This was a strange application cycle for us. I've applied in the past and my analytics (Google/Bit.ly) and logs have always lit up as the app was under reviewed.

This time. Nothing. Not a single click on our links or view of our video...

Which is strange because we have a great team, a live site (with an audience nearing 75k/month), income, and had an acquisition offer just a few months ago.

Maybe I missed something... Our strongest app didn't appear to be reviewed.

Did anyone else not see any hits from YC on their application's analytics?

How many times was your pitch video viewed?

Just checked: 1 view, playback duration 19 sec. That doesn't sound very promising. Fingers crossed tighter

I was really anxious up until a week and and half ago then I accepted the fact that statiscally and pratically the chances of me getting in are laughable but fingers crossed anyway

Just 1 view on YC player (back on Feb 22nd), duration 43 seconds. I think that's it for us :(

Oh, so at least we get a rejection e-mail if we don't get through right?

EDIT: So apparently, they do. Looking forward to that e-mail tonight. All the best to everyone.

Same on me, on last cycle we had our demo and vid visited although we had a very early and poor prototype, now we've been working really hard for months on it and we have a really awesome product, but no visits this time.

We even bought a server on USA so they had a low ping and did a tour on our demo. It's really hard to be working so much time on it and haven't had it even visited.
