Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma Browser. I've previously worked in developer relations at Cloudant (YC S08), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto.

I view crypto as primarily a developer platform and an experiment in building an open financial system, which unfortunately comes with politics, hype, and price rollercoasters.

We started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity (HNS, ENS; Unstoppable Domains in testing) and storage (IPFS; Arweave in testing). Our next steps include wallets for main chains and experiments with GPT/LLMs and gaming.

Email me if anything at yuriy at pumabrowser dot com

Bob was part of my on-site eng interview at Square in 2011. While I didn't get the job (either visa or didn't clear the bar), he deeply inspired me to build and eventually move to SF. If that's an effect he had from spending 45 min with him, can't imagine what it's like for people closer to him :( Amazing human and incredibly talented humble builder. RIP

Congrats! Here's an algorithm to predict next Voyage hires: 1. Look at who was in the videos for Self-Driving Car nanodegree 2. They will eventually hire them :) 3. ... 4. Profit

Would be great to have it post to slack if something reaches X points

Oh wow, thanks for some nostalgia! I grew up in Ukraine and played with this :). It wasn't exactly the most reliable thing (like lego bricks are, for example), but definitely fun memories!

Great review! I've been playing with the new Nexus 7 for last two weeks and it's the best tablet I've used so far. Android is killing it.

Looking forward to Moto X becoming available at Play store.
