For those who prefer working offline, I've created a raw-text version of the application here: https://github.com/nickbarnwell/YC/blob/empty_app/form.txt

It was very useful for me when faux-applying to have the dark glow of vim instead of the YC page's harsh white, and I thought I might put it out there for others to use.

We are still waiting to hear back from AngelPad after 2 months. I personally prefer the smaller size of AngelPad to YC. But I'm hopeful we'll hear back and get into AngelPad before application date of YC, if not we'll be applying to YC to hedge our bets.

I'm not a YC founder/partner but as far as my knowledge goes, I don't think YC discriminates between hardware and software startups.

Absolutely. Many people apply even without a H1B
