I think you are right about YC W2016 title. I'm actually going to delete this thread and start a general YC W2016 candidates forum -- I think that works better.

Slidebox (http://slidebox.co) -- effective photo manager for your phone / 2 developer founders / 15k+ users from MVP
Thanks for the input. Yeah, I can see how product is just one side of the story; I just didn't think much about the rest. We do have some traction (15k+ users since this summer we launched the MVP). What other things do you think are relevant?
Just applied for Winter 2016! We're looking for some tough questions to answer! What do you guys think? Do we have a shot?
Are you working on any new business dev for DuckDuckGo? I feel that no-tracking is a soft value add and I imagine keyword-based targeted ads is limiting when competing with large search engines that tracks more information about the users. Which direction are you taking DuckDuckGo that further differentiates your product?
I really think Heroku nailed the deployment model. I just push my code, and then the code is deployed. It would be nice to have staging baked in.
Shameless plug here. Chrome extension to email yourself the current page with a single click: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/email-this-page/dk...
More in the line of "save it now, maybe i'll get to it later" :)
Clarification: It actually sends an email with a single click (not just open up email compose window)
doesn't it just open up compose window instead of actually sending it with a single click?
Very cool! I know code mirror had vim mode but this. This is something way more awesome.
FYI, contents are aggregated from wikipedia current events and published daily. Thanks for checking it out.
lol :(
oh, shoot. we should do something about the min-width :( brb. we are using code mirror (http://codemirror.net/) for editor. very very cool open source -- it has vim and emacs key binding we want to incorporate soon!
Hi, we wanted to get some feedback on our initial MVP (we tried to keep it simple) and more importantly, which direction we should take with this? We're trying to figure out which features to do next.. thanks for checking out!
Haha yeah, I think that's a great suggestion. I liked your original concept too, but I'm a little too hesitant to actually close the account..
Just curious, do you have a list of other websites that does similar things? This article has made me quite interested in it (i'm a developer) so I'd like to know more of that market. Thanks!
think it's reasonable. I personally think it's a good bar as this will be 3-5 dev hours which is about a day's work. Given you match projects with the right domain experts, this can be a good substantial project.
I think this is a great idea. I'm a software developer at a big tech company; I just signed up to see if there are interesting projects.. good luck!
