Ask HN: What are you building for Startup School?

Did you get accepted? What are you building?

We’re building Solo, an open source security key that implements the new FIDO2 standard. We’re launching a kickstarter during the school, fingers crossed.

Are these the same form factor as the U2F ZERO? I'd make some enclosures for it if I knew the dimensions.

Slightly smaller. And we’re planning to have colored silicone cases.

Will you be in startup school program, or were you talking at a personal level?

I will be in startup school. I'm interested in a Non-commercial capacity, just a simple 3D printable case to support open hardware.

Conor tweeted a few example: https://twitter.com/_conorpp/status/1031731934643269632?s=21

I’m currently on the road, but I’ll let you have the dimensions. The other tricky part is usb-a vs usb-c.

BTW, here are the cases: https://conorpp.com/designing-solo-a-new-u2ffido2-token

I am building a mall of essential offline services (hair care, skin care, clothes care, shoes care etc) in every square kilometer in India, upping the game in standardized quality offerings at affordable costs.

The problem I'm trying to solve is ideological. I want to see more peace in the world and I think one of the reasons we see so much strife is because too many people are OK with and tacitly approve getting something for nothing. I was accepted with valME.io, a CMS/blogging/forum builder to help spread the idea that trading values makes a much more peaceful environment.

Ouch. Just received the following:

> We are deeply sorry to have to send this email, but unfortunately an error occurred in the software that triggers acceptance emails. The acceptance email was sent to you even though we are unfortunately not able to include you in the Startup School Advisor Track.

> Although you are not in the Advisor Track, you have, in fact, been accepted to audit Startup School and will have access to all of the content just as soon as it is made available.

> Again, we regret having made this error and raised your expectations unnecessarily. We hope you continue working on your startup and that Startup School is a huge help.

Makes me think someone saw this post and said "Hmm... maybe not."

You could develop a CRM that doesn't create false expectations by sending emails to the wrong users.

I’ll kick this off. I got accepted with Page Flows, which is a library of user flow videos to inspire product managers and UX designers (https://pageflows.com). Excited to hear about what others are working on!

I can click anywhere on the video previews to play them, except on the play icon itself. Threw me off at first.

Fixed this - thanks so much for pointing it out. I never click the play button itself for some reason!

Got accepted in the follow up email (were rejected in the original email) with https://skillmint.com - One-stop shop for people to learn and improve their skills in sport, music and art
