Show HN: Bite-Sized Summaries of Patents https://bit.ly/2CHTIm5

Show HN: Bite-Sized Summaries of Patents Hi everyone For the past several months I have been building a platform to publish bite-sized summaries of latest patents. The purpose is to help engineers and product managers keep track of changing technology landscape and learn faster. Recently, we published summaries of 22 Apple patents related to augmented & virtual reality. Follow this link to read: https://bit.ly/3fXCm35 Use cases described in summaries: Move around furniture, make travel less boring, a better Google Cardboard, enhanced interaction with maps, annotate real world objects & more. Please follow the collection if you like the idea :) July 24, 2020 at 05:09AM

Show HN: No Paint Hi, I've been working on this app about making a painting for a few months now and we have just released a new update: (https://bit.ly/3hwGSpo) I added commands with parameters you can access by tapping or clicking the grey bar below the No and Paint buttons. You can also use the arrow keys Left and Right for "No" and "Paint". Since launch we have grown a nice Discord community and have been appreciating some ideas and contributions from users. I'm not really sure what we will do next! Would love to hear people's thoughts. July 24, 2020 at 01:17AM

Launch HN: Sidekick (YC S20) – A new hardware device to connect remote teams https://bit.ly/3eTKct2

Launch HN: Sidekick (YC S20) – A new hardware device to connect remote teams Hi HN, I'm Andy, one of the founders at Sidekick ( https://bit.ly/30EIIhp ). Sidekick is a new hardware device built to connect remote teams with an always-on video call. Sidekick sits on your desk next to your computer — with Sidekick you just turn to your teammates and talk, as if you're in the same room. Like many of you all, we were recently forced to start working remotely because of COVID. After fleeing NYC to return to our childhood homes, we quickly realized that starting a company while remote was brutal. We were missing out on all the spontaneous conversations and camaraderie that occur when we're in the same room. We knew we needed to simulate being in the same room to build our company. Initially we built Sidekick just for ourselves, but many of the founders in our YC batch wanted to try it out! We realized that our founding team wasn't an anomaly for wanting an always-on video device — we pivoted from our previous idea to start working on Sidekick to help the other founders in our batch. Sidekick works best with fast-paced teams that need to be constantly communicating — founders are a great example. We're working with 25 YC founding teams along with experimental product teams at Store No. 8 and Brex. That being said, Sidekick isn't for everyone! If you don't really want to talk to your team during the day, Sidekick probably isn't a great fit. We talked to many teams that tried to hack together a solution with Zoom on an iPad. From the teams we spoke to, we learned that it's really hard to consistently get the team in the room at the same time. Users are constantly leaving the room for other meetings but for everyone still in the room, it seems like nobody wants to use it because it's empty. This causes a negative feedback loop where even more people leave the room and the hacked together solution quickly becomes useless. Sidekick is built to maximize the chances that you're not in the room alone. Unlike other jerry-rigged solutions, it treats "always-on" as a first-class problem to solve. Some examples of product decisions we've made are: - Push notifications to minimize being alone in the room - when someone joins as the first person in the room, we send a notification to the rest of the team. We want to get other teammates in the room ASAP because the room is only useful with more than one person. - Meeting mode - when you have a normal Zoom meeting with someone outside of your team, you can mark yourself as "in a meeting". This silences the mic and speakers on Sidekick while also setting a status informing your team that you're in a meeting, but you'll be back soon if someone needs you. We're also releasing Google Calendar integration soon, allowing Sidekick to automatically mark itself as "in a meeting" On average our users are in their Sidekick rooms for 6 hours a day. They turn it on first thing when they sit down in the morning and leave it on throughout all their meetings during the day. Our customers pay for Sidekick with a subscription model and we have a special promotion until Aug 1st for $25/user/month. The hardware comes for free and we handle all the shipping. We went with this model because we want our customers to pay us for the experience, not the hardware. We didn't want customers to have to think about whether they wanted to buy a pricy new device when the real question should be whether they want to try the experience. We believe that working in the same room is part of the secret sauce to building an awesome company. We want all teams to be able to have access to that experience. I really love this community and I'm excited to share Sidekick with all of you. We'd love to hear your feedback, particularly if you're working on a team that misses being in the same room. Feel free to ask any questions — I'll be around to answer anything you want to throw our way. July 23, 2020 at 04:54PM
