Beam — Encrypted router protecting your data, location and devices

“ Privacy is one of THE hottest topics right now. And so here’s a product that we should all have in our homes and offices. I have been using Flter https://ift.tt/2LIWAPt (the product’s predecessor) for almost 9 months now and can vouch for it’s incredible simplicity and reliability. I’ve been running it 24/7 as a second wifi hotspot at home, connecting Philips Hue bulbs, wifi-enabled plug sockets, games consoles, phones and the like - all to a separate wifi network running a VPN & adblocker underneath. The experience has been great, switching location from within the smartphone app, enabling/disabling the ad blocker too, with the only limiting factor having been network speeds (up & down). It was by no means slow, but I gather Beam will make any bottleneck for fibre broadband a thing of the past, whilst also offering tech that effectively makes it future-proof. Super excited to test out this new unit and get my hands on one in the coming months. And best of all, there’s a tidy discount I gather for all of us when pre-ordering today. ”

Air Traffic Control — A simple action-based router for Redux.

“ The Airplane Mode team has been hard at work building tools to help travelers pick the best flights. Along the way, they’ve been creating tools for the developer community as well. The first is Air Traffic Control. It’s the action-based router for Redux, which they have in production usage on the flyairplanemode.com React / Redux app. They gave a talk last week at Appcues, and dove into their web architecture, the Air Traffic Control router, and their motivations for creating it. I found it impressive, and I think the rest of the community will as well. 👩‍✈️🛩✈️👨‍✈️ ” – Jackson Noel Discussion | Link

The DJ — A Black Mirror inspired app that rewards long relationships.

“ Hey PH! With the DJ I wanted to see how far I could push the concept of expiring relationships by applying them to conversations specifically (I'm also the guy that made the other black mirror app: rateME). Users are rewarded for taking their time to talk to their match as the longer they talk to them, the more that is revealed to them. I use AI to help the DJ in making decisions based on how the conversation goes. All messages are encrypted and analyzed client side as far as privacy and security goes. It's in a fully functional beta release as I'd like for the DJ to learn by example. Let me know what you think! ” – Stephen H. Discussion | Link
