MakeFive (YC 09 rejects) add nifty stuff
Hi all,
We were aiming for a placement in the spring session of YC, but alas, were rejected. :-(
So, now that we've gotten over the fact that we won't have tans in the spring, we're back to slogging away in rainy Vancouver. (Sigh.) It would have been awesome to take part in YC, but we're still pretty excited about where this is going.
We went live with an updated version of MakeFive last week, and I thought I'd let you guys know. If you have a chance, take a boo. We'd welcome any new members and (of course) would appreciate any feedback you might like to share! It's here: http://www.makefive.com
All the best with your projects!
Eric
- cperciva 18y agoFlagged for the use of "(YC 09 rejects)" in the title -- labelling a company as a YC reject is misleading, because it implies a value judgement which wasn't made ("not accepted" is not a synonym for "rejected").
- karjaluoto 18y agoHi cperciva, I appreciate the sentiment of your comment/flag, but I think you're missing the point. I'm just being cheeky. Is humor dead? ;-) Cheers! Eric
- cperciva 18y agoIf you go back about a year in the news.yc archives, this was discussed at great length. Good points were made on both sides, but the conclusion was that pg didn't want titles saying "YC reject" (or "YC applicant who wasn't selected", either).
- karjaluoto 18y agoI see--I didn't realize that the language had that history here. (I've only been reading posts here for about six months.) Sorry for the blunder on my behalf! Is it possible to change the post to reflect this?
- cperciva 18y agoPG will edit it if he wants to -- that's why I flagged the post, to draw it to his attention. :-)
- karjaluoto 18y agoSounds good--thanks. :-)
