Request HN: Optimize vote-arrows and YC logotl;dr:

1) Please replace "grayarrow2x.gif" with Unicode arrows ▲ and ▼

2) Please replace "y18.gif" with a higher-res YC logo image, or text "Y" with FF Meta Pro Normal web font

---

I've been a regular reader, and very occasional poster, on HN for nigh on ten years now.

I always loved PG's iconoclastic/idiosyncratic "brutalist" aesthetic, but the UI GIFs have felt obsolete since I got a smartphone. I remember the up/down voting arrows started looking blurry on my iPhone 3G, and then sometime later they got better on mobile with the introduction of the higher-res "grayarrow2x.gif".

Now on a retina display, by now I just take the blurry arrows (and YC icon) for granted. I was building an HTML table with column sorting today, and made use of Unicode characters ▲▼ "BLACK UP-POINTING TRIANGLE" (▲) and "BLACK DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE" (▼). How about swapping out grayarrow2x.gif for these text arrows? I just tried the substitution via Chrome dev tools, and it was a trivial change and looks crisper to me. I'm not aware of any compatibility/support issues with these Unicode chars, but maybe some technical reason not to make this change...

The blurry 18×18 "y18.gif" could be replaced either with http://www.ycombinator.com/images/ycombinator-logo-fb889e2e.png, or with a box containing a text "Y" – looks like the YC logo's FF Meta Pro Normal is available on Typekit: https://typekit.com/fonts/ff-meta/details/meta-pro-normal

These might seem like niggling issues, but unlike other seemingly low-hanging UI improvements (e.g. increasing font size, which looks kinda tough with how the CSS is structured), I think both of these changes could be made in just a few minutes, and I'd appreciate it on every upvote!.
,Tell HN: Professional Branding and Identity for your Startup for $100My friend has extraordinary skill at creating company branding and identities. He created the logo for my startup ( http://www.blabberize ) and its been really great for our image. He recently is spending some free time between jobs and mentioned that he has been doing some sketches for fictitious companies to expand his portfolio. He finds creative work more fun than most of the high profile companies he works for. I suggested that there may be some people who would love to have the quality of his work in the startup community that may not have the resources to pay for his caliber of work. Heres a link to his portfolio:

http://www.thomas-doyle.com

Hes willing to deliver a company logo for $100. All you have to provide is: 1: Name of the Company 2: Imagery that you would like incorporated and/or text 3: Your vision of what you like the logo to look like.

I'm posting this here because when I started my startup four years ago I didn't have any money to spare and I needed a logo. My friend ended up building this stellar iconic graphic that ended up being our defining image. He went on to bigger and greater things, and I felt lucky that I got to tap into his talent back when I didn't have the money and it was worth so much more. I think it anyone starting a startup would think this is a godsend..
,My first week of MBPr 15"It's my first week of using MBPr, and also I use MBP side by side. I love the text rendering on MBPr the clarity of words is beyond words. However, I am annoyed when it comes to Images, And I have no clue how this issue is going to be fixed, I had a tiny logo for my site 33x33px and doubled the size of it 66x66px and set the width to 33x33 and it now renders gracefully on MBPr, But hey! why do I have to do that, ---- my logo is not the only image in my site, there are a lot of images, some of them could be made larger, but some of them I have no control over. Like I fetch user avatar from Twitter API. ------ but the point here is, it's not prudent to scale images and re-engineer everything..... And I am reaching to the decision to question Apple, was Retina really required at all. Because as I said i use 2011 MBP side by side. I was more than happy with the rendering of text and images..... isn't this a mess? Images are terrible on MBPr period. And in order to fix them, web developers have to re-engineer everything, as I had just started to grasp responsive design and on top of that retina images now....?.... Looking forward to your feedback, unless there is something I am missing here.

PS: Please excuse my english, I actually can write it very good, but I am just in procrastinate mood right now. ;).
,Ask HN: Is there an API for creating quote photos?Basically this: https://pablo.buffer.com/ as an API.

The background image is pretty random, so having the ability to get text onto the image and maybe a logo, optimized for each social media platform? e.g. Longer image for Pinterest, shorter for Twitter etc..
,Show HN: Anonymous, web-based bookmarkinghttp://www.anomarks.com

Hey everyone,

I don't know about you, but my bookmarks somehow always get lost in weird nested folders that I never bother to organize properly. The stuff I eventually want to refer back to just becomes clutter, and then I can't find that sweet tutorial for photo editing a text logo, doing something cool with CSS, or whatever.

I took a look at Google Bookmarks and Delicious, but those two services are so cluttered with excess bullshit that I decided to do it myself.

Anomarks stands for anonymous bookmarks. You don't have to sign up or anything. You can just start with a URL and assign it to a list. Then you can add other bookmarks to the list and search them all really easily. That's it.

My goal was to make it supremely simply and a pleasure to use. Let me know how I did. Hopefully it'll be of use to someone beyond myself..

,Ask HN: Quick Graphic Mockup?Does anyone know of an artistically talented friend who'd be willing to do a quick mockup of a small logo gratis (or for a very small fee)? I made what I want in Gimp, but I lack the artistic skill or the funds to develop it further. If it matters, it's just simple text with two colors. I'm jut having trouble with getting the shading and alignment exactly right.

My contact information is in my profile..
,Ask HN: How to get a Logo/ Corporate Designs in 2021?I know this has been asked plenty times before but most of these threads seem to be quite old. So hear me out.

I am the founder of a cyber security startup in Germany and we are at a point where our website is getting more and more traffic and customers start to ask for business cards to refer our services to other businesses. Soon our web app with new services will launch and it just doesn't have any proper design guidelines yet. Currently the logo is just the name in Roboto font and all presentations and documents are just plain text without any proper corporate design.

I have been doing some research and it seems like there is three main contenders for crowd sourced logo designs:

- fiverr
- 99designs
- designcrowd

But HN seems to have a bad opinion about each of these platforms. Regarding the covid situation I'd also much rather pay a creative person directly without intermediaries taking a 20% cut. But the problem stands on where to find them.

So here's my question: Where do you people get your Logo and Corporate Designs these days?.
,Show HN: Flipboard-like Hacker News web viewerYet another Hacker News web viewer, tried to mimic Flipboard experience.
Hacked for my own use. Primary use - iPad for 15 min before sleep. Secondary: iPhone 4 or workstation, depends, whenever got 5 min of time
Key features: 1. mobile friendly CSS and 2. Back end extracts text teaser and a pic for context. Got the only logo done entirely in CSS I know about :)
Status: a prototype - slow, scraping is only 70% good, Google App Engine might not be optimal for such an app, tested only on screens I use.
Goal: to find if such an app is appreciated by anyone but me. If yes - will be quickly improving. If no - will be slowly improving.
Motivation: I read HN a lot but not contribute articles, votes or comments. This is my way of paying back.

Full description:
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1C5IFWLEeYaHL3lefJLF1YakXGuT4YuOOGjhGDJdFxbk.
,Ask HN: Does trademark infringement mean you're becoming famous?Yesterday I received an email from Katrin Rampf, legal manager for the Pomodoro Technique organization:

'We've noticed you're using our logo as app icon and twitter profile image.
This use of our logo is not permitted.
I kindly ask you to read our guideline and make the necessary changes to be in line with our guideline.'

The app we're talking about is Tomatoes (http://tomato.es). I will change the logo as soon as possibile because I don't want to infringe any trademark but I feel glad for the first line of text from Katrin because she says that 'they've noticed' Tomatoes app.

I call these 'happy problems'.

What do you think about it?.
,Ask HN: How often do you zoom in to read text on your screen?For example, I have zoomed in 250% @ Hacker News to relax my eyes. As a matter of fact, I have zoomed in on most of the websites I visit, including Google.. The same goes for when I code or write text... The font size is too small for me - I can read the text on normal settings, but it's just too much eye strain.
I get funny comments from my co-workers who say that the Google logo and text look too big..
,What Happened to Translation in Android?When you select non-english text in Android, the first option in the context menu is Translate with the Google logo. You would assume this brings up Google translate. But pressing this option in fact just opens a Google search for "translate XXX" where XXX is whatever text you selected. No translation widget appears on the search result page and I don't actually get a translation unless I click one of the links (which look like spam in the language I'm translating).

Has it always been like this? Why doesn't the translate button actually link to their translation service?.
,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.

New logo: http://www.myplaylist.biz

No more critiques pls. Hehe..
,Launch HN: Journey (YC W21) – a better tool for selling softwareHi, we’re pclark, bweitz and anilsevim, the founders of Journey (https://journey.io). We want to make buying and selling software a better experience. We do this by allowing sellers and marketers to combine all sorts of content—slides, videos, forms, calendars, text—into one sharable webpage, which they can then easily personalize for specific prospects. Think of it like a website that is specifically designed for a specific individual to take a specific action, which answers any questions or objections they may have.

For example, I took one of our standard demos and made a "personalized" version for HN here: https://jny.journey.io/p/3bbb55f82a224e399aafd2dc04f4f32b?pr.... To customize it, I simply added the YC logo at the top, and a "Welcome HN" video to intro the demo—but you can customize these things as much as you like, as your sales process moves forward.

Edit: here's a further example on top of that one: https://jny.journey.io/p/3bbb55f82a224e399aafd2dc04f4f32b?em.... In response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27235504, I made a new version of the "Welcome HN" demo by adding a personalized intro video, changing the logo at the top (I just picked a different one arbitrarily), and restricting it to a specific person (note the "only visible to [email address]" text on the right). Of course it's not really restricted, because we want you all to see it, but it's an example of how you can evolve these demos in response to specific people's questions.

Back in 2012 I launched a B2B email marketing startup called Userfox on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4715237), and as that company grew I repeatedly found that it was really hard to create an email that performed well—because if an email is too long users will skim over it, and if it has more than one link they’ll never come back to click them all. Our hope is that Journey helps fix such interactions by allowing you to send users a specific page that has all the content you want them to read, including answers to their specific questions about your product.

Sales people have a hard job, and we don’t think their tools help them enough—they have to rely on live meetings and phone calls. Which is annoying because a live phone call is pretty much the last thing I want to do when I want to actually use a product. You have to talk to a sales person because there isn’t a good way to communicate complexity today in an asynchronous manner.

Sales and marketing is actually ‘just’ storytelling. You build something and then you tell people why they want it. We often think that the latter part is the easy part—but it isn’t! It’s really hard to introduce your product to someone, even when you know they would benefit from it.

If Journey can provide a superior storytelling experience it stands to reason that humans will require fewer live meetings. You don’t need to telephone for a taxi because you have the Uber app.... You won’t need to talk to a human to buy software because you’ll have Journey…

Journey specifically is a web app where you can embed and sequence various pieces of content (videos, slides, forms, calendars, …) and then share that sequence (a “Journey”). You can then take a Journey and personalize it for a specific recipient. Once you’ve shared a Journey, you get insights on where they’re spending time, and any comments they may have. Over time, you and your prospect can build up an entire sales conversation this way, focused around what they specifically need from your product. And you can reuse any bits that worked particularly well in your future conversations with other prospects.

We’d love to know what HN thinks of Journey, here's a link again to our HN demo mentioned above: https://jny.journey.io/p/3bbb55f82a224e399aafd2dc04f4f32b?pr.... From there you’ll be able to sign up, request an onboarding call, view case studies, and learn more. Thank you!!.
,Ask HN: OCR Libraries for Receipt Scanning/Parsing?I'm interested in keeping tabs on my spending and comparing prices of items I buy at grocery stores, because I tend to not think about it when I need something. I am conscious of the extreme price discrepancies for the exact same items at stores just blocks apart here in NYC, but it's difficult to keep track of the prices of each item at various places to optimize shopping.

I want to build a system that can keep a running tab of my purchases by item, price, and store. I need to find a library that can effectively scan a receipt, recognize the store (usually name, number, address and logo at the top), and differentiate each item label and its price. I plan to manually tag each item label from a store's receipt with the item's barcode the first time it is seen.

I have been sporadically googling the past 6 months but am still unsure which OCR library(s) I should invest my time in. Or how low level I should start. Should I grab a library like tesseract and do my own feature extraction or libs that spit out semi-structured objects with text and hope it returns something similar enough across store receipts to make sense of consistently?

I'm ok with this being an extended project, but I would like some input on choosing a solid library with accurate OCR and advice on how to approach training/parsing from someone with more experience.

Other solutions and advice are also welcome++.
,Offer HN: I'll make a decal for your startup.I make vinyl decals. It's not a business - I do it for fun. It's extremely satisfying to see an idea come to life so quickly, and the labor itself is somewhat therapeutic. I genuinely enjoy the creative process involved with making vinyl decals, and I sure could use a break from these brain-busting college courses. If there could only be one community I would give back to, this would definitely be the one.

So here's my offer: You have a startup. I make decals. I will make a vinyl decal for your startup - for free. You can stick it on your office window to appear more legitimate or slap it on the back of your car for advertising. I really don't care what you do with it, as long as it is your company's logo and/or website. These decals will be 'die-cut' style, meaning there is no background or border. Here are some examples for clarification:

http://www.lorenburton.com/decals.jpg

No trademarked logos (unless you own the trademark). To keep things simple, let's do matte black or matte white only, maximum size 5'x8', and no crazy intricate designs. Single color logo/text (see examples).

Final thought: not sure how to handle shipping. Obviously there would be shipping costs incurred, but I don't feel comfortable charing HN for shipping. Any thoughts on how to handle this?

If your interested in a decal for your startup, send me an email at lorendburton (at) gmail.com, with .ai or .eps file attached. Please specify size and color.

Let's have fun with this! I'm interested to see how this idea is received, considering most 'Offer HN' threads have been in regards to services. I am not looking for any personal gain here, unless you consider having fun and bringing ideas to life to be personal gain..
,Show HN: A branching, text-based game hidden in the cloudYou stumble down a forest path. Above you, trees blot out the sun. The trees have craggy branches and ugly names: impostor syndrome, production outage, technical debt. You're searching for Cloud Castle, but it's nowhere to be found.

Far down the path, you glimpse an ancient wizard approaching. Multicolored symbols cover his robe. Many are foreign to you, but you do recognize the Kubernetes logo. Instinctively, you cower in fear.

The wizard hands you a priceless EMERALD. "Do not be afraid. You control your destiny," he intones. "But to escape this wilderness and reach the cloud, you must collect a few more gems of wisdom."

He gestures toward a fork in the path. "Compute or storage? Which will you learn?"

"I...I don't know," you whisper. "But I can't stay here any longer."

The wizard lifts his hand in farewell. You don't notice that his fingers are crossed.

If you choose the storage path, use your AWS CLI to examine the S3 bucket cloud-adventure-bucket for further clues.

If you choose compute, create an Amazon EC2 instance from the public AMI ami-03e669e72372a5691 in the us-east-1 region and explore the root volume..
,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: If a t-shirt includes a logo (FB, AT&T) is it automatically infringement?I want to make a t-shirt that shows my dissatisfaction with some companies and also in support of others. Basic example for simplicity:

"Vote Yes DuckDuckGo"

"AT&T Sucks"

Is it infringement to use a logo/symbol on a shirt as fair use as long as it is clearly not representative of the companies service/product? If a logo is not useable would text equiv; e.g. AT&T instead of their branding, be useable?

Does it matter if the t-shirt is for sale vs. personal use?

Thanks.
