Just applied for Winter 2016! We're looking for some tough questions to answer! What do you guys think? Do we have a shot?

Firstly, maybe you should remove the (YC W2016) from the title. It is kind of confusing and led me to assume you were already a YC backed company. It's kind of unnecessary too, IMO, but I may be 100% wrong on this.

But about the app itself —

Love the simple design! You could add the "Available on App Store" button which looks more neat. But the app, and the website looks cool.

I think there is insufficient data for most people to tell you if you have a shot at YC. This is only ONE side of the whole story, which is PRODUCT. We may need to know about user stats, and so many other things. There may be some very experienced folks here who can help, though.

Best of luck, and I hope you get in! Kudos, my friend!

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?

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.

Yes, we took that out. It implies that the company was funded by YC.
