   Not an old-timer, but really hope more and more ppl choose to support the service financially since I get massive value out of it. Maciej's writing is great too! He's just generally a person worth sponsoring/supporting IMO.

   I've used Taste before and it worked really well. The quality of the food was high (we ordered from a NY restaurant we really liked) and putting together the "finishing touches" was the right amount of work. Made for a great

   Wanted to come here to plug this: https://teams.startplaying.games/ . Participated in a hosted game with them a week ago and really really enjoyed it. Think that D&D and other role-playing options like it are a great way

   Been working on https://tryquilt.com , a production service that creates a 1hr polished video interview about a loved ones' life, for about a year now. We did user research, figured out ops and how to tell the stories in a w

   Thanks for sharing this story. This is something I suspected and have actually complained to customer support about repeatedly (things are buried within menus of menus, strange link redirects that don't make sense, functionality that i

   This feels like a setup for a broader push into healthcare by these companies. The sector is still growing, Amazon is already working out the pharmacy space. "[F]ree from profit-making incentives and constraints" sounds like the s

    We (Casepad) also applied via the traditional path to YC Core and YCF. We put in a weak application the first time around, unfortunately offering a less helpful signal as to whether or not HN identified something that was missed, so we took

    Hi, I'm Gabriel, one of the co-founders of Casepad. A bit of background on us. I'm a '14 college grad. I'm also a self-taught software developer. I worked for a bit under a year as a data analyst, writing R, SQL, and pro

    Hey, just wanted to point out some guidance from OP so you don't risk disqualification: "And if you're an applicant or a friend of one, please don't post in the thread below, except to answer questions about your startu

    Thanks for the comment and the links. Your point is well taken. We are committed to building transparently and with good standards. We have looked at some existing legal documentation standards such as LegalXML[0] and are still in the proce

    Hey, thanks for the question! The short answer is, I am not sure. We haven't really had the time to examine the demand/need for this type of service outside of the US. The longer answer is that if we were to expand abroad the data

    Hey, thanks for the question. I think your intuition here is correct. Like a few other comments mentioned the buyers are very very conservative. Our first step to sales will be to deliver on what we've promised to the firm that has tak

    Will definitely look more into this. We had looked into some encryption options based on our current database solution but will dig more into it re figuring out how to hide the users' data from us.

    I might still change the title. The reasoning behind the current choice was that I personally find the specificity to be a bit more compelling even if it is intended only as a go-to-market strategy. When I used to pitch this to folks as &qu

    Thanks for the feedback! This makes a ton of sense. We are planning to have an API and make it easy for folks to import/export data as a top priority. A few related questions: 1) Would you be comfortable with the product storing a rep

    Thank you for your comment. It is spot on. Like I alluded to in the comment above, this was the problem that originally captivated me about the space. I was retrieving some documents from court and had to go there in person once, and then 3

    Thanks for the comment. As I've mentioned in other replies we have been warned about the dangers of the procurement process and read a ton about it too. The first iteration of this idea was actually to try and sell to courts to create

    This is 100% correct and something that we have considered. If you go and talk to IT managers, chief clerks, and chief judges it quickly becomes clear that the politics of these sales to court clients are tremendous obstacles to overcome. T

    First off, thank you very very much for your comments and feedback. This post is amazingly on point based on everything we have seen so far. A few points to elaborate: -They are. The folks we are developing with use one of these. We are sti

    This is definitely a valid concern to have. Based on our research we think the guts and functionality of the product are portable to other use cases in the legal system. We might have to tweak the data model a bit, but the guts of the appli

    Thanks for the questions: 1) Not much so far as I can extrapolate (IANAL though). The data is provided by the attorneys and they will be using this as a service. We will have to have some sort of uptime guarantees stipulated in our agreemen

    This is 100% correct and agrees with our research. The mobile use case for PDs has a lot to do with them just being able to access their case files electronically from home, something that a lot of their in-house CRMs simply doesn't al

    Thanks for the comment. i) Data portability is a key feature for us. As the excellent comment above noted users have been burned by fairly complex and locked-down in house CRM systems so we are doing our absolute best to make sure that the

    This is more an artifact of how our data is currently organized more than anything else. It's on the list of things to fix once the guts of the whole system are set up. We track height and weight (as well as a few other characteristics
