Show HN: Share and Critique Each Other's YC 120 Application Videos
As per [1], this space is for people to exchange and critique each other's YC 120 application videos.
Applicants:
Post the link to your YC 120 video in a top-level comment. See [2] for instructions. Minimize extraneous text: YC 120 applications don't leave a lot of room for additional text anyway, so it's best if your video can stand on its own.
Critiques:
Attach critiques as second-level comments under the videos you're critiquing. If you need additional guidance on how to critique, I recommend Mary Robinette Kowal's excellent infographic on the topic [3].
Replying to Critiques:
Reply to critiques only for clarification. Avoid defending yourself; arguing doesn't accomplish anything. I recommend [3] if you're struggling to figure out how to interpret feedback.
Others:
Avoid discussion of YC 120 itself; there have been other posts for that and you can start a new one if you want to discuss it more.
Good luck everyone, and don't forget to enjoy the journey!
