The tech powering the application form is completely new this year and was rewritten from the ground up by the YC Software Team. A lot of the credit goes to Brett Gibson for implementing an ungodly amount of features needed to handle not just accepting the data, but migrating old applications, building tools for reviewers and having it all work seamlessly with HN. Anything that doesn't work is probably my fault.
One thing that's new is we separated out a separate form for each founder to fill out. Not sure how that's going to work, but hopefully better. We'll probably keep tweaking the interface over the next few weeks, so if you have any feedback about the new flow, we'd love to hear it.
- onuryavuz 12y agoNew application form looks great. Kudos to Brett! I just have one feedback : There are some questions that are correlated with the previous ones. When this is the case, you may remove some of the questions by considering previous answers. For example, "Which of the following best describes your progress?" After I answer this question as "Launched", it still asks the following question "When will you have a prototype or beta?".
