Thanks for the kind words :)
Problem with building cool stuff for me is, I'm the idea guy, I usually get lot of ideas in different fields, I figured that is a problem, more than a asset. I found a way around this, I archive all ideas, and wait. Some ideas seem stupid after sometime or after some discussion, example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3116788 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3116788. I only choose to work on ideas that appeals to me even after 6 months. Actually, I'm building both products for me, 1. Project management tool ( sure! not basecamp copycat ) and 2. News Website with an interesting twist. I desperately need both and I hope the world will come to love it.
Edit: that is not to say, I don't build cool stuff. I built an astrology site that updates itself ;) http://rasi-palan.com http://rasi-palan.com (Its ugly, but it works ;) built in a day)
My first YC application was a mistake, I was in a mindset like, "What will I build if I get money?". My current mindset is "What will I build, regardless of money".
Since my first product will be SaaS Application, it will survive by itself. I'm still worried about the second product, since its a consumer application like youtube, twitter, I thought I might go broke running it. Now, I think if a consumer product gets that amount of traction, then It may very well attract investors.
Anyway, We'll get our MVP online first. We'll see from there. :)
