Wow, that is impressive. Totally missed it the first time but would not be surprised if it was intentional. Nice catch

I agree and had the same experience. Was very impressed, this is one of the more personalized and emotional experiences a company has created for me.

Seeing has how YC has an equity steak in every startup, how is a startup who can't receive funding not a problem for them? From an investment point of view, they want ALL of their companies to receive funding. If signaling is negativel

I noticed that too, I guess he does care.

Nope, it has plenty of subtle features that I prefer and the more I use it, the more I grow attached to it. I think it is a great product because it holds true to its promise of helping users focus on expressing their ideas.

I emailed Dustin about providing more emphasis on dates just yesterday and this was the response I got. > We want to encourage people to write stuff that has lasting impact. I think dates can just add an extra piece of messy context for

I have been using svtble for a few months now and when asked by a friend how it is different from Medium, I created an account on Medium to see for myself. I personally prefer svbtle's dashboard as I feel it's much smoother than M

I wonder if this penalty would have been this severe if their "apology" was an actual apology. If I was in Google's position and had waited to see the RG response, I would have been less forgiving after the tone of that lette

That's true but that is just one query, I'd assume an overwhelming of RG's organic traffic didn't come from searching the company name.

Yes, thank you. That was great, especially the end

I agree with OP. While maybe "oblivious" is a bit condescending, I would be a little peeved if I was a founder of Macaw... the design tool that has been hugely popular here lately.

by mikeg8 13y ago
That would probably be the best advice they could ever receive. Never used the product but after watching a couple of the founders speak, seeing an email they send, and then reading this "apology", I would never use RG.

I really enjoyed this post and found it oddly inspiring. Similar to the Steve Jobs quote about knowing you will die someday and how it helps make decisions. Thanks to the author.

I was waiting to hear from you guys and the answer was pretty much what I expected. Thanks for the update, Mailchimp is such a great service.

I'm in the same boat. I used to use PS but found it slowed me down after my CSS got good enough and I love having the mockup be functional from the start. When a site already has core styles, CSS and HTML seems sooo much easier because

Completely agreed. Not looking that forward to this.

That may be true, I've never used Elfster, but the design of this landing page is far superior and more festive in my opinion. I probably wouldn't use Elfster after seeing this based on appearance alone.

This sounds awesome. As a first time founder who was just about to close a small round on convertible notes, I realized what a pain some of the nuances with convertible debt were. Interest and maturity never really made sense to me from a

You provided way too little information for anyone to give you any sort of "reasonable" advice. What was the reason the majority holder asked you to leave? What were the terms you left on? Why do you still wish to retain the posit

I'm sorry but I absolutely hate your response because it seems to come from such a high and privileged position. In my opinion, 150K is quite bit of money, especially if the team has technical founders or can find a "mediocre&quot
