Goodbye SSO tax. Hyperscale security for all.
Hellō provides an abstraction layer between identity providers and applications, addressing both personal (B2C) and workforce (B2B) identity challenges. By simplifying integration and enabling a holistic view of user identities, Hellō resolves key issues with both centralized and decentralized approaches to identity. Centralized identity systems are often controlled by private organizations that prioritize their own interests over those of users and developers. This dynamic has historically led to trust issues, exemplified by Microsoft Passport , which faced significant criticism and was later scaled back . Similar concerns persist with modern social login providers like Google, Facebook,…from hello.coop

Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
