Rejection here too - honestly think we just weren't far along enough (0 users, 0 traction, barely working prototype) - will keep hustling and re-apply in 6 months. In all honesty, I really can't blame YC because the only reason we

Being in the zone (lots of energy, ideas, inspiration, optimism, focus) is really a vague description for when your body is functioning optimally. People who are depressed are given SSRIs (selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors) because yo

I think it's a great idea but not sure if it's compelling enough as a stand-alone application. Just toyed around with it for a few minutes but not sure how it's different from using Google docs? Tracking your progress over ti

This is great - just signed up! Also cool to hear about Assembly. Think the idea of automating peer-matching is great. I'd love to see some split test data on the quality of questions. I mean that would be the strength right? If you ha

Comedian Joe Rogan has a great bit about Wesley Snipes' tax-evasion jail term and how if you owe a friend money there's nothing he can do but if you owe the government money they lock you up and put you in a cage.

Great idea! Personally I don't think "Sound good?" is the right text for a button and making potential users click a button only to scroll down and need to click another button is probably going to mean losing some users in t
