   Does it get much hate, though? Snowfall and The Jockey, the NYT pieces, use scroll to trigger pretty much everything, and they received tons of attention both here and in more mainstream media outlets.

   It's a good-looking site, and I like the idea, but it doesn't really seem "minimally viable" without any content. I'm digging the blog, though, and look forward to following along!

    To add to your point about going slower: You can also attend your professors' office hours and dig deeper into the subjects your classmates are forcing you to learn so slowly. Depending on the course, they'll often have additional

    Do you have a clear user acquisition strategy that more money would accelerate? If not, what do you need more money for?

    I believe PG has said that YC won't do follow-on rounds for YC companies due to the signaling effect that would have for outside investors. Then again, I know some YC partners invest in YC companies independently, so it seems like some

    If it's just a side project, why not host it on Meteor? All you have to do is set up a CNAME record to point at origin.meteor.com: http://docs.meteor.com/#deploying

    I think saying that he broke the Top 25 list is a bit misleading. Here's what actually happened: "I ended the first day at no. 27 in the UK charts, no. 21 in Australia and no. 20 in Latvia (the winners of the Olympic BMX racing).&

    I'd focus talking to potential customers and building out whatever features make the product "minimally viable" for them. If you're pretty sure you know what they need out of your product (which, unless you have credit c

    Cool project! Have you considered some sort of a selector that lets you choose how much text you want to generate? Generally you'll want more than a sentence of filler text.

    I think GitHub pages serves that niche well. NeoCities seems like it's more built for the beginner, which is something I can't say of git.

    I'd just like to add that you should probably include some images in your site. It'd certainly spruce things up a bit. Check out the new Digg ( http://digg.com/ ) for an example of a super slick news aggregator site

    I deleted my account six months ago or so and just tried to log in, which failed. Is it possible you just deactivated your account rather than scheduled it for deletion? Could another app have authenticated as you and reset your countdown?
