CEO and co-founder of the nonprofit Open Law Library. Our mission is to help governments publish their laws directly to the public in secure, digital-native formats.

Open Law Library is taking the tools and techniques developed for programmers to publish software code – IDEs, linters, compilers, continuous integration/deployment, VCS, etc – and adapting and transforming them for use by lawyers to publish legal codes. Governments use our tools to save time and money and then publish their laws openly for the public.

Some our partners:

Ask HN: How can we pay Ukrainians to work for us?

Our US-based non-profit, Open Law Library, would like to offer positions to Ukrainian developers. We would ideally like to pay for services weekly in advance, rather than arrears, to assist with immediate cash flow needs.

Does anybody have suggestions on the best way to provide payment? I understand Ukrainian banks are still up for now, so are wire transfers the most reliable, or should we use visa/master card e-gift cards? Something else?

Aside from the "who is hiring" posts tomorrow, are there any boards or services we should be posting to?

Thank you!
