I can't imagine it will matter too much for the yc people there. Above the minimum (clean clothes?), just be interesting, inquisitive, and personable.

There's a built-in tutorial mode (takes about 45-60min) that you should go through to get started, and then you should just start editing all of your files using what you pick up in the tutorial. You'll make mistakes, discover new features,

Seconded. When I heard Geoff speak, I wasn't particularly interested in the domain at first, but by the end of his talk, I felt extremely motivated to help out IK12 startups however possible. The work they're doing is so important, and the

I always feel frustration at this question, I can't believe that sauce labs hasn't taken off. Use capybara as the driver layer, and a proper test framework that separates the different layers, and sauce labs to hit any browser matrix you

I'd be curious to hear the alternatives, and the overall process used to arrive at the current language.

This is really exciting - the team behind this really cares about developers and their experience. They see a way things could be better, and regardless of technical difficulty, say, "why not?" Forking a db? Brilliant. Offload expensive t

These guys have such a nice view on the world - they're really eager to get kids exploring, discovering, and creating . It's awesome to see them talk because they really have a handle on it. Even more interesting though, is when they give

Definitely let us know, would love to hear about it. Anything that helps developers and users makes us very happy :)

Hey Prateek, fancy seeing you here :) We should catch up again soon, I'd love to see how SupportBee is coming along!

Just as an additional anecdote, I've heard this sentiment repeated just about everywhere in SF, especially where companies try to involve developers in support in a rotating fashion. Like I said, definitely contact me, I think there could

There are a ton of benefits to the model - it won't be for everyone, but it'll be for a lot more people once we get going at full speed. Open source is, in general, just more practical. And yeah, there are a handful of SaaS products that

Hey Erik, awesome note! We actually have some crazy-awesome api's for handling incoming emails - each app has a default email address provisioned for it, and an app can add/remove email accounts programmatically. And handling incoming email

Hey Ryan, sorry for the contentless splash page. We're building up the platform and documentation right now, and as we get closer, the work on that side gets even more intense. We'll put up a video explaining everything later tonight. In th

Envolve does the same thing - https://www.envolve.com/ except in the case of Envolve, I know what it is before I try it out, and I'm primed to use it. From a usability standpoint, this technique is awesome for third-party widgets. I can j

It's as if you're proposing that your time has value, and that fungible commodities should be sourced based on expediency and price. Utter crazy talk.

Well, that, and they come to me in a beautiful way. The grocery weekly is alright, but it places a lot of the burden on me - so many choices, and prices, I have no idea what the real "good deal" is. One of the ingenius parts of this approac

Just wanted to echo morrow's suggestion - inline registration is a perfect way of collecting and registering users. It's a natural flow, not jarring at all, and also almost endearing if I type my email into the terminal and I get an email

This is one of those opportunities that seems blindingly obvious in hindsight - the amount of data being pushed out daily is way beyond what any of us can process, especially in the typical SEC language. Turning it into meaningful (or at le

I've had the pleasure to work with him as well - I'd definitely second all of those points!

Yeah, don't mind the haters. I haven't read the copy from your page - just from the op, it does look lame. But that's fine. Work on it, make it specific, and pitch concrete benefits. If you product involves education (new model, etc.), you

I have a couple of hair-stylist friends who've been dying for this kind of service - there's almost a kind of lock-in with the salon that they work out of, where changing causes them a great deal of frustration. Having a direct line to the

I'm super psyched about these guys - what they're working on has all kinds of potential that ether pad never had. It's one of the missing kinks in the modern development toolkit. I hope we'll get a chance to look into the API soon - I kno

Given the high standard the MongoHQ guys hold themselves to, I have no doubt that they look very closely at the "core values" of anyone they partner with. As for direction, well, that's for them to tell us :) By the way, we've been using Mo

I'm torn between NFC and QR codes... or at least, I was. I've seen some really spectacular exampled of QR codes recently - while in Korea, and most recently via paperlinks. I was initially skeptical of the user experience with QR codes, but
