Ask HN: Need freelance front-end work to pay college loans while I job-huntHi HN,

I'm a recent CS graduate and several year HN member currently looking for a job at a startup, but it's slow going. My college loans are eating up my savings, and I would love to be able to do some freelance work to help cover those and improve my skills and experience.

I have no problem with very small or one-off projects. If something is worth $10 or $20 for you not to mess with, shoot me an email.

Pricing: For HN members, cheap, and payable on satisfactory delivery. Seriously, you send me a project and a price, and it will probably work for me.

Contact: brianfarr@gmail.com

Here are some services I can offer:

* Convert a design to markup: Got a great Photoshop design or other image and need it converted to clean, valid, and semantic markup? Let me do that while you work on your product.

* Customized a purchased theme: You found that great design on ThemeForest but you need to make some changes and incorporate your logo and branding? No problem. Armed with a text editor and Firebug, I can get this done quickly.

* Basic CMS or Wordpress Theme: Want a basic theme from your design or markup so you can use a content management system and update quickly? No problem. We're not talking about creating an Engadget style superblog or infinitely customizable theme here, just your design and the ability to use an edit box to update your site.

* Fix small problems on web pages: Got some tweaks, bug fixes, and cross browser problems you've been meaning to take care of? Let me wear out the refresh button and fix them for you. I have plenty of HTML, CSS, and scripting experience to figure out what's going wrong and how to correct it.

* Website proofing and reviewing: Get a fresh set of eyes on your marketing and copy, get help distilling your message.

* Web application testing: You're probably getting tired of using it and you're totally acclimated to it anyways. Have someone else try it out, see if anything breaks, give usability feedback, etc.

* Something crazy you just thought of: I have lots of other skills too, so let me know!

Thanks for reading, and don't hesitate to email me ( brianfarr@gmail.com ) with any questions!.
,Why do people latch onto the superficial aspects of other startups?1. Startup names are becoming annoyingly standardized. You basically take a word that relates to your industry then ad –ly or instead turn it into a verb by adding –ify at the end. Yet these aspects are completely independent of the startup’s success. Instead why don’t people try and come up with a name that is short, easy to remember, intuitive to spell, and descriptive of what the company is about. That might actually affect your success as a startup.

2. FORGET VIRALITY! When I was a freshman in college I uploaded a video to youtube that received 20k views in a week and millions by the months end. I got calls from all the major “funny video” websites and ended up selling to collegehumor.com (~$400), which was a mistake since a week later I got a call from ABC who was interested and offered 3k. The point is the more viral you are the more prone you are to fizzle out faster. The whole ordeal lasted less than a few months. IMO “Virality” and virality coefficients are a waste of time if you want to actually build a business. Spend the time you would improving your viral score and build a better/more useful product.

3. Do you really need a mobile app? There are plenty of industries in which a mobile app would serve no purpose except wasting the time and resources of the developers.

4. A/B testing is a waste of time. Instead use that time building a better product! Craigslist/Google, for instance, has barely changed any of their layout/design. Good developers spend time improving their core product and doing things that are important/matter, not testing the effectiveness of different font colors.

a. Does design/brand image (logo) even have any effect on success?

Cliffs: If you are going to copy another company at least copy the parts that attributed to their success.

,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..
,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..
,Walmart has old Macbooks for sale cheap at their websiteThey are of course just 10.7 max, old Intel Core 2 Duo Macbooks. They are good enough for someone just starting out who can't afford a modern Macbook. You can buy 10.6 Snow Leopard from Apple to run 10.6 on it and use Rosetta to run PowerMac apps. 10.7 removed Rosetta.

I'm sure it can dual boot Linux or Windows as well using Bootcamp. A good student starter laptop with the Apple logo on it for as cheap as $99.

I don't work for Walmart but I was browsing Netbooks and Laptops there for my son who is going to college soon.

,Ask HN: How does a developer find a digital artist?I am a CS student currently working full time and I develop some side projects for my entertainment. One area that could really use attention is graphics design / art. For example, I am looking to slap together a wireframe of a project to make a proposal, but it looks quite bare, so I'd really like to get some mock-up art or basic logo design done.

As I'm not a digital artist, nor do I have the time to try some basic art myself, how would you recommend finding someone to offer concept art, keeping in mind these constraints:

- This is not a full-time paid position, just a side-project

- I am a college student with not much money to spare

My first thought was to use sites where one posts a request for art and provides a budget, and artists across the internet can "bid" on the project by submitting samples. However, these can get quite pricey (see constraint above). What would be a great scenario is having fellow students contribute art for the sake of putting it on a portfolio, and, in the case of larger side-projects, I could offer % stake in the project, granted that the payout would likely be minimal to none. Any recommendations?.
,Ask HN: How do you make greyed-out logo murals for your site?Is there a tool for making the endorsement walls like GinzaMetrics, Unroll.me, or Shopify have? Specifically, like the ones at Unroll.me because I see that style of logo-collages everywhere..
,Collection of unused logos for freeHi, I’m a logo designer and for the past couple years I have unused concepts of logos that are piling up on my hard drive and I decided to give them for free, maybe for use in personal/school projects, or a placeholder for web developer when making sites for clients etc.

By giving them free it doesn’t mean I’m talking about crappy work here. Check it out yourself. http://www.picograf.com/junk.
,ASK HN: I encountered an online scam operation. What can I do?A family member got sent a link in this format
https://bazaraki.to-dispatch.ink/83923676746

and they were asking them to do some payment verification to receive a payment. They usually target victims that are selling on Facebook, Ebay and other websites. They then craft a specific website for your item and pretend to have paid and send you a link to collect the payment. Because you are a "first time user" they have a specific verification page that you need to input your card details.

For example if you sell a piano on hackernews, they then make a website called

  hackernews.3ds-order.online/123123

123123 is the unique identifier of the piano, with a correct image, and on the top left they will also put the logo of HN. To sell the fake page even more.

I did some reverse lookups on their webapp IP (185.106.93.21) and I got more than 40 pages with scammy names.

Examples:

  3ds-order.online, payl.online, processing.tel, qhdns.net, rentcars.store, toptyler.com, transferz.online, deal-express.icu, dealy.ink, fast-deal.live  

NS servers:

  ns1.qhdns.net, ns2.qhdns.net

I contacted some registrars like NameCheap, but they say I don't have enough evidence. I have screenshots similar to this other person that also blogged about this scam [1]

So my question to HN is, what do we do in such cases?

,Social.com launchesI just completed the launch of a new site at Social.com. This is a collection of the same tools (bookmarklet, WP plugin, widget, Google Reader integration) that was formerly called BigTweet. The bookmarklet in particular is useful for posting to Twitter, Delicious and Ping.fm without leaving the current web page.

I listened to the comments previously about BigTweet in HN (logo & site design was poor, etc) and tried to make some improvements with the change to Social.com.

I would appreciate any feedback on the site and the tools. Thanks!

,Ask HN: Where can ASCII Art be Commissioned?My company would like some ASCII renditions of their logo: https://rainlab.co.jp/en/.

I have waded through old Geocities sites, random ASCII art collections, and various articles; however, 90 percent of URLs are now defunct, and email addresses all get bounced.

I would absolutely love to get in contact with Joan Stark, but my sleuthing skills are unable to escape beyond early 2000s info.

Do you have any brilliant suggestions?.
,How much this virus scaning web project can cost?Hello. My project have got unique design and text, logo and firmstyle (visitcards, proposal submissions design, presentations for customers and investors), own analytics system of scaning, contacts, services and promo pages.

Main idea is in virus scaning, if site is dangerous for users, after scaning system will offer removing services. If site is not dangerous, system will offer secure services for more higher protection. Peoples can tell about their safety resource in social networks or with banners, which they can install on their website.

All dangerous sites goes to database, if peoples are not making an order, you can sell proposal submission to them, if you want.

The projects works in two languages (english and russian, I was translate it in english few days ago). Project was started in Russia and gave interest to peoples, customers and investors, but not give big money for me. I think about selling all to someone with domain, site, code, phone and may be with registered russian company for this project.

I have got a lot of ideas, but not have some time for this project, so, I want to sell it. For example: spider, which walks in internet, scan all of it and collect infected, then send to all info about virus activity, offer services. Or mobile applications for scaning, browser plugins, which scan opened website before page loading.

So, this project can be very interesting for IT professionals or enterpreneurs. I will be happy to sell it to good arms. But I don't know how much it can cost. Can you give some advices to me about it? And where I can sell it?

,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: Selling other people's goods through my online store(NY, USA) After 4 years, we're finally building a shopping cart to sell goods through our site - for now, just t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc... with our logo on it but the purpose of the store was to sell a book my partner wrote last year.

The book and the garments are a no brainer - their our goods, we'll collect and pay tax on the sales and thats fine.

The problem comes in that my partner wants to sell other people's books, without having to pay tax on it.

He had originally thought that we would just link to their book on their site and they can deal with the sale - in which I rebutted - I wouldn't put it in the store then - the store implies we're selling something. If it's just a link to somewhere else, it should go on a different page.

I came up with 2 options -

1 - find out who does the sellers printing - and make a payment directly to them when my customers check out - then, our bank account doesn't reflect the purchase and we don't need to deal with taxes - we've become a gateway per say.

2 - process the payment myself - then pay the seller the exact amount (taking no profit - just to drive traffic to my site) - then in the tax man's eyes - it's a wash.

Any other ideas on how to deal with this?

Are there any CC gateways that can take an API call and split the purchase money into multiple accounts?

I suppose I could have the seller setup an account at stripe.com (CC gateway I'm using) and just make another API call and fund them that way? I don't forsee selling more then a dozen 3rd party books..
,Unearthing NASA's 'worm': Reissue of old manual celebrates retired NASA logo,How we renamed our Design Converter to Magical AssSo here we go, our rebranding is done. New logo, new domain, what could go wrong.

We provide a tool to convert design files between Figma, XD, Sketch, Figma, PDF and more and have recently rebranded it from "XD2Sketch" to "Magicul". We started out as a simple tool to allow users to import XD files in Sketch hence the name XD2Sketch but soon added more features. The name just didn't make sense anymore. Magicul initially seemed to be a great name, but turned out to be a bit of an interesting pick when translated to French.

We've sent out a newsletter to our customers to let them know about the changes and here's what one of our users replied:

Hey folks,

While I understand that you guys probably hope to operate primarily in English, I think it needs to be mentioned that your brand name "Magicul" in french, literally means "Magical ass"... but the real kicker is the .io of the domain, which literally means input & output...

So here goes the bad news... The entire french community is reading your brand name - literally - as: Magical ass (dot) in & out.

And then there's the logo itself... which is a hole with a hat.

Christ. You can't make this stuff up. This is ugh, umm, a brutally unfortunate brand?...lol

I'm in Quebec, Canada, where french is dominant and so I'm keenly aware of this - and so are my partners, colleagues and friends. We all had a good laugh.

Don't know what else to say...?

Bonne chance mes amis!

Have a good one,

- A fan of your work in Montreal.

,Launch HN: Parade (YC S20) – Launch your company without hiring a designerHey HN! We’re Alex and David, the founders of Parade (https://getparade.com). Parade uses software to guide founders through early branding decisions, including designing a basic logo, selecting fonts, selecting colors, and defining their company’s overall aesthetic.

A lot of early stage founders are incredible engineers, but lack the ability to make things look “right”. We’ve seen a bunch of our friends launch products to no reception, some of which seemed due to poor design decisions (like, making buttons hard to find or a landing page that looks like it might steal your credit card).

Two years ago, two of my closest friends started a company, raised a small round, and spent tens of thousands of dollars on their initial branding. That was a substantial percentage of their funding, and then their brand entirely changed once they learned more about their customer. After I saw them waste a ton of time and money on this, I realized that it ought to be possible to build software that could have done just as good of a job as the design agency. At the core of it, the designers asked my friends a bunch of questions about how they want their company to be perceived by customers, offered them colors and fonts and a design aesthetic that conveyed those feelings, and then created a mockup of a website that incorporated those elements. So, I decided to build software to do just that.

With Parade, we have taken a traditional brand design interview and turned it into a self-serve software product. You answer a series of questions about how you want your brand to be perceived and receive design aesthetic suggestions based on them. We use machine learning to identify design elements (such as fonts, colors, layouts, use of color, density of information, line and button styles, and visuals) that project the way you want your brand to feel, then present them to you as simple choices. To power the suggestions, we collected training data from both designers and non-designers to understand what emotional reactions these design elements evoke. Because of this technology, we are able to identify the design aesthetics that you want without having to iterate repeatedly or spend hours searching for inspiration. After you make your choices, we use the math behind design theory (such as an algorithm to expand one color into a range of colors that accounts for the difference in perceived contrast based on hue, saturation, and lightness) to flesh out your brand [0].

Right now, after onboarding, you are able to access all of your design elements in a style guide for free through the dashboard. It includes your colors and your fonts, plus a place to download your logo and icon in a few colors. You can see an example of what this looks like here: https://app.getparade.com/hackernews/style-guide or here: https://app.getparade.com/hooli/style-guide. This is similar to the output startups get from a first engagement with a designer, which helps you set up basic, consistent styling for your website and social media profiles.

At this point, we’ve helped thousands of companies create their brands, including YC-backed companies like WellPrincipled (https://www.wellprincipled.com/), Enable (https://www.enable.us/) and MeterFeeder (https://www.meterfeeder.com/).

The next step beyond style guides would be to automatically generate brand assets—things like pitch decks, landing pages, and social media posts. We're working on that. We haven't completely automated it yet, but we are able to create these assets with very rapid turnaround time. Once we get it fully automated, we plan to add subscription features that enable founders to make ready-to-use assets themselves.

In the meantime, we run an agency, serving customers using our work-in-progress software. It’s different from a traditional agency, though—while traditional agencies spend many days asking you about how you want your brand to look, seeking inspiration, and iterating based on your feedback, we are able to capture what you describe through our onboarding survey and create assets with your design elements algorithmically. We are able to deliver most designs within 48 hours, and almost all of our customers have been satisfied without any iteration. Right now, a lot of the algorithmic design work happens via an in-house Figma plugin, which we plan to move onto our platform in 2022 and open up to self-service.

Something that’s surprised us while working on this: we’ve found that our users don’t always believe that their choices are really great. Design is intimidating—you’re aware that there is some psychology of color and also some color theory rules, but aren’t exactly sure what they are. You’ve built things in the past that just didn’t look quite right—how can you be sure the choices you made on Parade are good? Oftentimes, designers will even use words to make themselves seem to know some secret you don’t. We’re trying to reassure our users by surfacing more of the science behind the suggestions we make, and to make sure we encode rules that prevent certain common mistakes.

We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, concerns, or ideas about what we’re building - or about your experiences with automating design in general. We appreciate all feedback and suggestions!
