I built https://zebra.page/ during time off from work around the holidays. Stripe came out with payment links a few months later. Not exactly the same thing, but enough to dissuade from spending time marketing it.

I like to think of it as protocols being better “middlemen,” when they’re up for the job, compared to a company. Wrote about it here: https://medium.com/openbundle/when-protocols-replace-compani...

This is great, thanks for the writeup! We are actually building something quite similar. We have a rough landing page up at hireross.com. Airbnb folks, I'd love to chat if you're up for it. Just to learn more. email is at the bott

I'm tim at ticketleap if you want to talk about them using Ticketleap/Selfie Ticket.

There are indeed a couple security features. Answered here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7277671

Reporting in the app tells them how many have activated their Selfie Ticket. You can only activate it in the window 24 hours before the event, so it's a pretty good indication they came.

You're right! The feature doesn't end by simply getting into the event. Stay tuned.

Look, you created Immunity Project. That's pretty cool and coming from that perspective, I can see why you think Selfie Ticket doesn't need emotion its positioning. However, we think we're onto something with this and it&#x27

Completely agree. People don't have a problem selling tickets -- that's been solved. People do have a problem growing their community. That's the problem we're solving. Events are a great way to do that and if THATs your

There are two types of people in the world. Those who hate QR codes, and those who don't know what they are.

You don't take the Selfie until 24 hours before (at most -- you can wait if you think you might sell it). Until then, there's a simple flow to email the ticket to someone else.

Couple things help this. Clock ticking, colors aren't known until late, it's part of the app (you could tap "back"). But honestly, many of these events we work with weren't scanning barcodes. They were just collecti

Thanks! Yes, fallback is the traditional barcode ticket.

Hackathons, yes. The selfie aspect makes it a fun/ceremonial part of the experience of the event. 1 day before, you get the email, you take your pic, and you get excited for the event the next day.

Some have used the phrase "explainer video" but I don't think that's quite right in this case. I can tell you (I'm the CEO of Ticketleap) it was the brain child of our super talented @bobhoranjr
