Earlier quoted context omitted.

Your instructions initially say to use WASD to move, which is inconvenient for those of us with our pointing device on the left. But it turns out the arrow keys work as well, and the in-site instructions say so (when you manage to click the instructions button, which is quite hard with a trapped pointer).

what browser were you on? Your mouse pointer should be replaced by our cursor if there were no bugs.

This was Chrome on Linux. I had a crosshair cursor in the centre of the screen, and the mouse was just doing looking, so I had to look in a direction that made the button move under the cursor (or something like that - I'm now elsewhere so can't check).

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…

Hello, I am using Firefox on Ubuntu with an AZERTY keyboard. I couldn't move with (unnatural) WASD, nor (more natural) ZQSD, nor (most natural) arrow keys. I could look around using the mouse. A couple of empty white rectangles were in front of me. Suddenly became four empty white squares (like keys ?) when I clicked them. No idea what they are for. All this still need some UI polishing, I would say.

any chance you can email us a screenshot? info@muse.place, if not thanks for flagging this. We did a merge a pr recently for AZERTY keyboards: https://github.com/spacesvr/spacesvr/pull/51

Hi HN, we're Christian (ChrisMischler) and Raphael (raphco) of Deskimo ( https://www.deskimo.com/ ). We provide on-demand access to professional workspaces, where users rent desks by the minute. We've started with Singapore and Hong Kong as our initial markets, with the intention to expand into other markets soon. Raphael and I have been working remotely for most of the past 10 years.

As someone living in Canada, the name stood out to me as insensitive. https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/resources/inuit_or_eskimo.php

As someone also living in Canada, we unfortunately have a vocal minority that wants to feign offence at anything it can find to criticize. Ignore them.

Do you feel this goes against the ideas of coworking spaces and building community where you work? Even local coffee shops can have communities, but this idea seems to want to get away from that.

I hate to complain but visiting this site made me feel completely trapped. I literally could not do anything and could not escape to even close the browser (mouse is 100% hijacked). I had to CMD-Q the whole browser just to get out of the site. Surely there is some UX technique you guys can come up with to free the mouse and improve this. Question for you... what is the best 3D website on the Internet? How do they sol…

I like to think we're one of the better ones https://ayvri.com

This is mostly just a side project now, after 6 years of work. We have our own 3D renderer, but are using our custom Cesium here.

The title of these threads needs work! Possible to group by theme or something? Or just leave out the specifics. The 2-word pitch is cutting too much to be any sort of useful.

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!

Thanks for doing the hard work of experimenting here!

How about mirroring the Who’s hiring format?

Eskimo refers to more ethnic groups than just the Inuit and is perfectly acceptable when refering to circumpolar groups outside of the US & Canada.

Eskimo isn't an offensive word, and is only considered inappropriate when its used to refer to Inuit peoples. Which this isn't.

I'd like each startup to be represented somehow in the title. If possible.

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…

1) What are the differences between Scispot and Benchling?

2) What are the things you offer that nobody else does?

3) How long have you been developing the product?

4) If it is only three people, why would a lab choose you over established players?
