What will be the top 3 trends in 2016, that shape how we build our startups?Hey there,

During the holidays I was thinking about how 2016 will be different, better than 2015. There are a lot of articles about emerging markets, technologies, but those are the focus of entrepreneurs. But I'm interested in what will change in how we build startups...

Here are my top 3 guesses.

1. Augmented productivity:
I'm a fan of the gig economy ever since I ordered the first $5 logo design from fiverr. And I'm just starting to explore MTurk. This year I'll put a lot of effort into learning how to combine these with workflow automation services like Zapier, and new AI stuff... I think such methods could multiple personal productivity. Inspired by the guy who automated 90% of his work.
http://www.businessinsider.com/programmer-automates-his-job-2015-11

2. Improved startup-building platforms:
It would be such a blessing to multiply the ratio of successful startups, and lower the pain of failing. I mean, 9 out of 10 startups fail even in developed startup hubs. That's one metric that we need to fix. Traditional incubators and accelerators are nice, but not too effective in mitigating risks. I loved how YC started Research (http://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-research), and even more, that there are now so much more startup studios (http://buildtogether.co/startup-studio-list), and finally there's a booklet (http://laicos.com/anatomy-of-startup-studios-is-out/) that explains in detail how these venture builders work.

3.Crowd*:
Besides perk based crowdfunding, there are more and more platforms where you can offer equity in your startup for support. That just adds to the option of the founders to get the money they need... who know, maybe even faster than angel money and with better than vanilla term sheet conditions.

What do you think, what are your picks?

,Show HN: A Cryptocurrencies logo guessing game built with Vue.js,Tech shades of blue side-by-side incl new Win 8 logo (Can you guess correctly),Guess the Logo,Ask HN: Book bomb for a Software Development Manager joining your companyAllow me to first set the context. The question is at the end.

On your first day on a new job, you receive a bouquet of goodies. Some of these are essential for you to perform your job (laptop, headphones, mouse, etc.) and the rest are "feel good" things (water bottle, t-shirt, a notebook, a pen, etc. with the company logo on them). I guess the idea is to make your first day memorable, and perhaps down the road, even remind you of this day. I often use a sweatshirt I received from my then employer some 8 years ago, and it still makes me smile to think of my days at that company.

Some companies give books to their prospective new employees (the famous book bomb at Amazon) to help them learn or brush up on a few skills they will need on the job. Employers who do this convey that they care about their people's intellectual growth. What follows is a list of three books that I think would be a good addition to your welcome kit for the new Software Development Managers joining your team.

First is [The Manager's Path][1], which can be a career guide for software developers who have chosen the path of management. The best thing about this book is that it is valuable no matter how far ahead you are on this path. Encouraging your new employees to start thinking in terms of their career ladder and growth path can be a strong motivator.

Second on this list is [Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon][2]. This book distills the knowledge of ways of working that make Amazon successful. Applying even a few of these methods to your work, even if it is only at a personal level, will produce better outcomes for you.

The third is [Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future][3]. The best part of this book is that it encourages business owners to solve problems by applying thinking that starts with first principles. It also teaches you to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Question: What would you change or add to this list of books for new Software Development Managers joining your company/team? Why?

,Guess how many people think Airbnb's new logo look like a,Ask HN: Why does Gitlab's top-right logo now say “Gitlab Next”?I've been a convert to GitLab for around 8 months. But I guess I missed something, because as of today there's a big green "Next" label near the regular GitLab logo. A skimming of the blog and a Duck Duck Go search don't immediately reveal an answer. I've checked it logged in and while logged out and it's still there.

(Quick shill: Github is great for discovering and sharing open source projects, no doubt; but try GitLab for your own FOSS or private repos. It somehow "just works" while being extremely flexible. I run their "built-in" CI runner on VPS and local machines for free, and the whole platform is open source and installable anywhere. Mirror any open repos on Github of course, but it's like a "MegaUpload" site compared to Gitlab's actual tools. Rant complete.).
,Ask YC: New logo, feedback and effects.A few days ago I asked for opinions here about a new logo design with some interesting effects.

Firstly, we got some really helpful critical advice. Thank you all.

Secondly and maybe more importantly are the effects of the logo change on the site. Originally I had no logo on the web app, wanting to restrict the app to the bare essentials and ideally no images at all, also limiting the features / text concentrating on just one core concept. (This is a sort of design challenge I wanted to experiment with.)

Eventually I relented and added a few images inc a logo which was really cheap looking. After lots of complaints, we put a day into creating a new logo, then put up some roughs here for critique, then took on board much of the advice and added the new logo.

The app is scaling quite fast and enjoys decent organic traffic, however a high percentage would bounce straight off, looking at only the landing page. Since the new logo, the stats are very interesting, there is not one hit where they just look at one page and leave, all traffic now spending considerable more time on the site.

I guess this will appear to obvious to some but still it has surprised me and been an interesting eye opener as to the effects of eye candy.

No more critiques pls. Hehe..
,How we fed ourselves for a year & sold a startup...with only 300 lines of codeHello Hacker News,

I’ve been reading HN for a long time now and love the way the community shares thoughts with each other. I haven’t done anything extraordinary or extremely successful, but I want to chip in to the community with this experience that I find pretty interesting.

A year ago, I moved to San Francisco from rural Missouri hoping to join the start-up world. At the same time, I met a friend, Zac, who also just moved to the bay area around that time but had left his job to pursue something more interesting. We decided to become partners and start hacking stuff together.

Since we were new to the city and we didn’t know any one, we decided to build a mobile app that lets people use their phone to read the profiles of others nearby. It was supposed to help people “break the ice” and meet new people. This was our first startup. We coded the product in a week and pushed the product live.

Once live, we got like 5 users, since no one really knew about it. To promote this product, we decided to target events, since we thought that events is where people would like to meet each other. We locked ourselves in a room and asked this question over and over: “What is something valuable we can provide to event organizers so that they can promote our product?”

Zac finally came up with an idea. He proposed that we could build a kiosk where attendees can type in their name, and a name badge would instantly print. Then the attendees would be integrated into our mobile app as well. At first, it sounded insanely dumb (what would my mom think if I told her that I moved 2000 miles away from home to print paper name badges?), and I laughed really hard. But after thinking about it, it seemed “cool”, and we gave it a try.

In a day of work, we wrote the software in 300 lines of code and tested it. We ordered a label printer from Dymo and hooked them up to a Dell Mini 10v netbook. After that was done, we contacted an event organizer, convinced him that our system wasn’t going to fail, and asked if we could print name badges for him.

The event organizer let us try out our system, and that night turned out to be amazing. People thought it was the coolest thing ever to type their name in a laptop and instantly have a name badge print out. At the end of the night, we handed out lots of cards and got lots of people to try our mobile app. It was the first time in my life that there was “buzz” around something I created.

We continued to hit events and print name badges. We bought more printers and lots and lots of labels. We bought a huge travel suitcase to hold everything, and we carried it everywhere to print name badges for events.

The experience was amazing. Not only did we get a lot of people to try our mobile app, but all the attendees thought it was the “coolest” gadget ever. I guess we essentially “engineered” our way into these $600 technology events for free. Many event organizers gave us the front-seats sponsor booth, without charging us a dollar. Some gave us free advertising banners at their events. Most importantly, everyone walked around with our logo on their shirt. We shook all their hands as they walked into the door. Advertising can’t get any better than that. We quickly got our mobile app into the hands of our users, and talked to more than 500+ directly.

Unfortunately, after a month passed, we realized that our initial mobile app wasn’t working. People didn’t want the product. They didn’t want to read profiles about people around them. The mobile app wasn’t useful.

Here’s the weird thing about start-ups: things just happen. Although our mobile app failed miserably, our little name badge printing system became insanely popular. Event organizers were begging us to print badges for them every time they had an event. They were referring us to their friends, and we were hitting events literally every day with our name badge printer. To cater for each event, we forked our original software (which was completely hard coded and not well thought through) way too many times.

Just to name a few, we hit: TechCrunch events, Smash Summit, SF Music Tech, Future/Money Tech, ISA, Twitter events, FailCon/FailChat, TEDxSoma. You can see some pictures here: http://imhello.posterous.com/ .

Eventually, we got so many requests that we couldn’t go to all the events anymore. It was too much for us to handle. That’s when it finally hit us right on the forehead. This is what it’s like to build a product someone wants. Event organizers wanted to use our system. They’ll email you, call you, beg you, and tell their friends about you.

Since we were too overbooked, we decided to charge and up our product. We added EventBrite integration, customization, and polished it up a little. For every event, we would make around $50-$300 dollars (depending on the size and labor).

Soon, this little name badge printing software was now able to support me and my partner’s living expenses. And in the end, we sold the product to a small company. Although it was not an amazing multi-million dollar acquisition, it was an acquisition that gave us enough money to start another company.

The lesson we learned is that something so tiny as a “name badge printing machine” may seem silly and pointless at first, but it led to opportunities you can’t first predict. In our case, it fed us and turned into a small acquisition. We made lots of friends and great people while we were attending these events. Even our $10 Logitech keyboard was touched by many great CEOs and celebrities who came through us to get their name badges. We got completely free promotion and direct advertising.

I think that every startup has opportunities where they can be creative. Every startup can build something on the side and attach it to their product somehow. My advice is that if you find something “cool”, even if it’s small or trivial at first, take it for a spin before dropping it in the trash can. It might just spin into something that can help in the future.

After selling the name badge printing software, we decided to go back and pivot on our initial mobile app. Our new company is called View. View is a mobile app that “tells you what you need to know, wherever you are.” We’re really excited about this app because it’s very useful to our daily life.

We’re about to launch beta very soon. If you’d like to try it, go to http://view.io

Make sure you click the link above instead of typing it through the browser, so we can know you were referred from Hacker News and can give priority access.

Thanks for reading my story!
Felix

P.S. View is not in the App Store yet, but if you’d like to try the iPhone app as a beta tester, shoot me an email and tell me your city/state in the subject line: felix@view.io. We only have a limited number of invitations left, so I can’t guarantee that everyone can try it..
,Launch HN: Paigo (YC S22) – Measure and bill SaaS customers based on usageHey HN! Daniel here, I’m a software engineer and hobbyist hacker. I’m joined by my cofounder Matt. We’re building Paigo (https://paigo.tech). We make it easy for SaaS businesses to bill customers based on usage.

To get your hands dirty a bit we have a stateless and signupless demo you can try out: https://hn.paigo.tech/ and a video of me walking through the system in a bit more detail: https://youtu.be/T6J1Yh8GhdU.

The idea of our platform is fairly straightforward: You give us read-only access to your SaaS backend and based on tenant metadata for your infrastructure, we measure, persist, and aggregate SaaS tenant usage data to give a clear picture of per-client usage. We can measure metrics like API requests, Compute time, Data Storage, Transaction Volumes and many more. Some common scenarios would be: an ML platform could use Paigo to track processed input files for customers, a Data platform could use Paigo to determine the data size customers have consumed, and an API company can use Paigo to track customers’ API requests. Additionally, we also help you understand your cost to serve your clients’ usage, and this data allows us to provide your SaaS with usage based billing.

What’s the problem we are solving? Many SaaS products need to measure their customer's usage in some form, and many want to incorporate it into their billing plans. It’s fairly annoying to either build the entire system in house or to build a measurement system in house and then connect to a billing provider. It takes months to get a usage based billing system up and running and usually requires several engineers (if not more) to maintain and operate. Also, when Sales wants to offer specific discounts or deals to major enterprises, it’s typically handled outside of the in-house system in Excel spreadsheets with some good guesses. This is how a lot of money gets lost for major deals.

With Paigo we handle 100% of the measurement and collection of SaaS customers’ usage for the business. SaaS business can see their customers’ usage within 10 minutes, because all they need to do is give us read access to their cloud account. Since we pull the lower level infra-data we can additionally give information like per tenant cost, and profit margin.

Matt and I came to this project after we built similar internal billing systems at previous jobs and we realized how error-prone these systems can be—one incident might have even undercharged a client by a few million dollars! We also realized there was no solution which integrated directly to a backend system and handled the measurement and gathering of usage data as well as providing the end billing integration to platforms like stripe, AWS marketplace, or through ACH.

To get into the technical details Paigo has a few measurement systems to measure different forms of usage data: infrastructure-based, where we connect directly to cloud APIs then to slice-and-dice per tenant usage data; agent-based, where our agent is deployed into a runtime to gather usage like pod cpu time, memory, and file read write, along with any exported metrics that are prometheus compatible; and datastore-based, where we connect directly to datastores like S3, Kinesis, or log file. We require that the data in the datastore based approach adhere to a standard data format so we can process it. However this allows us to Pull, any custom metrics and dimensions directly from your Datastore. All of this data is then processed and sent to our backend usage journal, where we store it in an append-only ledger pattern.

For clients to search, and aggregate their data into an end bill or to slice and dice their client’s cost and usage we have an API clients can use. We’re an API first company, which is why our demo can work with Retool—the demo is just a very thin skin over our API. The API is a NestJS based application, currently running in AWS Lambda with API-Gateway.

We bill based on invoiced revenue (surprise surprise its usage based) and we have a platform fee, roughly it breaks down to 1% of invoiced revenue on Paigo. Note that pricing is not currently transparent on our website. Our typical customers are mid-sized enterprises where an initial sales call is typically expected. However, we will be updating our main webpage soon to have some self-service options.

For a bit of deeper dive on the measurement engine we have some docs here: https://docs.paigo.tech/

Thanks for taking time to read! Let us know what you hate and maybe what you love :P. We’d also love to hear your thoughts and experiences with measuring customer usage and usage-based billing!.
,Can anyone clear Google cookies from Chrome?I notice today it's impossible to clear google cookies. I had several tabs open, including one to gmail and one to calendar, and I have "Do Not Track" set to "yes".

Then, I clear cookies and close my browser.

Then, I open my browser (it re-loads all my tabs automatically).

As soon as possible, I again clear my cookies.

Finally, when I load the google home page, it still has my account showing in the top corner (my logo, my name, and my email).

My guess is google have some JS which detects cookie loss, and immediately reconstitutes the lost cookies - so all my "clear" requests are being surreptitiously violated...

Does anyone know how to tell chrome to actually get rid of google cookies? Even the "new tab" window contacts google and sets more cookies every time!.
,Ask HN: I'm 17. Should I drop school for YC S12?I'm extremely interesting in applying to Y Combinator for this summer. The only problem is that I'm still in Cegep (a two-year college for Quebec students before they go to university - I'm 17) and so if ever I get chosen, I still have one more year remaining to complete my program (International Baccalaureate in Pure & Applied Science).

I don't think I would drop it, because I ultimately intend to go in computer science at Stanford. Therefore, I would have to leave the Bay Area at the end of August in order to move back in Quebec and stay there during the year and come back in the summer when I'm finish my program.

I would still have time to work on my startup during the year, but at a much lower pace (2-3 hours each night and 8-12 hours on weekends). The other guy on my team (he's 17 too) is in a much less intensive program then me and he could continue working almost full-time on the startup.

Yet, if you guys tell me that I would absolutely need to continue working full-time on my startup, I will consider dropping school more seriously. It would be hard for me, but if it's really necessary I could do it. The thing is, the program I'm currently in, International Baccalaureate, is a program that I must complete in two years. The special thing about this program is that we are the same group for every class (we started 40 now we're 28). If I drop/fail a course, I'm out. And I then need to go in regular science. If ever I were to be selected for YC, the choice would be quite hard as I said, because I really enjoy my program, I'm fond of the other students and I appreciate the teachers a lot. And I also fear that I won't go back to school if I enter the startup world.

At least, I'd like to finish my program and then maybe take a break from school to focus on my startup. My program requires a lot of effort, it's considerably more challenging than regular science, and I just don't see myself dropping it when I'll be halfway through it, but still there's a lot of chance I would - it's 50/50. I'm constantly debating in my head whether I should drop or stay, but I guess I'll wait to see if I'm selected for YC to make a final decision. Ultimately, I feel I would drop my program, because YC is such an amazing opportunity and also because I have a very good co-founder who is a long-time friend of mine. He would definitely succeed in convincing me :P

Moreover, I'm the only one writing code. My co-founder (who's currently studying in Business Management) will be working on the marketing (posting on the blog, making videos showcasing the app, posters in schools and other places, talking with other companies so that they use our app, etc.) I also have a graphic designer that will not be directly involve in the startup but that will do my logo and help me design icons, textures, etc.

Without even knowing anything about my idea (I can tell you though that even if I'm the only technical founder, it's not an overwhelmingly complex app and I am confident that I could manage the coding alone. All features would get implemented during the summer. During the year, I would only make little changes to the user interface and update the content of the app, but I probably wont implement radically new features, that is if I choose to stay in school. The goal during the year would be to get as much users as possible and thats exactly what my co-founder would be working on full-time. Complex new features would get implemented in the following summer.), because really I don't want to be chosen for my idea but rather for my team (I've got this interesting idea that I want to work on, and I like it because I would actually use the app, and actually, Ive got a bunch of startup ideas (Im the kind of guy that always has tons of ambitious projects going on and new ideas in mind: I want to code apps, make feature films and crazy edits, learn new monologues by heart, run marathons, travel around the world and learn new things!), but this particular one is not too complex to implement, yet if it turns out that I choose to do a completely different project, then so be it! Anyway, I dont think the idea I apply with matters that much (but it ought to be good obviously), because anybody could apply to YC with a similar idea and develop a similar app. But would they really be as much passionate as us about the app and as much caring about the users, would they achieve to convince companies of using it, would they convince people of using it? I know we would. My point is that Im expecting to be chosen a lot more because of my team than because of my idea. (If you're interested to know what my app is though, email me (frabrunelle@gmail.com) or skype with me (francisbrunelle)). I want to build useful products and it thrills me that with the internet millions of people could be using them! But what thrills me even more is that if ever I do YC, I would be hanging around with dozens of other developers that are in the same situation as me. I want to discuss and debate about ideas with those developers. It would be an insanely great and enjoyable experience. And thats exactly why I want to do YC: for the experience.), do you think I have any chance of getting selected? Or should I wait for next summer, when I will have finish my program? The thing though is that I will still continue to go to school (Stanford, MIT, McGill or somewhere), so again I will have the same problem as the one I have right now.

I truly enjoy school but the real reason I want to go in c.s. at Stanford is to meet other c.s. students and start a startup with them. I'm also interested in studying in theatre, so I'm really not dropping school soon. But I don't want to wait after university to finally apply for YC, I feel ready now. The reason I want to go through YC is to meet interesting people, discuss ideas and because I'm sure it would be a tremendous experience. If I don't get chosen, I will still develop my app over the summer, but I just think YC is an outstanding opportunity and that I ought to at least submit an application. I will continue submitting applications every summer until I'm chosen.

P.S. As a developer, I'm not that skilled, but I always manage to figure things out by myself and find a way to do what I want. If I'm stuck, I don't easily give up. Nevertheless, I'm more of an idea guy. I'm currently following tutorials from http://www.raywenderlich.com/store since December in order to get more familiar with the iOS 5 SDK. When I'll finish them, I'll look at the Parse SDK (http://parse.com) and then at the Facebook iOS SDK (https://developers.facebook.com/). I will then code an app similar to FML but it will be called 'You know you're in IB when...', IB being the program I'm currently in. I will integrate the Parse SDK and the Facebook iOS SDK in this app. It's a simple app that I want to do for testing purposes and also because I know that my other classmates would actually use it and that fact motivates me a lot. I will then start working on the real app that I want to do for my startup. My goal is to have a working app with bare minimum features for the end of May so that I have something to show if ever I move to the Bay Area. I'm working toward this goal 2-3 hours everyday and 8-12 hours on weekends..
,Ask HN: promoting and positioning very early stage web apps?I'll put the 'TL/DR' version up front: When following the 'it's never too early to launch' philosophy, how do you position the application to visitors or potential customers?

I hear PG and others saying often that you can't really launch too soon; that you should launch as soon as your app is remotely useful; in fact that if you were not uncomfortable with the state of the product when you first launched you waited too long.

I've done that, launching the first iteration site of a site in the past week. While the feedback (quite limited so far) is helpful and interesting, frankly I am a bit uncomfortable with the state of the product. The site has some utility but it should be obvious to anyone who spends any time on there that this product is in what I'd consider a pre-beta state. It's not that the site is buggy or that there are dead ends or 'coming soon' links or anything like that. The features that exist in the live version are relatively polished. It's just that the site is clearly 'light' on features and content.

I want the feedback from having my application live, but I'm afraid my app isn't complete enough yet to justify promoting it very much. But without promotion I won't get much feedback.

(One answer is laboratory style user testing, paper prototyping and the like, but I could have (and to a limited extent, did) do that without launching. I believe there's something valuable about the real world context, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the initial impression I'm giving to visitors.)

So, how do you position a very early phase site with customers/visitors/users? I guess we could slap a 'beta' sticker on the logo, but that feels like the modern equivalent the 'under construction' digging guy from the 90s--it indicates 'broken and likely to stay that way' as much as 'early stage and dynamically improving'. Besides, is 'beta' is just a term of art for our industry? Does the public at large relate to 'beta' in a meaningful way? I'm not sure my target market does.

Is there a way to say 'yes, we know it is lame right now but just you wait and see' without turning off potential users or looking unprofessional? Is there a way to send a strong enough message to invite the public at large to check out the site without setting them up to say, 'lame, call me back when it's ready?'.
,Neutron Drive Taken Down from Chrome Web StoreToday I received notice that my app https://www.neutrondrive.com/ was taken down from the Chrome Web Store for a branding violation. This sucks and I plan to fix the logo but it would have been nice to get at least a little heads up to fix the problem. The app has been featured by Google in several Google presentations and blog posts, and was one of the first apps to use the Google Drive Realtime API. While this has been great for me in terms of building traffic, Google has also used my app to showcase their Google Drive API. I've also volunteered to review their Google Drive course on Code School and given feedback in several of their trusted tester programs. I guess that doesn't even get you a courtesy call before they take you down..

- Subheadline will give details on trial, no credit card needed, amount of users in system (if the over 10,000), sense of urgency using get started in 60 seconds. Product positioning (what does the product do). Value messaging

- Plan that focus on different markets you address

- Website design Features, Pricing & Plans, About, Contact and remove the rest (including login) form the menu so there not to many links.

- Trust element top right (phone-number will work well there)

- All plans above the fold

- Free plan in bottom right of plan (if your bootstrapped, but if you have VC money and Freemium is your strategy, place free as first plan)

- High to low or low to high, 62% of SaaS companies have low-to-high and with lack of research I guess thats the best. (We will go and test these once we add the pricing page)

- Badges (user logo’s) under plans as trust elements (make them gray so there not distracting)

- Communicate the differences not focus on the similarities of the plan

- Scanable (not to long page)

- Clear pricing (good contrast)

- Use color on background of plans to keep focus on each plan. Mouse over background on horizontal is a nice feature.

- Make bigger plan feel bigger using a visual element that becomes bigger with the growing plan.

- Keep in line with website design

- Important features in F eyetracking line (price, plan differences and sign-up button)

- Mention USD not $ (Austrailian and Canadian dollars look the same)

- Testimonial under plans

- Explain how things work billing, 30 days, free under plans

- Mouse over on features

- Little amount of links (you do not want them to click away)

- Impeccable grammar (in my case huge problem :-) with easy fix... let someone check it

- Call to Actions Orange

- Blue color gives trust we might use these on plans that are not the preferred plan (need to test this)

- Green associates with wealth (try to add green check-marks on items that are simular)

- Use full screen width for plans (no right blocks with sign-up or text

- Repeat 14/30 day trial under sign-up buttons so they know what they sign-up for (<button: Sign-Up> for 14 Day Trail)

- Add some credit-cards logo's or payment processor logo to pricing page as trust element if you do not have a lot of well known clients. You can also add SSL seal if your just starting and have little trust elements available.

- Social Proof (twitter accounts, positive tweets, testimonials etc. all help (under pricing plans)

,Ask HN: Are non-exclusive licenses common for logos?I own a freelance business and recently contacted an artist to create a logo for me. The artist responded with a contract stipulating that after creating the logo, I would have a non-exclusive license to do what I wanted, but they retain the right to post the image anywhere they keep their portfolio.

Should I be requesting full rights and then agree to license it back to them to display in their portfolio?

I guess I'm not really seeing what is protecting me wrt my logo.

What have others done to protect their rights wrt to their logo?.
,Ask HN: I made a Word Cloud Y Combinator Shirt. Any Interest?Yesterday a fellow HNer made a YC shirt http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2232951 and I saw quite some interest. I was wondering whether fellow HNers would be interested in a word cloud rendering of the Y Combinator logo, like these:

Orange on White: http://i.imgur.com/V7poK.png

White on Orange: http://i.imgur.com/nKXJE.png

The words are from -- can you guess? -- Paul Graham's 'Hackers and Painters' essay (which I happen to be reading). Other possibilities include words extracted from Hacker News articles, names of YC companies, Paul Graham's complete essays, etc.

Is anyone interested? If there is enough interest, I'll make a real one (fine tune the words, fonts, etc). Let me know either by replying to this thread, or emailing me directly (find it in my profile), specifying the quantity and style (WoO or OoW). It would be reasonably priced (~$20 + S&H). I'll do it via Zazzle if quantity is limited, or bulk order if there is enough interest. Let me know. Thanks!

P.S. The artwork was made with a tool (Tagxedo), not by hand. I did write the tool myself (Tagxedo, http://www.tagxedo.com) which took a long time :D.
,Ask/Show HN: TSAKilt.comGood idea or bad idea? Funny or not funny?

Wearing a kilt through the security screening process is a true social/political hack and I think really funny. If enough people did it, it would send a message. Plus, I think TSA employees would complain that they don't get paid enough to frisk a bunch of dudes in kilts.

Do I actually think people will do it? Not sure. But for $10 to buy the domain and a few hours hacking together a Shopify theme, we'll see I guess.

Also, on a legal front, can I use my modified Department of Homeland Security logo under the guise of parody?.
,DIY, Outsource, Partner... How should I approach creation?Hi all. I come here for some advice. Like plenty of others, I have an idea for an internet business. I know that an idea isn't worth much though if you don't act on it and execute. So, I've been trying my hardest to do what I can. I'm not technical, but I've been been working in all the ways I know how and learning what I don't.

I've developed the idea, asked potential customers questions, got feedback. I know it has potential. So, I designed the website wireframe, business model, marketing model, logo...

But now comes the time where something useable needs to be created. I can show potential customers a wireframe and ask them questions, but until they actually show they are willing to use (and pay) for it, I know I don't have any real traction.

I come here asking for advice on how I should approach creation. There seem to be three approaches:

1. Do it yourselfn2. Outsourcen3. Find a co-founder

Now, I am determined to learn to the technical side regardless. I've started on that journey, tackling HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I'm no expert, but I understand. I want to go after PHP as well. However, I know I don't have time to be professionally proficient in a reasonable time. It won't stop me from learning, but I'm not sure if it's the smartest way to approach this. But please, tell me if I'm wrong. I don't underestimate the amount of work/experience needed to be a great coder though... so I don't expect to be good enough in a few months.

In regards to outsourcing, I have a good amount of money saved, enough to hopefully create something. However, that something might not even be close to the end goal... and then what? What about when customers ask for more? What about maintenance? What if I do go to investors and it's just me... sure, I consider myself valuable on both the business and design end of things, but with no one to cover the technical aspects, who will want to invest? Which brings me to...

Finding a technical co-founder. I'm from NYC and plan on going to some startup meetings I've found out about. However, I know this is a scary proposition as well. For one, I have nothing created, so will anyone want to even come on board? Then I guess I need to assess options 1 & 2.

I just am looking for some guidance here. I'm at this standstill and I feel overwhelmed with all the options and just pick a direction and go. If that's outsource and then find a technical co-founder once something is implemented, then I'll tackle outsourcing now. If it's DIY, then pick up my pace (hell, quit my job, live at home and make studying and creating my new job) so I can get things going. If it's find a technical co-founder, than go out there and prove myself.

Anyway, I apologize for the length of this post, but I guess I have a lot on my mind here. But any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!.
