Show HN: CodePress – Save $50k+ a month on Cloud Agents

https://codepress.dev/

Since agents have taken companies + enterprise by storm, we've been working on workflows to get the most out of agents that get work done.Along the way, we built our own agent cloud where we ping these agents from any surface we work in, like GitHub or Slack. This lets us run tons of agents at a time, and as everyone knows, running agents like this could add up in inference cost!So we built...

Sounds like an awesome opportunity for someone art focused with a tech background!
Re:Mozilla’s Fix-the-Internet Incubator on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @02:31PM (#23314748)
Hey everyone, cool to see this being shared again. I'm Patrick, one of the mentors for this Incubator. Lots of chatter in this thread already, but just want to reiterate what we're offering / looking for in this Incubator:

We have 3 different offerings for this Summer. All incubator style, meaning you meet weekly or biweekly with mentors and we really try to help drive you from point A to point C.

1. $75k investment in a startup. MUST be serious about wanting to build something awesome and put in the hard work it takes to do so.

2. $16k funding in a much earlier stage project (idea stage / MVP stage). MUST be serious about commitment it takes to get to launch.

3. OPEN LABS: these are open to the entire community and you have access to the mentors. 10 min checkins each week & peer sessions. We've had TONS of amazing projects for our Open Labs in the Spring and we hope to see TONS more for the Summer.

In terms of MISSION and what we're looking for:

We started this new incubator out of Mozilla in order to work with & invest in developers, startups, and technology enthusiasts who are building things that will shape the internet and have a positive impact without needing to hyper focus on the bottom line. Projects, apps, & technologies that will be huge and a big part of the internet ecosystem while also being in line with Mozilla's mission of an open web & ethos of "Privacy over Profit".

Comment below if you have any questions about the programs and we'll be happy to answer them.

hard to tell over this short description.

best thing to do is join our slack (https://join.slack.com/t/mozillabuilders/shared_invite/zt-el...), and join for open office hours and see if you can get feedback from one of the mentors.

regardless, you can def apply! no downsides.

Or just put Qbix
Hm, I thought we got that fixed up.

Put the school you went to or the last company you worked at, if it still exists when you apply!

This is really cool!
yes! we already have teams from Asia, Africa, and Europe participating in Spring.
Here's some more details on this: https://builders.mozilla.community/who-we-fund.html

This is certainly not limiting and we know that there are more categories and just this, but it's a start.

This is our first time running this Summer Incubator ($75k iteration), BUT we are in the middle of our Spring MVP Program. These teams each got around $8-10k.

We have some really good projects from this much smaller program, including https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/neutral/oagdejngkg... (Firefox extension releasing this week), https://ameelio.org/, and more!

So we're not entirely sure whether $75k is the right amount or not, BUT we do know that with $10k, we've had some really impressive projects.

Hey Alex, the $75k is just a start! We're funding projects who are just starting out / getting off the ground.

Imagine you have a big vision to build something that betters the internet and you have only your life savings. Or you've been working on something for a while but haven't been able to put full effort into it.

This $75k is to kickstart teams & projects in "fixing the internet".

hey @kristopolous! yes we are JUST starting our new summer program. Applications are due June 5th.

LMK if you have any questions!

hey billconan, cool site!

yes these are definitely the projects we're looking for. one thing to note would be: who is your target audience?

what we would like to see is a well defined target group and a product that meets that groups needs.

Re:We’re Mozilla’s New Startup Incubator. AMA on Thursday May 14, 2020 @01:36PM (#23182641)
Hey Sylvian, YES! The entire program is remote.

We communicate both synchronously AND asynchronously, i.e. we set up weekly or biweekly -- depends on your preference -- meetings with teams and also are available via email + slack.

Our methodology is to be as non intrusive as possible (it's your project!) but we try to guide you in thinking about problems in the right way, and we've found that a lot of value we add is when people are looking to onboard first users.

We help a lot with messaging, cold email outreach, but much more!

Hey Mathie, we just pushed something today where you can set your own Firefox send url (or set it to send.firefox.com)

Just run this command:

/secure -set-url https://securesend.quantfive.org/

Re:Ask HN: How do you share passwords simply and securely? on Wednesday April 29, 2020 @01:39PM (#23021920)
Hey Mathie, we haven't built that in there yet, BUT I think we can do it quickly.

Will ping you when that's ready!

Re:Ask HN: How do you share passwords simply and securely? on Wednesday April 29, 2020 @12:29PM (#23021048)
Hey all, we built a tool for slack that integrates with Firefox send (open source) that allows you to send passwords securely through slack!

All you need to do is use a simple slash command

`/secure ...` and you'll be able to securely send images, files, or text through slack.

Check it out here: https://slack.securesend.quantfive.org/

I don't know if this has been said yet, but this probably has heavy response bias. If you're a bootcamp grad making 70k per year, you probably won't report it.

The top 5-10 kids from each bootcamp per year probably make these high salaries. It's been years so there's a ton of them around. The others probably aren't making something this high.

Hey superklevint! I explained our stack inside the Video room www.getnando.com/showhn and I'll do it here again:

We're using ReactJS with Redux which is really nice. It lets us pass data effortlessly and the whole ReactJS paradigm is just great.

We're using a couple of services -- Firebase to handle our coderpad and Sendbird to handle our chat.

Then we're using pretty vanilla webRTC to a server, so the peer connections aren't peer to peer, but peer to server to peer. This makes scalability better as well as connectivity (one guy who has really slow internet won't affect the group as much).

Then our application server is a simple NodeJS server that manages each individual room.
