I've used firebase for other apps but not video storage. From what I've read about how it works, its better to store the media in some 3rd party system such as S3 and keep the link to the file in firebase. Here is one good thread

It would be very interesting to see a split of these applications vs those that were accepted and those that are still around/exited successfully.

I hear lots of success stories with React Native but how come I don't see any recognizable names in the list of apps built with React Native? One possible explanation could be that the most popular apps can afford dedicated iOS/An

I don't think money was an issue. Wes Bos gave some numbers on his Sublime Text learning course and extrapolated that the Sublime team had made a few million easily for what was a one developer operation. He based his numbers on assumi

This is very nice to see. Just last week Sublime started releasing new dev builds after close to a year of silence. Sublime is my favorite text editor and it seemed like it was going to drift off into obscurity but this will definitely inje

Interesting read. They got lots of data through their service, but its scary at the same time how much of what we do is known by these companies. They know what percentage of their users who are broncos fan where fitness trackers!

Great report. Do you know of anyway to monetize slack apps? Also, I like the icon, where did you get it?

Thanks for offering this service. What determines which founders you meet with? Since you had 650 founders apply the first time around and met with 50 teams there must be some filter and I assume its not random.

I hope to see them succeed with their IPO, they seem like just a good company. They got solid revenues that they have been reinvesting while staying profitable, so this IPO could let them grow much faster. With $319.5 million revenue, the I

This is why there is so much more room for growth in the software industry - applying software skills to jobs that had no automation before.

This really shows the value of a few good engineers. I can easily see this taking a team of engineers much longer, but in this case a few engineers figured out the least painful solution and implemented it with minimal down time.

I like the idea of YC funding research. Bias free and politics free research can go a long way. A couple of questions though for @sama: 1. Where will the research be based? Is YC providing space to setup lab? 2. One of the problems I see wi

Whenever the bubble 2.0 or not debate is brought up, people mention that the current companies are creating value. While some are, there are also plenty of others like the one mentioned in this story that cater to a certain sector of societ

As Sam said, take a semester off. I did that during college just for some personal exploration and its one of the best decisions I ever made. Once you get started with work, taking a 6 month break is MUCH harder - aka it'll never be th

I think it could be argued that people that drink heavily harm more people around them then people that smoke. I don't have any studies to say which one is worse, but there is no way you can say people that get drunk don't have a
