    Bash script to automatically download a notion workspace

    Notion | Engineer, Designer, Data Science, Sales, Marketing, Support | SF, NYC, Dublin, Tokyo | https://www.notion.so | Full-time

    == Intro ====================================

    Hi Notion founder here. At Notion, our goal to create the general purpose work + computing tool for a post-file, post-MS Office world. My cofounder and I often joke that this was like the "hot startup topic" of the 90s. Unfortunately, tools for knowledge workers haven't advanced much since then. The state of art is either Google Docs/Quip/Dropbox Paper (multiplayer WordPerfect), or rigid SAAS apps (forms + a table+ some buttons).

    This is our product: https://notion.so

    We are hiring across every function: engineering, design, data science (looking for our first one!), sales, marketing, support... More details here: https://www.notion.so/jobs

  • argo-navis

    Argo Navis repository for research, docs and misc items

    argonavis.io | Lead Software Engineer | NYC | Full-time or Part-time

    Do you like space exploration, modular SSTO spaceplanes and player-driven economies?

    Argo Navis is an early stage, deep tech game project based in NYC.

    We're looking for a part-time to full-time lead software engineer that can potentially continue as co-founder. Compensation is heavy on equity but we have funding for market rate cash pay. The role can be partially remote.

    We're working on a new multiplayer space-based sandbox game. Our current focus is physics simulation, procedural generation and resource-based economics. Two major influences are Kerbal Space Program and Eve Online.

    The game engine, server and client code are all in an embarrassingly early stage. The plan is to flesh these out with prototype implementations of spatial reference frames, Orbital / Newtonian mechanics and collision detection / resolution. All game states and state transitions will be wrapped in a cryptographic layer to support verification of the current game world, its history and replays of partial world states. Deterministic randomness (not a contradiction; see BLS crypto) will drive the procedural world generation. Players interact with the server exclusively through secure cryptographic signatures - enabling the game and all its interaction to form a secure protocol. But don't worry, we're not building a blockchain nor shilling any tokens :)

    The project is radically open: all server and client code is open source and all digital / sound assets are open and free to use. Drafts of first principles, source code:
