Thank you for the support, HN. I appreciate it.
To be clear, I have no intention of quitting. I started working on this project without even thinking about YC as a possibility, driven only by excitement and the desire to see it exist. In fact, I wasn't going to apply to YC at all, but changed my mind at the last minute.
Against my better judgement, this little idea has turned into a full time, 18hrs-a-day-7-days-a-week project (with the occasional burnout day), and I plan to keep working on it is successful or I run out of money.

- ekianjo 13y agoNice of you to share your whole application. How much time did you take to prepare it, by the way ?
- guynamedloren 13y agoWorked on the bulk of it over the course of a day, on and off. Thought about it for a while before that though (when I was unsure if I was going to apply). This was my third time applying[1], so I basically have the questions memorized at this point. Oh, and I've been recording every thought and idea for the past three months (some of my lists: http://grab.by/rKOY http://grab.by/rKOY), so filling out the application was mostly compiling those thoughts into readable form. [1] Different ideas each time, spanning 3 or 4 years. Funny enough, last year I got an interview. By that measure, this is a regression :)
- rfnslyr 13y agoWhat app to make that list?
- guynamedloren 13y agoit's just the sidebar for textmate2
- OvidNaso 13y agoI like how a few people have 'forked' your application on PenFlip. Would be lovely if someone made a few modifications and got accepted. Really like PenFlip btw. Keep up the good work.
