Startups Wiki: Ask YC Archive
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoI was keeping a list of these, and I just decided to make it public and build it out a bit. If you have additions/deletions/organization ideas, you can edit it, or just put them on the comment page: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/startupswiki/Comments_on_Ask_YC_Archive http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/startupswiki/Comments_on_Ask_...
- edw519 19y agoWow, great work! I even found some posts I made over 180 days ago. Amazing how much smarter I got in 6 months.
- ericb 19y agoSo weird... I was thinking of this very idea about an hour ago, but decided I didn't have time to implement it. Very nice implementation! The conversation here is valuable enough to save and annotate...
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoYeah, I had been thinking of doing it since first using the site and noticing the repetition in questions and lack of great search. Search has improved, but I still was finding it difficult to quickly find the quality discussions on a given topic. So I finally decided to just do it (and finish it today). I have grander plans for the Startups Wiki in general, but those will have to wait for another day...
- prakash 19y agoWow! How long did it take to do this manually?
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoWell, I've been saving posts for a while, so that part I'm unclear on. The organization/building out part: ~8 hours. http://ask.searchyc.com http://ask.searchyc.com helped a lot.
- Frocer 19y agoThis is awesome, thanks!
- fallentimes 19y agoGabriel, this is a gold mine - thank you.
- iamdave 19y agoGreat work, this should really help out newer members, especially if we can get a link up in the navigation bar.
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoI agree that something like that (a link or a page of links) would be useful to new users (and old). There are other services like HackrTrackr and searchyc that would be useful to link to as well. I can't speak for the others, but I, for one, plan to maintain this page.
- tjweir 19y ago+1 Awesome. Thanks for your effort, this is an excellent resource.
- t0pj 19y agoSimply awesome. Great job!
- omfut 19y agoThats awesome. You have done a great service to all the hackers here in YC. Great work. Thanks.
- lux 19y agoWow, thanks! That's a great list!
- dangoldin 19y ago+1. Thanks for the effort. For newer members like myself this definitely helps - which also helps the older members since I am not reposting.
- SwellJoe 19y agoI admire the "no style" style. A touch of good typography, and it turns out very pleasant to read.
- thomasswift 19y agoCheers!!!
- ROFISH 19y agoWhy is there are Rails and a RoR section, they're the same thing. (Are there not any pure Ruby questions on YC too?)
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoMy bad. Fixed. I must have switched the name mid way through, and didn't realize when cleaning it up. (Yes, I know they are the same thing.) There is a Ruby vs Lisp q under X vs Y (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=98227 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=98227). Otherwise, I didn't see any pure Ruby questions. But if you have some saved, I'd be happy to add them. Or you can.
- spencerfry 19y agoEveryone has already said this, but I want to give you my own thanks. Cheers to you, sir!
- agentbleu 19y agogreat idea
- wumi 19y agoyou know, what good will this do if new users don't see this when coming to the site?
- raju 19y agoGreat job sir. Thanks!
