Most of the heavy lifting is being done on AWS, and our mobile app is for the user/HW interaction (REACT). The app communicates with AWS AWS and AWS has a constant line connection with the box.

Show HN: What do you think of our new multiplayer workspace?https://www.trymoot.com/Hey there,Another Hacker News Launch for our new product, Moot!Moot is a multiplayer work hub specifically designed around remote teams (like us). In its current form, Moot is a multiplayer dashboard (video/voice enabled with shared cursors) where teams can plug and play blocks that replicate, augment and create the ways they collaborate.Why build yet another SaaS for remote work? Remote work isn’t going anywhere, with office occupancy stagnating at around 50% of pre-covid levels [1], yet remote work can still be so much better. My own experience in building a remote company (now async) over the past year has been great for productivity but pretty tragic for creative collaboration and building general social connection, which is a requisite for most to feel fulfilled in their jobs.There’s also a ton of SaaS cloud apps that are amazing at what they do, but nothing that really ties them together in any substantial way.

Ask HN: How to Stay Focused at Work?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31221475Hi everyone,For context, I work as a design engineer on what I would normally consider interesting projects. Lately I’ve been having an increasingly difficult time focusing while at work and it’s been negatively affecting my performance. Luckily nobody has said anything yet but I fear that they will if I keep moving down this path. Typically I’ll come into work and immediately find myself wandering off task one way or another, then maybe do some work, then wander off again. Even with me blocking distracting sites like Reddit, I’ll end up on a Wikipedia or google maps tangent or something to distract myself. All told I normally only get a couple hours of real work done in a day. This week was especially bad with me doing maybe 5 hours of functional work in total, if that. I even spent time putting together a detailed to-do list for my current project with tasks broken into small items but that hasn’t helped. I also try to space exercise before, during and after the workday (but admittedMay 1, 2022 2:12 AM

Cryptocurrency/blockchain knowledge like religions, there are good concept applicable and useful in life, there are also tons of bullshit, scam, even violence. I would like to collect sources of knowledge that is not related to any cult non-sense.Knowledge in crypto/blockchain stuff I would like to know, for example, what's top 5 coins, overall promising regarding transaction rate, fee, market cap, suitable for application (e.g. dapp), technical and philosophical limitation.

Lucy asteroid probe to set a new distance record for solar-powered spacecrafthttps://spaceflightnow.com/2021/10/15/lucy-asteroid-probe-to-set-a-new-distance-record-for-solar-power-spacecraft/About an hour after launch Saturday, NASA’s Lucy spacecraft will start the delicate process of opening its circular, fan-shaped solar arrays — the largest ever on a deep space probe — to power the asteroid explorer’s 12-year journey into the outer solar system. When it reaches the apex of its interplanetary orbital arc, the Lucy mission will become the most distant spacecraft to ever use solar power, breaking the record set by NASA’s Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter. Lucy will fly by eight asteroids during its mission, including seven objects in the Trojan swarms that lead and trail Jupiter in its orbit around the sun. The mission is the first to explore the Trojan asteroids, which scientists say are leftover building blocks similar to objects that came together to form the solar systems giant outer planets. To get there, Lucy will rely on a few engineering innovations. “The most obvious feature that we have on Lucy is our gigantic, amazing solar array wings,” said Katie Oakman, structOct 15, 2021 2:19 AM

Launch HN: Runway (YC W21) – Easier iOS and Android app releases for teamshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27435377Hi HN! I’m Gabriel, one of the co-founders of Runway (https://runway.team). We’re building a SaaS platform that makes it easier to coordinate your team’s mobile app releases. Runway is an integration layer that sits on top of mobile app teams’ existing project management and development tools, making it possible to understand at-a-glance the status and progress of release cycles and to communicate tasks and blockers — allowing teams to spend their time on improving their product instead of managing releases and tooling.When I was an iOS engineer, my team rotated everyone through the release manager role for each release cycle. I remember dreading the weeks I was assigned this role - I’d get stuck spending a few hours with multiple Chrome tabs open checking on the status of different tools, killing time while waiting for builds to upload, Slacking the owners of various tasks, and referring back to a 40-line spreadsheet that was often out of date. .
