Launch HN: Ontop (YC W21) – Easily hire and pay remote workers in LATAM Hi YC! We are Santiago Aparicio, Julian Torres and Jaime Abella and we are from Colombia. We are building Ontop (www.ontop.ai) to help companies do remote hiring and payouts, all the way from contract creation, to compliance documentation and easy money transfers. COVID-19 has taught us all that remote works. Our bet is that companies in the US and Europe will start hiring more people in LATAM because talent is increasing in quality at a fraction of price compared to what they can get elsewhere. Paying people in LATAM requires local knowledge to get the level of speed and compliance that workers need to get their money on time. We are building a solution so companies hiring in LATAM have to do less paperwork, can easily be compliant and disperse payments to different countries in a single place. In our previous startup Fitpal (multi gym membership in LATAM) we experienced the pain behind signing contracts, collecting documents and sending money to different countries. We had to pay hundreds of gyms in LATAM and were frustrated by the amount of time we spent doing administrative work, when we should have been thinking on how to hack our way to growth. We handle all paperwork, compliance and payments so onboarding new people is really easy. And most importantly, everything done legally, by the book, so that companies are always due diligence proof. Our solution is tailored for LATAM guaranteeing the best speed and compliance in the market. We want to hear your thoughts on our solution. We value feedback and case uses that you might have. Email us at founders@ontop.ai and we will personally give you a demo. February 18, 2021 at 06:58PM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
