Cool project, but missed opportunity to name the arbitrary dimensions Y and C...

My dumb ass was trying to figure out what each dimension meant

That doesn't make you dumb; there is no intuitive meaning for the axes chosen; you can think of them, roughly, as statistically chosen to maximize clustering.

It’d be nice to just see the name of the company on click instead of going to the website (I’m on mobile). Trying to find our company

Company status isn't up to date... I know there's more than 1 public company that went through YC.

fun, though I also got stuck on what the Y and C axes represent initially. IMO just hide the axes altogether, since the goal is just some visual clustering/similarity
