Still think B2E is way bigger market but B2D is definitely a nice niche market with lots of room and more importantly helping developers build faster and better.

We recently launched www.SignUpasaService.com to help Developers build their registration, sign up and even payment pages in less than 2 minutes. One TC article later we already have hundreds of beta users!

How long until ur phone becomes a chromebox esque device that u can just plug into any screen or better yet wirelessly connect to any screen.

I used to suggest landing page but now it seems "don't make me think" can become "don't make me link!" Internet users want everything on one page and having a long squeeze page is the only option rather than putting together a cluttered landing page.

I think it's bc they found out about how airbnb used robots, scrapers and fake gmail accounts to scrub Craigslist and spam people listing their apt.

Not exactly fair considering eBay just has an awful website and UX. look at airbnb which is designed well and you will find web and app experience to b similar. Apps might not kill the website but they sure as hell will influence design.

The question is what should you care about?! The hardest part about building a software, especially a start up, is not what to put into software, but what to leave out. Pick your best thing and then stick w it (care the most about it). This may force you to neglect other aspects but make sure the things you care about are focused on and then outsource the other things you can (or put them on back burner).

I would also apply to a start up hosting program. Many hosting companies offer big discounts or even free hosting in exchange for a "powered by" on the bottom of site. Not going to solve your problem but at least reduce monthly cost.

Question is whether people would rather get a rejection letter that actually showed who reviewed app, if even at all. From what I have read there are so many applications it isn't even possible for main guys to review and ones that do get reviewed are through referrals. I think it would provide solace that only an intern read your app so don't take it too personally. The dream of YC is great but don't forget that 25k and access to mentors is attainable through some creative emails and networking. Attend events and above all don't b afraid to ask.
