Tell HN: Today's the day that YC invites applicants to interviews

I applied with Shaxpir (pronounced exactly like "Shakespeare"). It's an online writing platform for fiction authors. I like to describe it as a "Github for Literature".

https://shaxpir.com

Besides the basic text-editing, cloud-sync, and ebook publishing tools you'd expect in a platform like this, there's also a big linguistic model of literary prose, which helps authors analyze the vividness of their writing, and make meaningful comparisons against the authors they admire.

Anyone online can explore the public version of that model, at http://prosecraft.io, but subscribers of Shaxpir can actually analyze their own writing according to the exact same model, getting realtime feedback on the linguistic metrics of their prose.

I launched my beta about 3 years ago, and this is the 3rd time I've applied to YC... I applied to the original Fellowship, in the fall of 2015, and then to Winter 2016 class.

Fingers crossed!

And best of luck to everyone else who applied!!

But even if you don't get accepted this time around, just KEEP WORKING! Eventually, you'll find a way!

OpenSports: https://opensports.net - we make it really easy for sports organizers to run their organizations, collect money, handle waitlists, waivers etc.

If people in the Bay Area want to go to SPIN tonight and drink and play ping pong while we wait for the results to come in please comment and we'll see if we can setup a last minute event.

Also, if you want to see our hack from the YC Hackathon last weekend here is a link (https://www.facebook.com/OpenSportsInc/videos/21414657827534...) to Sequel Dan (we made an Alexa app that wrote SQL to query questions against our staging database almost as fast as we thought of them)

Good luck to everyone!!

Anima App: https://www.animaapp.com - We empower UI/UX designers.

Why is it important to empower designers?

We believe that user experience creates revolutions. There were smartphones before the iPhone, yet the mobile revolution started by the innovative user experience that Apple invented.

In our mind, more power to designers will lead to better and better digital products, which will result in more revolutionary products.

Our tools empower designers to express their vision in their language, rather than communicate their vision via mock-ups.

Today we provide tools for Sketch like Auto-Layout, Launchpad, and Timeline. Each of these gives designers more power to own their creations, we automate the front-end work.

Our toolkit is used by more than 70,000 designers and in well-known teams in Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix and more.

If you use Sketch and haven't heard about us, try us out :)

www.tothetens.com We are building a marketplace, where users can share and buy products from the photos and videos. We are starting with fashion and beauty sector.

Great to hear! Thank you!
