Why we made this site

I don't think the fact that the site is written in Arc makes the site itself any more interesting. Arc is interesting, as is the fact that it's to the point where it could be used to make this site.

Thanks for the rationale. I'm most interested in the ARC aspect of the site.

Really? I was most interested in the role that news.ycombinator.com is going to play in their application process. I think that it's an absolutely great idea and not only helps Paul but start-up-would-be's as well.

Yes, really. That's not to say I'm uninterested in the role that news.ycombinator will play in their application process, too. Once word gets out, it will be very interesting to see what kind of traffic is posted and how the signal/noise ratio changes.

To take over the world? Well this will help out y-combinator and the whole startup community for sure.

I take it this place is basically startup/tech entrepreneurship-related stuff rather than being like programming.reddit. Great, another social news site I'll check compulsively.

I'm extremely excited about this site. Startup stuff has always been by far my biggest interest in Reddit since it launched. As Reddit has grown my interest has faded considerably. Long live YC News!
