Great ideas, Gordon. Master index page is an interesting idea. Not sure about how useful it might be, since there's already search, but I'll do that soon. Edit

Great ideas, Gordon.
Master index page is an interesting idea. Not sure about how useful it might be, since there's already search, but I'll do that soon. Edit: done.
The alphabetical list is ordered with pagination — do you mean have links A B C, etc. to jump?
Guessable/pretty URLs are on my list. Just didn't get around to it :) and I tried to have a decent nonobstructing disclaimer on the side, but maybe it needs a bit of a boost :)
Cheers and thanks! Mark
- gojomo 18y agoA master name index would let viewers sense the size of the set moreso than a reported number; see patterns in names; discover interesting names they wouldn't know to search for (and might not page 'next, next, next' to find). Such a view could also grow into a 'dynamic screener' -- one click to filter view by 'official YC', geo-location, launched-yet, etc. Yes -- I meant quick-jumps to letters. But that is really only interesting as a way to randomly browse without blind-jumps into the page numbers. Again, nice job!

"Feed" is a close second at 4: Feedback Army, FeedFlix, Feedity, and Feedscrub. Then it's a 6-way tie at 2 each: Big-, Drop-, Hot-, Res(cue)-, Start-, and Where-.
