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…

At least for now, you should consider a persistent overlay that explains that Esc breaks out of view mode and releases control over the mouse. Not being able to use the mouse as you usually do is very unpleasant.

I really like these fun alternatives to ordinary web sites even though the UX designer in me is having a heart attack because of the countless usability and accessability issues

This caught my interest because I've been dabbling with 3D graphics for the web lately. Some feedback: If your product is a no-code editor, why not make that the focus of your website? Squarespace for example doesn't take you to a generic website and asks you to sign up from there, they take you to their editor to start building your own site immediately. You could add examples somewhere else on the site.

Generally an interesting field to work in, lots of uncharted territory in terms of UI best practices and user expectations. Good luck!

Hey HN! I am Satya from Scispot.io ( https://www.scispot.io/ ). Scispot is a no-code workflow automation platform for life science. Think of us as an Airtable for Life science. Life science companies often have no choice but to rely on a laundry list of tools to stay up and running. Electronic lab notebooks, LIMS (Lab Information Management Systems), Google Docs, Asana, Notion, and Airtable are just some of the tools…

I love this; I'm in HCI, but will keep an eye out for this. It'd be good to add more HR type functionality to this and help manage people + finances for academic research labs. What's the roadmap/vision?

According to studies, 74% of CEOs worldwide are concerned that a lack of essential skills in their employees is threatening the future of their organization. With the increase of remote work comes the challenge of k…

Congrats on the launch! I know first hand how aligment and visibility helps on keeping teams focused, I love using Lernit on a daily basis. Keep it up.

There are a lot of tools like this out there: SuccessFactors, Bridge, etc. And there's always room for more, imo.

What are you going to do differently? How are you going to gamify this in a way others don't?

I've worked in lots of places and interacted with many software portals that try to do this right. A lot of them falter by not keeping up with the actual current state of information within an organization (especially a rapidly growing one). Many of the courses end up outdated and they're really only useful for onboarding.

It's probably because of the time it takes and the friction needed to create a course or update a course. Because of that friction and because it's easier to just post to a Wiki / Slack channel / internal blog / etc. the small updates and changes, these courses sometimes languish.

Just questions that come to mind. And congrats on the launch. Wish the best for you!

Though I read the earlier post about batching launches, I'll admit that I was scratching my head trying to figure out what kind of startup would try to cater to pregnancy and desk rentals. Pregnancy + Child Privacy makes sense. Perhaps Life Sciences plays into it somehow too. But why throw in desk rentals as well? Can't blame my slowness on caffeine deprivation either. Anyway it was briefly amusing.

This is timely for us as my wife is expecting (2nd trimester), and we're both very active people outdoors. Post-partum recovery has been a frequent topic of conversation. Am I reading your website correctly that you're doing online telehealth, but limited to SF/NYC/Singapore?

I'm pretty sure they just mentioned those places as examples and are available everywhere. Hopefully the founders will show up to confirm!

Is this product geared towards academic labs that deal with maybe hundreds/thousands of samples/reagents? Or is it geared towards industry processing labs where there are easily thousands of new samples that go through workflows every week or month?

This is really cool but there are a few usability issues. I suggest to overly html DOM ontop of the canvas rather than having users enter form details within the experience as the only method of signing up. Other users who are trying to stand up can stand between my camera and the form itself, making it such that I can't see what the form is trying to ask me or what I am typing.
