges of ensuring that we correctly handle transfers between your wallets and transitively handle cost basis — something that a lot of other tools struggle to do correctly. We think this direction is enabling us to build the best cryptocurrency portfolio tracker with important services like cryptocurrency taxes built on top. If you are a cryptocurrency investor, or want to be a cryptocurrency investor, we would love to get your feedback on the product. Additionally, if you are in any cryptocurrency communities or know any cryptocurrency-enthusiasts that might find CoinTracker useful, please feel free to share with friends!

Show HN: I started a weekly newsletter for career advice for junior developers
3 by dglass | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’m starting a weekly newsletter writing about career advice for junior developers. I’m at the point in my career where I feel like I can share my experiences and give direction on what I learned and what junior engineers should focus on when it comes to the soft skills. I won’t be getting too technical but I may post every now and then about certain algorithms or design patterns I think junior developers should be familiar with. I'll mostly focus on what I had to learn about on my path to becoming a senior engineer. I had to figure it out along the way and there weren't a whole lot of resources out there on what I needed to focus on to reach the next level in my career. It’s the soft skills that I struggled with so it’s the soft skills that I want to help with. If you’re interested you can subscribe at http://ift.tt/2EsxB2J

Launch HN: SheerlyGenius (YC W18) – Indestructible Tights from Bulletproof Fiber
3 by kathomuth | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’m Katherine Homuth and I founded Sheerly Genius - indestructible sheer tights made from bulletproof fibers. We just launched our product on Kickstarter ( http://ift.tt/2suxq1d ). Every year $8 billion dollars worth of sheer tights/pantyhose end up in the landfill after only one or two wears. Ripping sheers is as easy as accidentally catching them on a fingernail, or simply pulling too hard while putting them on. Our goal is to replace these disposable products with Sheerly Genius, which has been tested to last up to 50 wears. We have been working on this for about 12 months so far and it has been quite an adventure. When I started out I didn’t think we’d be developing our own fiber and machines, but that’s what it ultimately took. The first fibers I looked at were aramids, like kevlar, which of course were attractive for their strength. To be considered sheer (as opposed to opaque), a pair of tights needs fibers that are 30 denier or less. Denier measures the thickness or fineness of a fiber. I quickly learned that the lowest denier kevlar came in was 1000 denier! So it was a non-starter. It turned out that none of the fibers on the market today were both fine and strong enough to make an indestructible sheer product. Ultimately we had to develop our own fiber; a finer, colored, version of the non-dyeable polyethylene fibers used in higher end bulletproof vests and climbing equipment. To use these fibers we had to retrofit circular knitting machines with new feeding systems and blades, because the fibers are so strong they break typical knitting machines! My background is in software and manufacturing - building and selling two companies prior to Sheerly Genius. But this is my first journey into textiles. In my last startup I worked directly with many hardware companies, but became increasingly skeptical of the trend in IoT towards “connected” anything. One thing I love about this project is that we’ve been able to innovate in wearables without being connected. Fun Fact: Half of our backers on Kickstarter so far have been men! I’m looking forward to talking manufacturing, textiles, and crowdfunding. Can’t wait to hear your ideas and experiences in these areas. Also happy to answer any questions about our journey in developing the product so far!

Show HN: Jigsaw Composer – mockup environment in a chrome extension
2 by skaplun | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey internet people, over the last few months I've been working on a project that's been nagging at my brain and I'd like to share the results with you and hopefully get your thoughts. A few years ago I had a theory that we could avoid unnecessary redesigns & improve the quality of dynamic interfaces with a tool that can plan - create mockups/prototypes - on top of existing sites. Now, a very early prototype of this tool exists, a chrome extension tentatively called "Jigsaw Composer", with Jigsaw we can: - Manipulate any site component - Add & manipulate external components & icons from popular libraries (bootsrap/material/semantic ui) - Add & manipulate html components from other websites - Add & manipulate images uploaded from a pc or other sites Manipulate = everything you'd expect from a mock-up tool The extension is chrome storage based (no data gathering from me) & free http://ift.tt/2HdxANN hope to hear your thoughts and feelings :)

Launch HN: Haiku (YC W18) – Build and Design Cross-Platform UIs and Animations
6 by zackbrown | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! Haiku is a UI-building tool for both designers and developers. You can import vector and bitmap assets, animate them with a visual timeline, make elements respond to events, script behavior (if you like to code), then publish as production-ready UI components. Haiku components are versioned and can be pulled into codebases via Git or npm. We are a remote, international team of six. We've all spent years in various design/development roles, and we've all run into the same problem: When building software, teams waste too much effort creating designs in design tools, then reimplementing those designs in code. Here's how we're working to solve that: 1. Create a common tongue for design tools and codebases to communicate. We're starting with a simple JavaScript file format that can capture both how designs look and how components behave, where animation is a first-class citizen. We call this format Haiku Core and we've open sourced it under the MIT license, along with a standards-driven interpreter/renderer for that format on the Web. We'd love to hear from the community about how to improve our format or Web renderer. 2. Create a design tool that speaks that language. Our desktop app, Haiku for Mac [2], brings a familiar visual design/animation experience to designers, while remaining connected to the world of code. Haiku tracks designs with Git and delivers versioned components to developers. Haiku automatically sets up and hosts Git infrastructure and npm registration for your components. (This infrastructure is optional. Your files always sit on your computer, and you own them.) 3. Integrate with the tools that design/development teams already use. If you like to draw, you can keep designing in Sketch and see changes sync on stage. If you like to code, you can edit Haiku source files directly in your favorite text editor. Out of the box, Haiku components are compatible with vanilla web codebases, React, and Vue. Haiku also supports exporting to Airbnb's Lottie format, allowing native animation authoring for iOS, Android, or React Native. Thanks for reading, HN. We know this subject is close to many people's hearts here — we'd love to hear what you'd like to see in a UI-building & collaboration tool like Haiku.

Launch HN: Medumo (YC W18) prepares patients for surgeries
4 by adeelyang | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! We are building enterprise software that prepares patients for surgeries ( http://www.medumo.com ). Millions of patients go through these things every year. The problem is that patient instructions are provided months in advance, in the form of paper handouts or verbal instructions that are easily forgotten. As physicians, we saw firsthand how poor patient experience can impact hospital operations and surgical outcome. For example, when patients forget to stop medications that can cause bleeding, the surgeries have to be cancelled last minute which is costly. Or worse, poorly prepared patients get the surgery and have avoidable complications. Our team came together to solve this problem with patient navigation software that gives turn-by-turn instructions, reminders, and educational material through friendly, accessible medium (SMS/email) to deliver the best experience and surgical outcome. Unfortunately, health systems are notorious for moving slowly, so introducing a new digital platform can be challenging and slow. We are overcoming this by starting with simple use cases like colonoscopy, proving our value quickly and expanding to other areas. Another challenge is that patients respond differently to instructions; so instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we are constantly varying instructions and A/B testing patient behavior to improve outcomes. 12 hospitals use our software to date. We have demonstrated improvement in show rate and procedure preparation quality. Here’s an example: http://ift.tt/2BMTbNw... We know HN has a lot of people who have experience building or selling software to hospitals and faced tough obstacles with the scars to prove it. We'd love to hear your thoughts around hospital enterprise sales, pilot design, patient engagement, and anything else that you've seen come up on your journey!

Our team came together to solve this problem with patient navigation software that gives turn-by-turn instructions, reminders, and educational material through friendly, accessible medium (SMS/email) to deliver the best experience and surgical outcome. Unfortunately, health systems are notorious for moving slowly, so introducing a new digital platform can be challenging and slow. We are overcoming this by starting with simple use cases like colonoscopy, proving our value quickly and expanding to other areas. Another challenge is that patients respond differently to instructions; so instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we are constantly varying instructions and A/B testing patient behavior to improve outcomes. 12 hospitals use our software to date. We have demonstrated improvement in show rate and procedure preparation quality. Here’s an example: http://ift.tt/2BMTbNw... We know HN has a lot of people who have experience building or selling software to hospitals and faced tough obstacles with the scars to prove it. We'd love to hear your thoughts around hospital enterprise sales, pilot design, patient engagement, and anything else that you've seen come up on your journey!

Launch HN: Substack (YC W18): Paid email newsletters made simple
1 by cjbest | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, we’re Chris Best and Hamish McKenzie, the founders of Substack ( http://ift.tt/2gpedsx ). We’ve built a tool that makes it simple for a writer to start a paid email newsletter. Sign up, connect to Stripe, and go. Our first publisher, Bill Bishop, writes a newsletter about China ( https://nb.sinocism.com ) and got to six figures of annual revenue on his first day on Substack. Bill had been publishing Sinocism as a free newsletter for five years and had 30k subscribers. Now he can make a living from it. Hamish is a journalist who has done everything from writing about indie music in Hong Kong to being lead writer for Tesla. We bonded over our shared love of reading when he worked at Kik, where Chris was the technical co-founder. Last summer, Chris was taking time off and asked Hamish to read an essay he was trying to write about the incentive structures of social media for writers, and how growing outrage and polarization was making it hard to have reasonable conversations. At the same time, we both loved Ben Thompson’s newsletter, Stratechery, which was doing really well off paid subscriptions. We wondered: what if it were easier for writers to start something like that? That felt more like a company than an essay, and so one thing led to another... An example of a Substack newsletter you might enjoy is Versioning ( http://ift.tt/2BffuKJ ), a daily reading list for web developers and designers. We also recommend Mallory Ortberg’s The Shatner Chatner ( http://ift.tt/2zSs7fe ) and Helena Fitzgerald’s Griefbacon ( http://ift.tt/2Be14dM ). The product is still in a pretty early phase but we’ve just launched our self-serve beta, where anyone can create a newsletter, free or paid: http://ift.tt/2BKocSe . At this stage, it’s completely free until you start charging, in which case we take a fee: 10% for people who start during the beta. We know a lot of folks on HN care about this stuff too, so we’re keen to hear your feedback. Also: if you know any writers you’d be happy to pay to read (or if that’s you), we’d love to hear about that too.

Launch HN: Supermedium (YC W18) – A full VR browser for web-based VR content
4 by dmarcos | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Supermedium.com is a full VR browser for web-based VR content. Download Supermedium, put on a headset, and navigate dozens of full VR sites. Pages load quickly and are built with Web standards (WebGL, WebVR, JS). Anyone can publish and share VR content, regardless of whether that content is bite-sized, wacky, lower fidelity, a store’s homepage, an educational outing for a few students, a meme, or something taboo. Anything goes. Back in 2012, I was researching for headsets that I could watch movies on. I thought it would be cool to have a giant TV anywhere at home or on the go. Soon I became a lurker in the MTBS3D.com forums. I followed the first conversations between Palmer Luckey and John Carmack experimenting with VR hardware [1]. I was one of the 50 members that sent money to Palmer Luckey’s personal PayPal account to get a DIY prototype kit of the early Oculus Rift [2]. I got to try an early version of the Rift and an early 3D-printed prototype of what would become the HTC Vive. It felt the future was approaching quickly and I did not want miss out on the next technological revolution. I was on a quest to find a way to combine my knowledge of the Web with my newly discovered passion in VR. Kevin and I were teammates on the original Mozilla VR team that kicked off the WebVR initiative. Together we created and grew A-Frame, an open source framework to help Web developers build VR content in the browser. Two years later, we continue to volunteer our time to maintain A-Frame alongside its community. We are kids from the Web; we formed as programmers using browsers as our playground. We loved learning from others using the built-in developer tools and sharing our experiments with just a link. But we witnessed first-hand how slowly the Web reacted to the rise of smartphones and app store ecosystems. The Web became an afterthought. We know it is still the early days for VR. VR hardware is expensive, clunky, and software feels undercooked. But we believe that in the future, headsets (whether VR or AR) will replace traditional displays, transforming the way we interact with computers. We want the Web to be a first-class citizen on VR and on immersive platforms going forward. We founded Supermedium to try to help establish the Web as a valuable foundation for the next big shifts in personal computing. We want to bring the best ingredients of the Web to VR. And it starts with a browser. Looking forward to hearing feedback, Diego. --- [1] http://ift.tt/2FSQist... [2] http://ift.tt/2EnP4IN...
