How did they know it was you? Maybe change the name and remove any links to you and the project. And, fwiw, I'd start charging for it... that way if it takes off, and you make mill…

Context: 3x startup founder/CEO, focusing more on impact than constant work - Things (♥) and Reminders for todos (the latter for location based reminders or when I need to use Siri…

Hey HN, as an early user of Polymail (https://polymail.io) and friend of the founders, I invested (with money I didn't really have as a broke founder) in the company because it fil…

I feel your pain. Life seems to get more completed over time, especially when you’re managing properties, businesses, etc. I scan everything with ScannerPro on my iPhone (which OCR…

Another way around this is to not apply for the job. Find the hiring manager and ask them for advice/feedback on your experience/resume, that you value feedback more than considera…

It’s hard to argue with your market. If you look at any value-centered or “conscious” business that is successful (there are many, I used to run a blog on conscious business), they…

When Ian and I built Founderkit, we wanted to give founders tools to save time, make fewer mistakes. One of the things in YC that was always helpful was credits for services like H…

Updated title, thanks for that

It's no secret that YC services are commonly used by YC founders, especially since founders of the big startups are often super generous with credits, to help founders just startin…

Hi sixQuarks, genuinely appreciate the feedback, and the additional comments that came in here while I was writing. In our experience, actionable feedback comes from founders who h…

Hey lowglow, it actually started/was tested by YC founders, but we just onboarded several new founder networks in the weeks leading to launch, including First Round, Slow Ventures,…

There's a surprising number of very insightful reviews. Founders are busy, so short reviews are still incredible signal compared to everything else out there. We're totally open to…

Signing up shows you all of the reviews. Appreciate the feedback, no deception intended.

So much life is about the intersection of preparation and timing. What Ali fails to mention is how his startup prepared him and supplied perspective for the lifestyle approach he i…
