Advantages of Amazon Cognito

What it does

Amazon Cognito is an Amazon Web Service (AWS) product that controls user authentication and user access for mobile applications over various devices. It is a service that makes it easy to save mobile user data, such as mobile app preferences or game states.

Add user sign-up, sign-in, and data synchronization to your apps using Amazon Cognito services to empower enterprise mobility based on your business needs.

In the past, it was often necessary to embed credentials into an application and then develop complex systems to ensure that users only had access to their own data. For example, an application might need a key to obtain a token to access an API, a username and password to retrieve a user’s account from that API, and yet another set of credentials to call a service to read and write data. For this, the developer has to deal with heavy coding for the security and authentication. Amazon Cognito addresses these difficulties and allows developers to concentrate more on application development let’s see how.

  Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

  Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
