Ask HN: YC applications are up. Did you submit?
- somecola 15y agoJust decided to apply 40 minutes ago. Submitted with 2 minutes to spare. Liberating to not over think it. Good practice in any case.
- taskstrike 15y agoSubmitted our app. Hope they look at our demo more than our video, lol. We're not telegenic people.
- collint 15y agoYes. We just decided to submit today, and finished our video about 7 minutes before the deadline.
- jordhy 15y agoSubmitted. At the very. Last. Minute.
- adamnemecek 15y agoSame here :-).
- quanfucius 15y agoMe too...
- rr359 15y agoSubmitted and hoping for the best!
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- seancoughlin 15y agoWe submitted! Stoked.
- sample_123 15y agoWould submitting at 8:01 mark the application as late?
- aerosmile 15y agoNot sure. We submitted before 8, but the resubmit link was available well past 8 (and still is now 2 hours later). I guess the safest approach would be not to touch the application after the deadline, but if something's missing in there, it might be worth the risk.
- BobertK 15y agoYep. Two weeks ago. Had a great time making the video.
- pg_bot 15y agoYep submitted the final version today and saved a copy to google docs for reference.
- euskode 15y agoSure did. Got ours in a couple of days ago. So excited! And I agree, our video could have been so much better. There are three of us and unfortunately we couldn't be together for the filming, which makes it look even funkier.
- tylermenezes 15y agoSubmitted early yesterday, after revising it in a Google Doc for a while. Then spent the last day continuing to work on our web app. This is going to happen; whether YC is a part of it is now out of our hands.
- ryanjodonnell 15y agoSubmitted a few days ago, video took way to long to make! My co-founders and I are all in different locations across the world so we had to use a screen recorder to capture a Google+ Hangout lol
- fiyamanabq 15y agoJust got mine in today. Had a crazy problem with submitting the video, hope we made the deadline. Just glad I finally found the stones to actually apply.
- kappaknight 15y agoWe submitted today too... Hoping for the best. =)
- Achshar 15y agoI skipped this time. had some other job at hand. But i will next time :)
- ShirsenduK 15y agoWe also applied today. Hoping for the best.
- raulandrisan 15y agoSubmitted ours last week. Thought we'd make changes but guess it's perfect now :)
- shepbook 15y agoI'm curious to know how many are one-person founders.
- grigoryrudko 15y agoWe did - with Photo Time Machine - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/732431717/photo-time-machine http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/732431717/photo-time-mac...
- aDemoUzer 15y agoSubmitted as a lone founder with no-idea - I probably have like 2.3% chance :p
- jerryji 15y agoWhy did so many people submit literally at the last minute? Did you choose to do so or was forced?
- enricapq 15y agosome days ago
- brianmac 15y agoYup! Was a great process trying to cut the thing down (easy when your excited to blabber on). Also died laughing making the video. See what happens next, "IF YOUR GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO..."
- baruag 15y agoSubmitted :) As someone mentioned on this thread. It definitely helped us think through our idea and communicate it in a concise manner. The biggest take-away for us was : Simplify + Simplify + Simplify = Amplify
- helen842000 15y agoI wanted to, but I didn't. I didn't want to add an average application to the pile. I'll keep working on it for next time :)
- magnusgraviti 15y agoI have submitted but found that people I started with aren't so interested in something other than just work. So I am one of those submitting as a 1 man behind the project. So I decided to work alone for now. Simplify -> Amplify was really great to improve my project.
- davidedicillo 15y agoI was very tempted, but since the idea is still so fresh (1 week old) we decided to hold it until next round :)
- badboyblue1 15y agoWe held off submitting for W12 as we would have submitted late and instead submitted early for S12 hopefully we make it this round...
