The YC backing actually made me pledge. I held back initially figuring that I would easily be able to buy a license further down the road without taking the risk of seeing you guys give up (no offense intended!) However, getting into YC makes me appreciate how very serious you are and so I treated myself to an early beta. Good luck, I'm REALLY looking forward to trying Light Table out :)
Now, if only YC can invest in TextMate so that we can have 2.0!
TextMate 2 came out a while ago. It changed its name to "Sublime Text 2" and it is awesome.
We normally would wait to announce this until it was time to drum up the press machine, but it was more important to us that you guys know what's going on. If anyone has specific questions/concerns, I'll be lurking.

ever get released? Was the demo for the YC?
Does this change the story on it being open source?
Nope! The plan is still for the platform to be open source, likely under a GPLish license.
Alternatively, will you be releasing under a commercial license?

Ugh, please avoid the GPL. Go for Apache or BSD or something more free.
It's a standalone piece of software, not a library. How does it being GPL affect you?
Sprinkling the GPL on top of a project no one wants anyway does nothing (I say this from experience), and applying it to a popular program just holds it back (by keeping it from getting the cash that people would otherwise pay).
As an end-user, I want to see Light Table take off, and to continue innovating, not to continually engage in campaigns for donations.

Please consider a BSD-style license. There are lots of people that can't or won't use GPL-licensed projects. Alternatively, will you be releasing under a commercial license?
For a project like this, the GPL makes the most sense: an IDE needs people who use it and people who contribute to the core project much more than it needs people who use its code in proprietary projects of their own.

Who is this "we"? Is it just you, Chris?

We normally would wait to ... we believe we have the best possible chance ... We rallied together ... we wanted to let our supporters know ... We want to thank you all ... we were able to come together ... we can work to make it a reality. Who is this "we"? Is it just you, Chris?
