What it does
Relays are 2.8" color Wifi-connected displays you can put up anywhere to show messages or pictures. They can be controlled from anywhere via a web app or the Relay API. There's a wall-mounted version for applications like showing messages to visitors at front doors, and a desk version for showing pictures or notes to yourself (or others) inside.
2.8" color LCD Wifi-connected displays you can put up anywhere to show messages or pictures. Control what they're showing from anywhere on Earth. Easy as 1-2-3. Made in the USA. An Internet of Things gadget that's actually fun, useful, simple, and affordable. With Relay, communicating with visitors is as easy as 1-2-3. The original idea for Relay was a small wifi-connected display you could hang next to your doorbell and tell people things like not ringing the door at certain times because a baby was sleeping, where to leave any packages, when you'll be back, etc. But you can also put Relays anywhere inside or outside the home and office, wherever there's a message you might want to…from foundrytechnologies.com

Talanoa▲341Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Retool▲640Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days.
