I think a mini application with a few questions from the normal YC app as a comment would be helpful. I see a ton of Show HNs in which I have no idea what the product does (either because the website copy is vague/confusing or because

This is interesting, but dangerous. Smokers make up 90% of lung cancer deaths [1]. At some point you have to acknowledge that smoking definitely does something to influence lung cancer. [1] http://www.lung.org/stop-smoking&#

I've been told I have white coat hypertension. My bp readings are 130-140/85 in doctor offices and usually 110-120/75 outside. High bp runs in my family so I've been considering monitoring on a more consistent basis. I m

> And by the way, except for two elections, voter turnout in the U.S. has hovered between 70% and 80% since the 60s. Where are you getting this from? I was under the impression it's closer to 50%.

If reddit figures out how to get past the legal and technical hurdles this brings, I'm very excited to see what comes of it and if other online communities will do something similar. Communities which produce a lot of content/valu

When was the last time you used Android?

That's what I figured. That seems like it would be incredibly clunky to use. Turn the dial, scroll up, turn the dial some more, scroll left.

by 6thSigma 12y ago
I'm skeptical about a few things - mostly regarding the dial. They are trying to replace pinch-to-zoom, but how does it know where to zoom? Also, the main UI screen with all of the apps looks ridiculous. They don't want you touchi

Parse is a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS). A BaaS is a great solution to connect your app to a backend server without having to build the backend yourself. Why would you want your app to connect to a backend? Without a backend, you can only st

Stripe paid $3,000,000 for 2,000,000,000 stellars FWIW. Edit: They are calling the $3M a loan, so not sure if that is the full payment in stellars or not.

YC is all about investing in companies that solve a problem. Gaining early adopters is a problem that product builders have, and Product Hunt seems to be doing a good job of helping to solve that problem.
