We just received our rejection letter. Major shame, but wasn't at all unexpected. Based on Analytics and MixPanel our demo we set up wasn't actually tried, so I guess the takeaway from this was that the application wasn't as strong as we thought. Even so, the entire process of writing the application was very rewarding. It really did help focus our direction into something concrete.
Incidentally, since it's all over, here's what we posted for "tell us something interesting". (I think that was the question). I posted how 1/998001 is an awesome number!

(Perhaps I shouldn't have shown the PHP code! Ha. It's hard to make something so hacky not look so ugly).
- yaz 15y agoMy demo wasn't tried either (I checked everyday), nor did I have more than 4 pageviews of my video, most of which are mine. Good luck and don't take it hard.
- huhtenberg 15y agoHave it at all occurred to you guys that some people might be running AdBlock and alike, so MixPanel/GA scripts won't even have a change to load? Hm.
- msbii 15y agoOur demo was viewed 4 times yet got rejection. We were very confident and feeling pretty bad now :(
- chrisacky 15y agoI wouldn't worry. It's not changed a single thing for us. YC is just the lamborghini. We are still going to get exactly where we need to go in our trusty wagon, we just might of got their quicker in the Lambo. Ultimately, I don't think anything should change for anyone who got rejected.
