#12The tagline for Cadwolf is "CAD software in the browser". Does CAD in this case stand for something other than computer aided design? Based on their site it doesn't really look like a CAD solution.
When I hear CAD I think, "Computer Aided Drafting", typically 3D solid modeling for Mechanical Engineers.

#13Voting for Pinboard feels like a protest vote. Naturally, I voted for Pinboard.

#15Since it is being left up to community vote, and only 2 startups can win, isn't including Pinboard unfair to the other 19 startups? As noted in the previous thread, Pinboard is indeed eligible for YCF by the letter of the law, but including a 7-year old startup with a popular founder doesn't seem to fit the spirit of Apply HN.
Yes, Pinboard should clearly just be given a spot at YC through the normal process and see what he can do... there should probably also be two other startups through the voting system...

If Pinboard is eligible, why shouldn't it be included? I don't think that the choice of winner should be determined by what you believe to be the "Spirit of HN".
If anything, this second vote against 19 other startups is unfair to Pinboard, who I believed pulled far and away the most votes during the first phase.

#17Maciej is consistently excellent across his every project, and Pinboard is a great product I use every day, albeit with some rough edges. I'd be really excited to see what he could do with this fellowship. I fully expect I would be delighted, one way or another!

You ever feel a tension between your username and what you write?
I thought creative compliance with the letter of the rules would be welcome on a hacker website.

#20How many can we vote for? I voted for 3 of them total (voting as I was reading through), but now I wonder whether only the first one will count.
I voted for 2. Just don't vote for all of them.
