Same here, been about 2 months and didn't hear anything. Just sent a new one, already seems much improved in that you get an application url. However, part of the application is critiquing a visual design - that seems biased against developers. There are definitely some very talented developers who would be great members of the community but don't know anything about graphic design. If anyone would be willing to vote a fellow HNer here's mine: http://forrst.com/i/5uz http://forrst.com/i/5uz Sidenote: There's is something to be said for the allure of exclusivity in these types of networks. Also, perhaps requiring a community vote / interview process before allowing write permissions on HN could be a way to stem the decline there's been so much talk about lately. Perhaps a short form of the yc application to be voted on. edit: bout 40 minutes later, I'm in. thanks anyone who voted.
