Yes, sorry. This bug got fixed at a certain point, so not all the late edits marked the application as late.

#54I'm totally going to pitch an application submission management system in the next round. I know of at least one potential customer.
Tried that in this round. No love. :(
Actually, it was a pretty sweet demo of the product. It would totally make the YC application process so much smoother from YC's side and (most importantly) allow YC to provide feedback to rejects (that feature alone would be amazing!).

This cycle there's already ~145 slots taken, so I'd gue…
Surprising to me that so little. Since there is no fee to enter, I imagine every high schooler who knows how to write a `hello, world' would apply.
