Seconded on Clerky, they're really amazing, and their support was fantastic. Felt like the future - and anytime I couldn't use it to close an investment, I felt major pain. Naval is in an amazing position traction-wise though, so it'll be i

I love Travis as well and use it on a lot of open-source projects I'm a contributor to, but I've been using CircleCI for private repos so far and really love what they do. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out: https://circleci.com/

Wow, that's great to hear - especially that Mailgun will continue along as-is. Their support has been phenomenal, and we've been extremely happy users. Congrats to Ev, Taylor, and the rest of the team!

Sack's comments really did surprise me when I realized he was serious - I thought it was a joke the first time I read it, and laughed. There's just so much inefficiency and scale in the world left, who could take it seriously? There was big

Ads do seem to be the "default" business model on the web, which is understandable but a bit sad. App.net has an amazing potential around this if they build out their API and developers can use it as infrastructure for inter-app communicati

Doesn't Backlift have that? """ Give the database dude a break. Backlift offers a full back-end-as-a-service including: Data persistence and validation that works with backbone's sync mechanism """ Looks pretty awesome, I'm thinking of play

I actually quite like those suggestions. Subtle but I could see them working well.

Terrifying how quickly Trigger.io moves. This is already awesome, but I could see an A/B testing layout on top of this that alone could be an amazing startup. I expect that we'll see a lot of consolidation in the mobile tooling market as

Not to mention they're generally nice, interesting people. I love the number of people I meet in YC that I would enjoy having a drink with - the ratio has been unmatched anywhere else so far.

This is awesome. I've recommended HelloFax dozens of times in the past year and a half or so for the awesome collaborative signing flow, and only a handful of time for the fax - though it's a lifesaver when I need to fax things. The more wi

I agree, but I think it's ever so slightly ahead of its time, being a bit sluggish on most calls. It'll catch up if they polish what they have in place of expanding feature-set at some point though. And agreed about the G+ relationship - ha

Talked with these guys awhile back and was really impressed with their vision and even more with their execution. Better connecting companies that want to sponsor the appropriate events with the right opportunities helps out everyone, and

Nah, I think it was pretty solid already. I guess this is an interesting inflection point though.

Weird place to put this, but I've really enjoyed reading about your experiences on HN, and I'd love to grab a drink with you when you make it out here. sean@bushi.do And yes, one of the biggest problems of having a big living space is feeli

This looks pretty cool - As a heads up, I was going to tweet it, but the social buttons aren't working. Why build out a tool like this instead of using pre-made solutions like Splunk, etc.? Love the work you guys are doing on Streak!

Sure, but why not Sauce Labs Scout + OnDemand? That was the whole reason we built it. I don't like running VM's on my machine, I prefer them to be perfectly maintained and run in the cloud. Is there anywhere it fails to meet your teams need

I was going to say that for an eCommerce hackathon, you probably don't need hardcore algo-hackers or mobile devs, but then I started to wonder what you could do with good web skills, data-mining/scraping, and a slick mobile experience with

My cofounder and the VP of Sales at the last startup I was at both swear by http://smilesoftware.com/TextExpander/ , but it doesn't "learn", you have to predefine shortcuts sadly.

Well, what's the value in the free, small web apps? Ultimately some money, and maybe even a small company's worth of money, but not enough to affect the bottom line of a company the size of what dotCloud is aiming for. Being able to get lit

It seems like Clickable is a good match for Syncapse, but based on their funding record they must have been on track for something considerably bigger. I wonder what happened that caused the sale at this price.

And this is a perfect reason why it'll never happen. What does the other side gain from telling you the truth and burning bridges like this? Best to give a vague, non-committal reason so there's always a chance they can talk with you again
