   I'm a solo founder and during the application process, I got 3-4 emails telling me to strongly consider finding a co-founder using https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching . That's great, but just look at the

   I applied to YC in the last batch and got rejected. Not to sound like sour grapes, but it seems like YC loooves students from certain universities, which kinda sucks for us commoners who didn't go to these places. Not to mention the wh

    I love spreadsheets, but wouldn't this expose all the other responses collected so far to the person filling out the form?

    Yeah that's a great idea.

    Hey, really appreciate this user test. Like I mentioned in another comment, I would love to catch a chat with you if you're interested: tahmid(dot)hm(dot)dev(at)gmail.com. Thanks again for taking the time to make a video.

    This was the easiest and quickest to start with. I don't know about MoRs' reputation in general, I saw Tailwind using Paddle so figured I would too. By the way, I applied to Lemon Squeezy as well, but their verification process ma

    Thank you, yes trying to figure out the best way to market this product. A self-hosted Typeform alternative is definitely an idea on that list.

    Great idea, I want to build comparison pages like that, challenging to do everything on my own, but trying to manage.

    I thought about the ____ syntax, but found it quite hard to fit in extra parameters in a nice way.

    Hmm I'm still trying to figure out pricing. The "Varies" Enterprise option is just there so people who are interested and I can have a proper chat because the product is so new. Definitely not a typical sales call, although I

    You can actually have more than one form field within the same slide. I haven't made that very obvious, but one of the advantages here compared to Typeform is the flexibility.

    by darkhorse13 2y ago

    Thank you! 1. Yeah I would say this was intentional. Typeforms are almost instantly recognizable, which is a good thing for a new product I think. I actually want to offer more than one form style though. If you look at the CSS file, everyt

    So I did not want to open-source yet, which is why I picked BUSL-1.1, and from what I can tell, the other BUSL-1.1 I've looked at had this clause to open-source at a later date (AGPL3 is an open-source license after all). I'm stil

    Congrats on the launch. Serious question though, does YC only fund AI companies these days?

    Completely disagree. Their website is fairly unique, and looks really nice and usable. It's a bit "standard" with the gray, but that's fine if that's their branding.

    Literally nobody knows this though. Even searching for "Horizon OS" only returns Meta stuff already.
