Do you guys have plans to allow styling the payment iframe? This is one advantage of the poundpay system that I really liked but as already stated, they're turning users away at the moment. This may seem trivial, but, to me, the whole point

I recommend wepay. We're building our marketplace with them and they seem to be the easiest way to get started. They have a marketplace use case: https://www.wepay.com/developer/usecases/marketplace .

This is an awesome idea. I’m not a landlord and have no use at all for this, but I really like it so I’ve decided I’m qualified to weigh in. Instead of being specifically designed for landlords, you should be more agnostic about who uses it

Python is a great language. Simple. Powerful. Easy to read. Why not? Also django is pretty great with amazing docs. I know a lot of people argue against because the django community isn't as large as the rails community (and it isn't). All

It sounds like this job is your ultimate goal or at least close. If you have your ultimate goal in hand, there's no reason to continue striving for it. I would take the job. Working there for 5 years will probably be more useful than the de

I think I would work backward from the way you phrased it. I suspect it's easier to pick out bad applications so I would focus on finding them first. After that I would apply filters to specific questions and prioritize the remaining applic

You would probably need to explain a little bit about what you're doing. Is it a marketplace? A news site? Deal site?

There are a lot of issues that will come up through out the process that require "general" technical know-how. My cofounder and I are both technical, so we learn the biz side of things as we go and the tech just happens easily. But your tec

He got the sheets. He liked the personal touch of hand-writing a thank you on the receipt. Nice touch. Things like that mean a lot early on. Keep it up. I think Airbnb is an idea to which craigslist can easily add value. Basically people we

I let Matt know to be expecting his labels shortly. We're a marketplace for dinner parties. Think the Airbnb model applied to dining instead of lodging.

Just curious. I know if I was a long time windows user and you showed me unity, I would probably run in the other direction. What is your business model? You said on the page that you don't collected payment info. Do your sellers pay to lis

This is awesome. I love the idea. It's very likely I'll be signing up soon. What do the different colors of the stickers mean? If nothing, you should let people know that the colors mean nothing. Also, on the order screen (that's right, I a

How likely are edits that I make to our application to be read? I've updated once or twice just to fix some glaring typo or to update on our progress (I feel like we make notable strides almost weekly). If our application has already been r

This problem is too easy to weed out the good hackers from the bad. Solving it doesn't show that the coder is willing to go the extra mile for your company nor does it show that the coder is any good. It's just a waste of everyone's time. T

In the footer you should consider not having so much capitalized text. It's hard to read and resulted in me not even attempting to read it. I would continue to use it as the column headers in your footer because caps works well in short bur

Was anyone else expecting that many people? I was very surprised. I overheard one of the ushers say something like 800. Does anyone know the actual number in attendance?

Video was being broadcast in real time at the event which means it was probably also being recorded. I'm sure it will turn up eventually but I got the idea that it was a professional video crew which may mean it will go through some post pr

Agreed. It's surprising how nice the YC alums are actually. I've reached out to a few and very rarely have I not gotten the answer I desired. And I've never been flatly ignored. Be direct with your question though. The hustle that likely ma

Yes. It's implied that you must first be accepted before YC can benefit you in any profound way. I'm willing to meet you half way. The stat is misleading because it implies causation. But that implication makes it no less accurate. It could

Useless? Really? I used facebook last night. And it seemed to get the job done. Are you sure you’re not being overly dramatic?

I think quite simply in terms of the numbers. YC results in a lot of successful startups. YC won’t guarantee your success, but statistically speaking, your chances are much higher.

There are a few good reasons to make a launching soon page. We made one because it allowed us to determine some visual standards for our actual product (branding, site layout, etc.) and we're using it as a way to find our users. We created

My co-founder and I ordered business cards just a few days ago from vista print. I think we paid about $50 for 250 cards. We opted to make our own card so that we could have our branding on the cards as well as our info. I think springing f

I'm almost scared to ask what you're finding. My searches aren't really returning anything too off topic as long as the word "soup" is also in there.
