The YC W19 is just an optimistic joke :-)<p>We, <a href="http://www.100-xyz.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.100-xyz.com</a> are in the process of launching our product.<p>Our product is a small hardware (a Raspberry pi) programmed to be a captive portal and a local web server. Here's how it works:
1) User visits a business and joins its wifi
2) User is alerted that log in is required
3) User clicks and lands on the local web server which has wifi owners web pages, along with a log in for internet section.<p>Use cases:
Restaurant - client lands on the menu and can place order. Waiter can take the order.
Salon - client lands on different styles. Can choose those she likes and discuss with hair dresser.
Household - neighbours can see what the owner is up to and leave messages, things to sell, activity partners etc.<p>Looking for folks to try it out. You would need a Raspberry pi with a minimum 16GB SD card. We can supply you with a system image that you can burn and run. Please contact if interested.<p>I am quite new to Hacker News. If this posting or parts of it are not within guidelines (which Ive read), the higher powers can edit/delete.<p>Thanks
Indeed, Launch HNs are for YC startups <i>after</i> they've been accepted (best of luck!). How about a Show HN instead? <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html</a>
