Notta so far. :) Willing to share a link or the idea?

Email me and I'll share my application with you! (In my About)

Your previous venture (http://psdtowp.com/) has a great looking site. Well done.

I wasn't aware that the YC partners asked questions. I figured it was handled in much the same way that college admissions are. i.e. They go through all the apps, determine which entrepreneurs show the most potential and then contact everyone on the 7th and no sooner.

Were you asked a question? What was it about? The idea or the founders?

I thought the same thing. Exciting to know, and I do remember reading something like "the earlier you apply, the more time we have to interact with founders". Too bad for us though, because we only learned about YCombinator shortly before the app. was due and got it in at the last minute. But last week lots of Alum were writing about their experiences and at least a few reported slapping their app together at the last minute so we remain hopeful!

Yes, we got a question. Did you have one?

That's pretty exciting! By phone or email? We haven't. I wonder if they review in order received? How early did you submit?

We submitted maybe an hour before deadline, it was within HN.
