Density

In plain words

Density is an infrastructure system that counts people anonymously using hardware and API tools. It's designed for organizations that need to understand how spaces are being used without tracking individuals. The system combines physical sensors with analytics software to provide real-time occupancy data. It works for offices, retail locations, and other venues seeking to optimize space utilization and operational decisions based on foot traffic patterns.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
