I highly encourage sharing your ideas. The YC application deadline is well past us, and I'm curious about who and what was submitted. I really like the transparancy of this idea, and after the hours we all put into our applications, it's nice to see the outcome, wether you get accepted to YC11 or not.

Yeah please use this version, I was wondering how long it would take trolls to destroy the page, less than 1 hour ;p

Agreed, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to keep at it
I looked at building something similar a while back but found most of the big retailers (Amazon, eBay) prohibited you from storing historical price data. Unless that's changed I'm not sure their approach is going to be feasible in the long term.

Thanks! blush
We put a lot of time into the design. We've held off any sort of "rate my startup" to see if we make it to the next round.

See, we non-technical co founders can make a difference. Just give us the right tools!

#38it seems that people have a lot of fun in that list. I'm thinking that idea is not bad, and writing down your startup there is open you up to people "in same boat", allow you to collaborate and gang up to make combined projects. Therefore it is not relevant to YC W11.

#39YC applicants: In case there needs to be some explanation as to why to allow or discourage this, maybe we can give some explicit rationale here. Why did some of you guys share your submissions and how does it benefit you as a YC applicant? What problem is this solving? I could guess some of the reasons, satisfy curiosity, inspire, a sense of community, relieving some anxiety, exposing some common valuable information…
there are about 50 users on it now...seems to be working okay
