   That's a great idea, we'd love to do some importing from vine/instagram, e.g. with #giveit100 hashtags

   Thank you so much, Paul. Your excitement is contagious. Our YC interview is on Thursday. Fingers crossed we get in.

   Thanks! We want to make a native mobile app so it's even easier to upload. Right now it's clunkier than we'd like (especially through web)

   I got a bunch of emails from people who had seen my dance video, and invited them to do the 100-day challenge. The earliest version of 100 was people sharing videos with us via dropbox folders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

   Finbarr's co-founder here. I personally love the Seinfeld method and use Lift to help with that. We want to make videos of before/after, but with the whole journey. We've made a video of one of our users, who is re-learning h

    Thank you! We want this be a place where mistakes are okay, and hope to do the exact opposite of glorifying. I've personally tried to take lots of videos when I was feeling stress/down, because that part is usually so well hidden

    Yeah, we really hope more people start documenting their startups in this way. So often you only see the techcrunch articles and shiny IPOs, I'd like to see more of the struggles.

    Thank you! We restricted it to 10 seconds to help keep the videos interesting. We definitely need a better way to trim the videos though. We'd like to build a mobile app that makes it very easy to select which 10s of the video you&#x27

    Thanks for sharing this, it's easy to get stuck in our Silicon Valley bubble. Thought it was really interesting how CodeAcademy was framed for mass media.

    Hey, I'm the dancer in the video. Totally agree with connecting with that deep-down hunger. I've tried many things - and quit many things. It's okay to quit. Quitting gives you the freedom to find the thing that you are truly

    Hi, I'm in the dancer in the video. I don't work for Lift, I'm a user. I found that once I started using it, I really didn't want to miss a day of dance. Something about having a 90+ day streak that other people are hold

    Hi, I'm the dancer in the video. Minikomi is right, I wanted to check my progress. Because I started out awkwardly though, I didn't take many videos in the beginning. I wish I had taken more.

    My designs for Exec can definitely be improved - details in the spacing/layout of the website, as well as the branding overall. There are always tradeoffs with design, and we make our tradeoffs consciously at Exec. Our priority is iter

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my design skills and going to design school is one of those ways. I wanted to get across - you can get good enough to get a decent job without going back to school,

    Hi, I designed the shirt. I didn't intend for this to come off as mean spirited. There have been overreactions on both sides of this whole mess. We made this shirt because we believe that it's okay to laugh at potty humor and support women
