Launch HN: Charityvest (YC S20) – Employee charitable funds and gift matching https://ift.tt/2OM2UZ7

Launch HN: Charityvest (YC S20) – Employee charitable funds and gift matching Stephen, Jon, and Ashby here, the co-founders of Charityvest ( https://charityvest.org ). We created a modern, simple, and affordable way for companies to include charitable giving in their suite of employee benefits. We give employees their own tax-deductible charitable giving fund, like an “HSA for Charity.” They can make contributions into their fund and, from their fund, support any of the 1.4M charities in the US, all on one tax receipt. Using the funds, we enable companies to operate gift matching programs that run on autopilot. Each donation to a charity from an employee is matched automatically by the company in our system. A company can set up a matching gift program and launch giving funds to employees in about 10 minutes of work. Historically, corporate charitable giving matching programs have been administratively painful to operate. Making payments to charities, maintaining tax records, and doing

Launch HN: SuperTokens (YC S20) – Securely manage session tokens https://ift.tt/2YIHUb2

Launch HN: SuperTokens (YC S20) – Securely manage session tokens Hi everyone! My name is Advait and I co-founded SuperTokens along with @rishabhpoddar ( https://supertokens.io/ ). SuperTokens helps companies securely manage their session tokens, saving developer time and preventing identity theft. We started SuperTokens 1.5 years ago when we were building a consumer app and wanted our users to be logged in for a long time in a secure way. When it came to managing user sessions, there was a lot of ambiguity. We read many forums (Reddit, Stackoverflow) and blogs, and found that developers were arguing about best practices, such as using local storage vs cookies, implementing JWTs, etc. We had to do a lot of the first principles thinking ourselves to understand the tradeoffs. Around the same time, Facebook, Docker, Gitlab, Youtube, Uber were in the news for session vulnerabilities. Stealing a user’s session allows you to access their account as if you had their username and password. Henc

Launch HN: Taiv (YC W20) – Replace TV commercials with content people care about https://ift.tt/33QD2Cd

Launch HN: Taiv (YC W20) – Replace TV commercials with content people care about Hey HN! We’re Noah, Avi, and Jordan from Taiv ( https://www.taiv.tv ). We make a box that lets sports bars and other businesses replace live TV commercials with content their customers actually care about. A year and a half ago, I was sitting in a local bar and saw a commercial showing that the same beer I was drinking was cheaper across the street. The place I was in had other drinks on specials for way cheaper and great happy hour food, but they didn’t have an effective way to tell me about it. I ended up walking away feeling ripped off when I could have left a happy customer if they had been able to more effectively make me aware of their specials. It got me investigating how businesses communicate with their customers. I found out that half of all restaurants close within a year and that one of the most common reasons they fail is because they’re unable to educate their customers about everything they
