Orbit | Frontend with some full stack | Onsite | Full time | React, Typescript, Electron
Post-funding, pre-market startup, you are the first to join so this is ideally a first-developer or even co-founder type role with appropriate responsibility/equity depending.
Let's build a better app platform. To start, by focusing on companies' knowledge based apps. Think: unified search, profiles, and company vocabulary.
But let's make it fun. Using a novel OCR engine we're realizing a leap in computing: the augmented OS; Orbit understands every word on screen in realtime (with &lt;1% battery hit), uses new NLP to sort it into your history by topics/interests. You can organize knowledge using the various apps, or just see context to whatever you're looking at currently using a slick dropdown with quick actions.
And thats just the start. It can eventually power some impressive things down the road from relevancy based on activity to company news based on disambiguated "attention ranking".
Don't you wish desktop apps:
- Stored data in a standardized format using SQLite
- Could share and access data separately from the apps themselves
- Could be easily built with hot reloading and using a shared component kit your team can maintain
- Could be deployed without infrastructure using p2p -- one click deploy
- Instantly launched just like spotlight
- Had reactive queries, a beautiful/large/themeable UI kit, virtual lists and tables, natural language APIs, all typed
- Could go cross platform/device easily
- (insert your ideas here!)
If you love programming in general, are passionate about product, think Bret Victor is great, and generally want to try and make a big difference in the world, please get in touch with me. I need one or two really great developers as it's more fun to do things like this with a passionate team than alone.
