#2Can you give any examples of late applications that eventually become YC-funded companies? Just curious.

I submitted our application with Fabricly a few hours before the deadline. We got funded (W2010). The shorter wait made the suspense easier to handle :)

I believe both Wufoo and Weebly only decided to apply a few hours before the deadline. IIRC David Rusenko of Weebly applied without even telling his cofounders.

I submitted my application a year ago literally minutes before the deadline, and was eventually accepted to the W2010 class.

Is YC funding really considered a class?
Edit: Sorry, I accidentally downvoted you. I really did not intend to. I hope someone may come along and vote you back up to 1.

I'm curious, are you on a touch screen device? I've accidentally downvoted a number of times because I missed the little arrows with my fingers. It's frustrating that I can't change my vote afterwards. Does anyone else feel like this is a problem? Seems fixable.

I've accidentally down-voted only when using my iPad to browse HN. That and accidental Facebook "likes" can be a terrible ordeal.
How would you fix that though?

I would just disable down-voting on touch screen devices. At the expense of some functionality you avoid the issue of hiding valuable content.
