#62Solo, an open source security key. Think of the open source counterpart of a Yubikey or Google Titan. Just a few hours ago we've been featured by Kickstarter: https://solokeys.com/kickstarter What makes Solo special is that it's the first security key: 1) open source + FIDO2: https://github.com/SoloKeysSec/solo 2) NFC + USB-C 3) in many colors, i.e. "customizable" also by non-tech people
I love this! Thank-you for your venture. Is there any way I can subscribe to updates? Do you know what your final pricepoint will be? (Often changes from the Kickstarter promises)
Solo will sell for $17.5, and Solo Tap for $35. On KS you’re getting really good deals. :)

#64It is an enterprise search engine which departs from traditional keyword-based search in order to provide an easier way to run complex, semantic queries on huge collections of text documents.
Why it's cool: image a pharmaceutical research task, where you need to find all documents mentioning drugs that interact with a specific class of diseases. In a normal setting, you would need to first research which drugs satisfy your condition and then either build a boolean OR query or probably query them one by one. Doqume saves you this hassle, because it allows to express conditions like "drugs that interact with infectious disease" with a simple user interface. As a result, you can get both the items that match your conditions (i.e., in the example, all the drugs that we know interact with the class of diseases that you specified) and the documents that match the query (e.g., recent research articles mentioning those items). The approach is not specific to pharma and you can easily build queries that span across several domains (e.g., "cities with more than 1M inhabitants", "USA companies with more than X employees", "singers who are born in Chicago", etc...).
If you want to give it a try you can see a demo with this query building capability at http://doqume.com/search.html

#65It enables teams to collaborate on structured data. Think of it as a fusion of spreadsheet, git and a content management system.
Right now it’s in very early stages but I want to get to a stage where I can quit my job and work on it full time.

#66I’d like to think it’s cool because a) it articulates and ridicules a lot of nutty things that most of us in tech recognize, but refuse to talk about and b) it’s fun and makes people laugh each week.
Life’s too serious, so it’s fun to make something that lightens the load.

#67The tech is cool and most of the early customers we have are realizing how important it is to be able to describe and pitch their company in a succinct and captivating manner.

#69Working on a project that uses Chrome Puppeteer - a Node.js API that uses Chrome DevTools Protocol to control a (possibly headless) Chrome. Its very cool because now the phenomenal power of DevTools is accessible programmatically and can be run on CI systems and stuff!

#70I am working on Blubyn - an AI powered travel agent helping users book flights and hotels quickly by personalizing results. Here is the link: http://onelink.to/blubyn (app only - available on both iOS and Android) Being an avid traveler, it has always bothered me that travel experience has remained almost the same over the years. We scout 50 websites to figure out where to go and what to do, where results/posts are s…
