but there have been so many new users lately that I suppose there might be some who didn't realize it.
I'm not sure what the convention should be about identifying YC alumni in link titles. Putting (YC S08) after company names is awkward and only intermittently done. I've considered displaying them in a slightly different color instead. If anyone has other suggestions, let me know.
- gravitycop 18y agoPutting (YC S08) after company names is awkward and only intermittently done. If part of the problem is labor-intensiveness, I would suggest automating, or semi-automating (where a suspected YC-funded name gets auto-flagged for tag-approval), the tagging process. (Alternate name spellings could be added continuously over time to the auto-flag-list.) This might achieve uniform display with minimal labor expense. I agree that a different color could reduce the display awkwardness (though I often wonder in such cases if colorblind users will miss the information).
