Outsourcing coding – the end of programmer founders?
My friend is a programmer and currently working on an education sector app. He's raised about $40k in funding but interestingly even though he could code himself he prefers to instead outsource the coding for $10/hour to India where he argues he can get a better job at a lower price. Given that the status quo in Silicon Valley is that hacker founders is best what do you guys think about this trend?

Show HN: Using AI to imagine car-free streets and bike lanes worldwide
https://transformyour.city/
A few months ago, I started using DALL-E to show what streets would look like car-free or with protected bike lanes, and posted them on Twitter: https://twitter.com/betterstreetsai

The account went viral, and made me realized that there's a lot of potential to make change in the real world. I assembled a team, and we've spent the past few months building this website.

By using AI, we can show people how much better our cities can be. And by capturing demand for that with petitions, which we show elected officials how many of their constituents support this stuff, leading to real change.

How to make users scroll down your page
http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/scrolling-tips/
In split tests, long pages often beat shorter pages. But for a long page to be effective, the reader must be aware that it’s long. If the user doesn’t scroll—either because they don’t want to or because they aren’t aware that the page is long—then all of your hard work has gone to waste.

How to handle? Free iPad For quality co-founder applications
I got this idea from a scene in social network.

I was a y combinatorics applicant but did not get selected, And I feel it was because I did not have a co-founder who was a programmer and also I did not have a prototype yet.
This has been a huge issue for me and not sure how to access qualified programmers to interview them for co-founder position.

I was thinKing I would create a web page with application similar to Y combinatorics app page and have people apply for co founder position if they 1st meet the criteria. I would have some sort of screening system and only have 10-20 of those applicants qualified to be interviewed and be eligible for the drawing for the Ipad.

I'm thinking this will draw a huge resource of programmers who will apply and I can draw from for future potential jobs that will arise as my startup progresses.

I am not concerned about the expense and consider it an investment into my startup. Also, I am in a financial position to boot strap full time until prototype is complete and can pursue more funding from investors.
I am looking for thoughts and suggestions of how to make this fair to applicants and secure from spammers.

Please feel free add your thoughts on how to make tins work well.

Thanks

Show HN: I made a Web3 app that lets you create a crypto money pot
https://cryptopots.app/
Hey!

I made a web3 app that lets you create a crypto money pot to finance anything you want: the aim is to provide a simple way to create pots on the blockchain for all kind of projects, association, or other stuffs …

With Cryptopots, you just create a pot in a few clicks, with the assets you want, on the blockchain you want, for anything you want! Most of the money pots services take some important fees (2%-4% for small pots). We’re planning to make a much cheaper service to permit the owner to make the most benefits possible.

We’re actually in private beta, but get your access to try it now!

Just a decentralized, uncensorable, and community oriented way to create your pots.

Let’s make the web great again!

Show HN: Loop, run a command in loop and nothing else

This is a small utility to loop a command, in a shell. This is deceptively simple, you can loop a command forever, or loop until it is succeeded or failed.

Currently, it really does nothing else than a bash `for` and `sleep`, but I intend to add the possibility of running a command in loop, in parallel.

What's the best way to update a site after going live?
I am going to be going live with my website soon. As of now I simply trial and error my way into updates and fixes but this isn't going to work after launch.

I'm guessing the best way is to host a complete duplicate of the site in a hidden sub-folder and work with that. Updates and feature builds can be done to the duplicate and after testing I can replace the live site with the updated copy.

I'm not a tech guy so I'm just wondering what people have found to be the best method for this.

Thanks!
