Hy Product Hunt community, This is finally the big day 🤩 After spending several years traveling and consulting clients while sitting at uncomfortable desks, we realised there was a challenge we have to address. Especially during home-office times, people lack physical activity resulting in serious health issues outlined in numerous studies. To address this pain point, we just launched hydesk, a foldable, portable and recyclable sit-stand desk on Kickstarter. Here are some of the features we’re most proud of: 🔁 Patented folding technology making it fully height adjustable (14- 35 cm) ⚖️ As light as your laptop weighing in at only 1.5 kg 💡 Cord-stopper lock allows for a dead easy desk set-up in minimal time 🌎 Made out of 100% recyclable materials 🧠 Supercharging effect for your mind and creativity 🚲 Portable, on-the-go solution allowing you to set up, anytime, anywhere. 🇩🇪 Made in Germany by family-owned companies Oh, and one more thing...only a couple of Early birds left on Kickstarter 😅 A special thank you to our beta users who have helped us get here and to @kevin for hunting hydesk 🙌 We’d @danielbrunsteiner love to hear your feedback and you can also reach us at hy@hydesk.co Hy 5 to your life! Daniel & Finian

I think it hardly makes sense to call it a stand up desk in this form factor. This is more of a laptop stand. Looks extremely uncomfortable for long term use, which is the main reason to get a stand up desk -- to avoid pain that would be induced by long hours sitting. Can easily imagine the neck, back, and arm pain that would come from using this in that way.

@school_4_ants Hi Hunter, thank you for your input. Yes, it is a laptop stand, but since you can also use it with tablets or even books and journals, we thought it was better to call it a desk, so no activity is excluded. Regarding the concern about uncomfortable usage, we worked together with a physician and physiotherapist in order to check the effectiveness and ergonomics of hydesk. It turns out that, when working standing up, it is far more important to have relaxed shoulders and a 90-degree angle of your arms to the working surface, than to have the screen at eye-level. In addition to our early beta testers, we test it ourselves daily ;) so we can tell you that it is absolutely a great feeling getting to choose your personal working height. Hope that helps clarify things, again, thank you for taking the time to comment. Best, Daniel

@david_sipos Hey David, thanks for your comment! We are defenitely thinking about that for the future. Since this first version of hydesk is made for portability, we made it so it fits any small luggae or backbag, meaning it's just about the size of a 17inch laptop. Best, Daniel
