You can see the result if you drag the map to your browsers address bar ("...images/countries/COUNTRY_CODE/vector.svg").

Edit: Removing solution and replacing it with COUNTRY_CODE.

Re:Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack? on Wednesday August 25, 2021 @09:10AM (#28301210)
The service is aimed at founders domiciled in Switzerland; in principle, formation by foreign founders is also possible. However, it is mandatory that the company is represented by a person domiciled in Switzerland. This can be a managing director (GmbH) or a member of the board of directors (AG).

For capacity reasons (company of one) and due to my focus towards Swiss founders, the site is currently only available in German.

https://recordwise.ch - helping founders incorporate in Switzerland:

- Django/Python

- SQLite

- Celery and Redis for task queues

- Bootstrap4

- jQuery

- Sentry for error tracking

- Stripe for payments

- EmailOctopus for newsletter

- SendGrid for transactional emails

- NameCheap for the domain

- Linode for hosting

Running costs are USD 7/month for Linode + USD 15/year for the domain. SendGrid is currently free through the Twilio Startup Program.

Why did I choose it?

I am a lawyer and startet to learn how to code from scratch.

Python was being recommended because it is easy to learn. So I chose that.

Further, there are many Python/Django tutorials available online and I was always able to find my answers online. That definitely helped me to keep going and not give up.

The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga was a book I enjoyed that might help your sister. While it may not specifically address "young adult anxiety", it certainly addresses the topic indirectly from various angles.

Here's the description from Amazon [0]: "The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness. The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you."

Re:Ask HN: What's your Django side project? on Friday May 15, 2020 @10:34AM (#23192635)
I'm a Swiss lawyer working as a court clerk and have dabbled with Django myself (automating documents using python-docx and python-docx-template). I find this interesting and was wondering if you could elaborate on how you built this.
