jwtuckr··on Announcing: NewSpace Ventures
Announcing: NewSpace Ventures

​​I'm always searching for new, compelling businesses cropping up from the fast growing NewSpace Industry. As a space enthusiast, I believe ​it’s important to always be looking toward the future and follow market and industry trends. Seeing the new products, services, and capabilities can reveal new insights and inspire new ideas. And the earlier you discover them, the better.

So, I​'m assembling an invite-only group of space enthusiasts with a simple goal: share, discover, and discuss new and interesting NewSpace companies, products, and services.

​How it Works:

1) Contributors can submit links to NewSpace companies products, or services on our private Slack channel. 2) Once per day, the collection of ​companies, products, services and ​their ​links are emailed to subscribers with attribution of who made the submission.

Contributors:

I am limiting contributors to keen Space Enthusiasts I know and admire. I may open it to a wider audience in the future so if you’re interested in contributing, shoot me a message here on FB.

Two rules:

1) Don’t state the obvious. E.g. everyone knows about SpaceX. 2) Don’t repeat past company/product/service entries (if you can help it).

jwtuckr··on Show HN: GlassWireframe – Easily Design Mockups for Google Glass Apps
Hey everyone! I made this because I wanted a simple way to plan-out this idea I had for Google Glass, but no knowledge of how Glass actually worked (best practices, display resolution, etc.)

Thinking others had the same problem I designed GlassWireframe much like any other mockup tool out there, yet specificly for modeling the look, feel, and interactive properties based on the official GDK.

I was very happy to see the hundreds who signed up to test the private beta; and I'm happy to announce it's now open for public use.

GlassWireframe is still young and has much room for improvement. Here are a few things we're working on to make it better based on user feedback:

- Collaboration: multiple accounts working on the same project

- Preview Mode: Viewing your Glass App creation set against uploaded scenic images, from the POV of a Glass User (much like starting a PowerPoint presentation)

Hope this helps! I believe the future is in wearable technology, and creating tools like this to aid startups and entrepreneurs towards this new frontier is a smart thing to do.

You can try these. I think the first one is more of what you're looking for. Hope this helps.
