Hi, We are officially launched in pilot mode, with a couple local venues, but someone in the St. Louis area might get some use out of our app, and hopefully the rest of the world in a few short weeks. It is iphone only right now, but we will have the droid up and running in a week or so. This all started for us over a few drinks at a local bar's happy hour, our group was trying to decide where to go next, not having any ideas, and hearing someone blurt out "everyone knows that we are either going to X Y or Z, so lets just pick one and be on our way" just wasn't good enough. This got the…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, We are officially launched in pilot mode, with a couple local venues, but someone in the St. Louis area might get some use out of our app, and hopefully the rest of the world in a few short weeks. It is iphone only right now, but we will have the droid up and running in a week or so. This all started for us over a few drinks at a local bar's happy hour, our group was trying to decide where to go next, not having any ideas, and hearing someone blurt out "everyone knows that we are either going to X Y or Z, so lets just pick one and be on our way" just wasn't good enough. This got the gears turning, we really wanted a better way to choose between X, Y or Z, without having to navigate to 3 or 4 different facebook pages/twitter accounts/websites to get the information that would decide the best option and Qraving was born. We decided to come up with an app that would get us exactly the info we wanted, with direct content from the owners or waitstaff of the establishments. But....everyone also loves free stuff. So we built in a QR code based loyalty program. Owners are given a login to a backend, and 2 QR codes upon signup; one QR is put on any traditional or digital advertising allowing someone with our app to scan it, and add the venue to their favorites; the other allows the waitstaff to allow the patron to receive a point towards whatever loyalty program the owner would like to offer (come in X times and receive Y, or buy W item off the menu and get Z). If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to contact us: [email protected] Thanks!

    Please check it out. I spent all of 2012 learning to code to launch what would eventually become Uncover. I'm super excited to announce that we're finally live. Here's a blog post I wrote on how we got there and a little story behind the startup: http://spencerfry.com/introducing-uncover

    Our little bootstrapped startup is powering CNN's ticker for NYE2014 · ▲154

    Our little startup you've never heard of, called Vidpresso, is powering CNN's New Year's Eve social media ticker! It's a huge accomplishment for us. We're originally Utah based (our other employees are in NM and Karachi though) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bc3GdRrCUAAqLaN.jpg:large I'm posting this more out of sheer excitement than anything. I wanted to share that any startup anywhere can have exciting wins like this... regardless of whether you're in SV, went to MIT, or whatever. Just make something people want, and it'll work out. In 2014, start the thing you've been…

    My first app – The minimalist distance-based transit alarm2014 · ▲67

    Hi all! I'm a 17-year old self-taught developer just starting to tap into the mobile world! :3 This summer, I've worked on a minimalist distance-based alarm clock app that wakes you up before you miss your stop!

    Bootstrapped, Not Profitable *Yet*, & Proud: Pagify2011 · ▲44

    I've been working on an app in my spare time for about the past 6 months in between my day job and taking care of my 10 month old daughter. I'm launching a beta today and would love to get the communities feedback. It's called Pagify and it's an app that allows you to build custom Facebook tabs using their new iframe method. I'm quite proud of the fact that I actually got this out the door. This past year my life has been quite hectic. Let me know your thoughts and give me a "Like" if so inclined :). Thanks View the app at http://pagifyapp.com Skip the Marketing stuff and go straight to the…

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
