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?

Great questions! 1) What are the differences between Scispot and Benchling? Scispot is completely no-code. So, you can design your own sample manager, pick and choose the workflows you want to automate, and set inventory automation (maintain an always-updated inventory with our inventory automation module).

2) What are the things you offer that nobody else does? There is no other no-code workflow automation in life science space yet.

3) How long have you been developing the product? One year

4) If it is only three people, why would a lab choose you over established players? We only mentioned our founding team as part of the post. We have a team of highly talented engineers, scientists and advisors without whom Scispot wouldn’t be the product it is today. Customers choose us because we are more agile compared to bigger companies. Our agility comes from the orchestration layer that you can use to design your own life science workflows. For instance, every customer has its own different flavour of Scispot with different workflows, and metadata.

Happy to set-up a call to continue your discussion.

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. During the pandemic, all of our…

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.

We believe we actually enable the community aspect within each workspace but also within each company we work with. We are an additional distribution channel for our space partners. For our business clients, we are a new way to enable their workforce to be more productive while saving overheads on their fixed leases.

Amazing work guys!!! You should expand to Europe next!

Thanks. Both Chris and I are actually originally from Europe and we have it in mind for our global expansion plans.

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

Thanks for raising this. In our target markets (SG, HK, Asia) this has not been an issue as majority of people are not aware of this. But we will take this into account as we expand down the road.

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…

Why should someone want to build a 3D website? Or are you only targeting people who already know they want to build a 3d website?

I quite like this and my experience on your 3D website was very smooth. I wonder about the following points:

- Would creating a 3D website hurt my SEO?

- Would the content be somehow accessible for users who are entering the website on devices that don't support WebGL? Is there any fallback?

- A 3D website looks cool and creative but does it really engage users more than a standard one? Would it increase my conversion rates or keep people longer on the site (subtracting the time to figure out the controls)?

We're Alison and Audrey, cofounders of Ruth Health ( https://www.ruthhealth.com ), a digital + at-home clinic for pregnant people :] We deliver 30-minute, online physical therapy video sessions to help the 83% of postpartum womxn with moderate-to-severe Pelvic Floor Prolapse—in other words, who pee in their pants after pregnancy. Birthing people deserve a life without postpartum pain and incontinence. With our person…

This seems promising. My wife wonders what the 5x time reduction is based on and what your therapy offers over training guidance provided by her primary OB, which cannot he provided entirely virtually but doesn’t require such lengthy sessions. Perhaps this is more a service for acute issues and not proactive pelvic health? Glad to see more such services forming either way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As a start, matching the individual thread name format would be great, e.g: Launch YC (S21): 3D Web; Training... :-)

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.

>which is 8% of the 80-char limit.

What a strange problem to have. Why not just increase the limit? Why can't you have a special title with a higher limit?
