Hi HN, we’re Ben and Alex, founders of Muse HQ ( https://muse.place/ ). We help anyone build immersive 3D websites. Alex and I started building 3D websites because we were bored of building the same old static websites that we have been contracted to do for the past 6 years since high school. Building websites sucked and was boring. Fortunately, Alex discovered the power of three.js. Between us, Alex was the first on…

It's true that the generic nouns don't say much, but the company names would say even less. Since examples are the best way to learn, I would be interested if anyone could come up with a better title for this thread. It's not obvious how to do this!
As a start, matching the individual thread name format would be great, e.g: Launch YC (S21): 3D Web; Training... :-)

Some feedback: - Its not clear how to get the mouse to be free. I was expecting to hold a key (ctrl/alt etc) to free the mouse and press it again to give control back. Now I see that 'esc' is the key to pause the program. Just needs to be highlighted more. - The calendly link seems to be broken: https://calendly.com/muse-3muse/muse-demo-call - Some sites require microphone access without telling why

If I understand your suggestion correctly, that would consume an extra 6 characters in the title, which is 8% of the 80-char limit. That would make it much harder to give each startup a place in the title, and I don't like the idea of leaving any of them out.
I think on balance you're probably right that excluding a startup from the title is a problem though -- so yeah, in hindsight, I think you made the right choice.

Personally, I click on the launch threads because they're part of the current batch: a clear indication that they're part of the current batch (rather than just a generic "launch HN" announcement) is much more valuable to me than the reference to the type of business. The "Launch HN" title is used by non-YC people, meaning these threads come across as non-YC threads than YC threads. I think on balance you're probably…
Another thought I had was "Meet S21". Better? It would free up a char! "Meet YC S21" is too long.
"YC S21" would be the shortest. That is, something like "YC S21: Foo, Bar, Baz" with a word or phrase for each startup. But I'm not sure if that would convey that it's a launch thread.
Another possibility: "YC Launch" instead of "Launch YC".
Our original idea was "Meet the Batch" but that's way too long.

#30Hey HN! We’re Daniel and Arjun, founders of StandardCode ( http://www.standardcode.io/ ). We make it easy for companies to comply with child data privacy laws such as COPPA and GDPR by providing APIs for collecting parental consent and ID verification of minors. COPPA regulation makes it difficult for companies to cater to children under 13 without building in safeguards to collect and manage parental consent and to…
You mention COPPA and GDPR but which country regulation do you cover (and in which language?). How do you ensure that the Parents giving consent are the parent of the child (and that you are not getting spoof?). How do you keep up with the changing regulations, with some country having multiple layers (Union, Federal, State, City, ...).
I like the focus on Childs, but you could also extend it to do KYC for financial institutions, the market may need a cheap and reliable solution.
