Launch HN: Spruce (YC W21) – OSS for User Owned and Provably Authentic Datahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26285687Hello HN,My name is Wayne Chang, co-founder of Spruce Systems, Inc. (https://spruceid.com). Spruce builds open source software that allows for the signed issuance of data to users that can then be verified. For example, transaction histories, educational qualifications, and reputation from online platforms.I grew up on the Internet like many of you. I spent a lot of time on IRC where people frequently tried to dox others, and grew a profound respect for privacy as a result. When your online identity is a big part of who you are, it means a lot more when someone violates your privacy. Online identities will become a lot more of who everyone is, as we’ve seen especially over the past 12 hectic months. Today, we don’t have the right tools to assert control over our own identities or data, and we’re trying to change that with Spruce.When you download your data from Google Takeout, you get a big .zip file that can’t really be used for anything but backups. The same is true with Facebook andFeb 27, 2021 4:07 PM

Launch HN: Milk Video (YC W21) – Edit online event recordings quicklyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26251322Hello HN gang! Lenny and Ross here, working on Milk Video (https://milkvideo.com/), a browser-based tool to turn long videos into watchable clips. We speed up the workflow for marketers editing long, boring Zoom recordings and webinars into visually engaging clips with quality templates and styled captions.Ross and I met 8 years ago in Shanghai, where we worked at an education startup and organized tech and design events. When we realized Covid was creating a tsunami of webinars, Ross noticed the growing cost of editing all the new content as B2B companies replaced their in-person marketing channels with online events.Most registrants to online events don't end up attending. They may be interested in the content, but they won’t take time to watch an entire webinar recording. Webinar content has a short shelf life unless it is reworked into a friendlier format. Doing that with traditional video editing software is cumbersome, so it often doesn’t happen. It’s time-intensive to review vidFeb 24, 2021 4:00 PM

We produce plug & play IoT devices for car owners to connect their ordinary car to the Internet and use a smart phone to get the vehicle real time location, health status, receive maintenance assistance and configure advanced security and safety features.Many years ago, it started with a problem: Maintaining my car was too expensive and time consuming. I am a techie and a problem solver at heart, so I decided to check how can I efficiently solve my problem. Efficiently is the keyword here. It turned out there weren’t many good solutions. I mostly found car diagnostics tools and the decent ones were expensive, professional units, definitely not suited for someone who wants it just for his car. So I thought: OK then, let’s build a simple and affordable diagnostics device that anyone can use.This is how I started working on Cargenta Brain.

Launch HN: Aquarium (YC S20) – Improve Your ML Dataset Qualityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23821502Hi everyone! I’m Peter from Aquarium (https://www.aquariumlearning.com/). We help deep learning developers find problems in their datasets and models, then help fix them by smartly curating their datasets. We want to build the same high-power tooling for data curation that sophisticated ML companies like Cruise, Waymo, and Tesla have and bring it to the masses.ML models are defined by a combination of code and the data that the code trains on. A programmer must think hard about what behavior they want from their model, assemble a dataset of labeled examples of what they want their model to do, and then train their model on that dataset. As they encounter errors in production, they must collect and label data for the model to train on to fix these errors, and verify they're fixed by monitoring the model’s performance on a test set with previous failure cases.

Launch HN: ElectroNeek (YC W20) – Automatically find and automate routine workhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23770214Hey Hacker News! We are Sergey Yudovsky, Dmitry Karpov and Mike Rozhin, founders of ElectroNeek (https://electroneek.com), an automation platform for repetitive business tasks. The product we build let users design software ‘robots’ that imitate human actions in apps and websites, and deploy them to eliminate routine work. Our software also spots patterns of repetitive processes that users do in business app and suggests what to automate in the first place.Some of you may have heard of a technology niche called Robotic Process Automation, or RPA. Basically, it’s about automating user actions on Graphic User Interface level, so no API is needed to automate any type of repetitive work on the computer. It has been known for 20+ years in the software testing space but emerged as a business process automation tool over the last decade, getting big momentum in Enterprise (95% of Fortune 500 use it for back-office task automations).
