This is so awesome. Though I only have 2 servers and repo is not very huge but sometimes it takes close to 10 secs to deploy. A 45% decrease for python is incredible

OP here. This is great, YC doesn't give you feedback on the rejection but the HN community does. Thank you guys so much for reading through our application and giving us some very useful feedback.
37.
by pacifi30 13y ago
Yes, YC rejection has made us even stronger to improve our product further.

I have got to digest all these points. If nothing I have got amazing points for marketing Truffle as well as improving our vision. For now all of our focus is on getting traction. Thank you for your feedback :)

I love your feedback, I do agree that there is a lot of competition in the online dating market but still I believe that the way it is done currently will be disrupted. People are just used to the current way of browsing a catalogue of imag

Yes, I agree I think couple of people pointed out the grammatical errors in our application so that might have been a red flag too.

-> class thing specifically backfired for us but the intent was as you said "people with similar intellectual interests/career aspirations/" Thanks for the feedback, I guess this is going on our next one.

OP here, I agree. I guess @mlyang put that in better words than us "people with similar intellectual interests/career aspirations"

OP here. On dating websites like okCupid and match.com, you have to write a message to the other person to start a conversation. On Truffle, there is no online messaging. You are presented with 3 users every 3 days, if you like them, you se

We have 315 users now(still not much, I totally agree in terms of YC numbers). "57" is the number that we converted from the likes of okCupid and match on to truffle

Ah thanks, I guess writing YC application answers helped me in defining my vision and pitch better. BC is not far from Seattle, should be there by end of this year :)

OP here, would love to get comments from the HN community.

http://www.truffle.io/ is on similar lines but for dating among start up people. It's only launched in Seattle though. Disclosure: It's my startup :)

I was invited last time and I don't know on what basis I got the invitation. I was just curious if anyone got the invitation for that reception party as of yet

Does anyone know if there is a pre-reception party this year as well?

You are so good, I love all the details about the day to day requirements you included in your blog.

by pacifi30 13y ago
Agreed but once you have started the conversation with someone on the dating app, scheduling would make it easier to meet! Yes starting a conversation is hard but then there are apps like tinder and truffle that let you like or ask out for

Interesting, I like it. What you are saying is basically a more refined idea about apart from the use case of picking the best time and location for a dinner with your friends, this functionality can be used by schools to schedule a class d

by pacifi30 13y ago
Ok now I got it. This was actually a problem when I was in ASU that has a huge issue with scheduling. I wonder if the schools have an automated process to do this or they do it manually. I am tilting towards it being manual. But you are rig
