Happy to answer any questions you have about Parlor!

Howdy HN! First off, I have to say I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time! Over 3000 days ago I joined HN with the goal of eventually posting a “Show HN” for a start…

kyro - I want to congratulate you on your decision! I went through the same thing (graduated in 2011) and it was indeed very difficult at the time. Over time your friends and famil…

tmux really shines for me when starting or switching between projects. I can fire up a rails app with a single command and have all the tabs I like ready to go. Check out prag prog…

if you want to quickly fix number 2 (overlapping text) add some line-height to your banner class (40-45px looked good to me)

But information technology is what I know, and it’s probably too late for me to learn a new field from scratch. Information technology can absolutely save lives - I'd argue that a …

My favorite part is the "I am a new user" button - very slick!

It would be cool to somehow use a digital scale to track supplies. Each time you weigh a reagent, the scale could enter the amount used into Quartzy. Come to think of it, using NFC…

Yeah it might be tricky to sell equipment, although maybe between labs at the same institution might work. An interesting alternative might be "AirBnb" for lab equipment - renting …

Quartzy should look into helping labs sell used lab equipment. It's hard to find a lab that doesn't have some good, functioning lab equipment that is no longer being used. They cou…

I bet this would work amazing if you had a celebrity or two at the event. You could also attach prizes to various seats to get some bidding wars.
