Is this a CRM skin for Android? It's not very clear to me. Almost every line is marketing speak. I think you should get rid of "Inch is here to help you make and live more everyday." and replace it with what the product does.

Anyone planning on buying Twitter for around the IPO price?

This doesn't really meet my definition of a banner ad.

We agree. Both the bell curve and the exponential delay curve would mean the more time spent on the application, the less likely that team is to be accepted.

An interesting (albeit impossible to track) metric would be how much time the average YC application took - and if the time spent correlates with acceptance at all. I wonder if that graph would look closer to a bell curve or exponential dec

I know a few schools in my area are buying these for internet research and word processing. They are cheap and do the job. I've considered buying one as a secondary device. For instance, I stayed a week on a beach last summer and didn&

Impressive application. I wonder what percentage of teams get accepted to interview with YC without a demo.

It's a real-time employee feedback service for software companies. It's kind of like Salesforce's Work.com[1] but tailored for software development teams. We also help gauge relative productivity of employees. [1] http:&#x2F

Cool story. You should have given it a link bait title though - "I rejected YC twice... and still got in"

To people who use Path - why do you use it over Facebook?

We bought a domain off of them a few months ago. Domain was transferred over and everything went smoothly. Said domain is still for sale on their website.

You should also revise "These phones represent a fraction of the overall android market" to "These phones represent the majority of the overall android market."

I don't know anybody who has a "cheap" Android phone. They are all SGS4, HTC One, etc. which are around the same price as the iPhone.

What happens when the user downloads a PDF? Where does an app go after it is installed by the user? These choices have to be answered one way or the other. The author of the article suggests that the company is better left answering these c

I'm an Android developer and I wouldn't list my apps on an unproven platform - let alone pay to do it. FWIW.

I was more so curious if a lawyer might try to categorize this site under currency trading or some other type of derivatives trading rather than straight gambling. (IANAL)

Is this legal in America? Edit: Why the downvotes? I'm curious if they got an opinion from a lawyer on the legality of their site.

The HN voting ring detector is so strict, I doubt people successfully game the system consistently.

I buy individual dividend stocks that I think are undervalued. I've (slightly) beaten the S&P 500 since I started investing. In other words, I don't think you have to be a professional investor or buy index funds to do well in

It's a combination of uneasiness that someone was attempting to steal from you and you have to do work to remedy the situation.

One is marketing speak showing why you think users would want to give feedback and the other is actual metrics showing a pretty high success rate of getting real feedback.

If I were you, I'd get rid of the "right person, the right question at the right time" bit in the application and include "we have shown the feedback overlay more than 1K times and have gotten a 60% feedback rate."

(I'm not involved with YC, so take this with a grain of salt.) I think the idea is really cool and I can see how useful it could be for companies, but do you have evidence that users actually give feedback via your method? I'm try
