Working prototype w/ alpha users, but there's a lot of significant tech involved - i.e. it's not a rails app.
And no, YC hasn't been on my mind at all, nor is this a 'told ya so' to PG. I do hang out on HN under a different name though so I thought I'd post for anyone who was feeling frustrated in their own journeys since I know that in-the-moment rejection can sting disproportionally more than during the time that it actually matters, i.e. the rest of your life.
- peteforde 16y agoWell, at least it's not Rails! Sheesh, did you work that into your pitch? I understand that you're feeling hot right now, but leave your unfounded technology biases out of it.

- ycreject 16y agoYou're right. I should have said "a todo app" or something similar - Rails was what came to mind first because of 37 Signals et al who make a lot of that kind of stuff. Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of abstracting commonly made and agreed upon technical decisions further down the stack, making higher level development much simpler and less technically challenging - which is from my understanding what RoR was/is largely about. That's not to say that RoR as a framework isn't in and of itself a technical achievement though.
