Show HN: 100- xyz Lets wifi guests land directly on your webpages

1 points by 100-xyz 7y ago ↗ HN

The YC W19 is just an optimistic joke :-)

We, http://www.100-xyz.com are in the process of launching our product.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks

Indeed, Launch HNs are for YC startups after they've been accepted (best of luck!). How about a Show HN instead? https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Sorry for the late reply. Still getting used to the weird design of this site :-)

Couple of options to try: 1) Pledge at our upcoming kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/100-xyz/298281515?ref=5...

2) If you have your own Raspberry Pi, you can participate in our beta (we are getting ready to close it soon). You can download our image, burn it to an SD card and run it. For more info, you can contact me at leisenming AT protonmail DOT com
