Hi HN,

My startup is nearing the finish line (launch) and but we still have some significant web design work that needs to be completed. Our Lead Designer is scrambling to get it done but we really need another set of hands to help out.

We are considering taking on an unpaid intern (bootstrapped startup with no $$) that could work 10 hours/week for a month or two.

Some of my questions are:

1. Where are good places to look for web designers and/or have free internship postings? 2. What sort of things can we offer/incentivize in lieu of financial payment? One thing to note is that we are a virtual team so we can't provide any on-site perks.

Would love to hear from folks that have done this before and what their experiences have been.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Looking for freelance animators to help a friend with a startup explainer video. Budget is quite small (~$400) for a 1 min 30 sec video. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've pretty much completed Zed Shaw's course, "Learning Python the Hard Way." Although at the beginning I was skeptical, I've really begun to grasp the semantics of the language and I feel his way to teaching really works for me.

Now that I have the basics down, I would like to really learn Django. Are there any Django apps with source code available that I can learn from by replicating the code?

I know I can stroll over to GitHub but as a novice, I'm concerned about the code being clean and I'm pretty sure I haven't developed an eye yet for what's clean and what's not.

Any recommendations?

If you check out Hipmunk's hotel search you'll notice that not only do they feature hotels but they also feature AirBnB rentals. How did they do that?

I've been trying to find someone who can help my startup as a consultant and help us design a collaborative filter/recommender system. If the fit was good, we (my co-founder and I) would be happy to make him/her a partner. Would you or anyone you know be interested in something like this?<p>You can reach me at: lizhou.chang [at] gmail [dot]com
