YC W15 invites will be sent out today

58 points| mamoriamohit | 11 years ago

As the invites (or rejections) will land in 1000s of inboxes today, 3% will be seen packing their bags for the interview and others will get back to building their startups.

Let's do one thing - the 97% who won't get the chance of interview will post their product's homepage and demo URL in this thread so that we all can provide crowd-feedback to them.

The happier 3% are also invited to share their products/demo as well.

Let's do it, then?

Sure! Let me preempt the thread by sharing a product that most likely did not even get to Mr. Graham's desk:

PyEDA is a Python library for electronic design automation.

PyEDA is another option that we could work on but I had to send the idea over to Mr. Graham's public email address just a few days ago. Since it was not mentioned on our application but briefly talked about (by me and most likely to myself), is PyEDA still a legitimate candidate for this forum?

Of course, sharing the beautiful things you have put hard work in deserves this thread.

MemGrid - https://www.memgrid.com/

CDN for web developers --- process and host static assets the easiest and fastest way possible.

Just keep the files in your Dropbox folder and we automatically receive, version and invoke any file generators in the pipeline. Builds CoffeeScript, LESS, SASS, compressed JavaScript, CSS, image manipulations etc. There's also handlebars templating for full-blown static website generation.

All assets are hosted at either your custom domain or at ultra-short //yourname.m7.io

CDN meets real-time upload meets asset pipeline meets git meets devops :)

Nice idea, I could see myself using the compressed javascript / css feature. Wouldn't this be better done by focusing on git commits rather than dropbox, though?

Edit: I'd rather it just minified and gzipped the files, and uploaded them to my existing storage (e.g S3) rather than setup a new CDN.

Batatuá - We created a mathematical model to calculate human perception and we use it to allow people to rate companies and persons without human emotion, also we can calculate the true intelligent profile based on how (humane, innovator, directive and producer) they are and the objectivity of the ratings, with this information intelligent people will have more importance in decision making in every level. It is impossible to falsify ratings, defame, or try to favor someone, everything is real.

We have a prototype/demo at www.batatua.com, registration needed.

(Working in a new version a lot more easier.. haha)

About our own product, we are building something to help web and mobile business grow their revenue.

Horntell - http://horntell.com Demo - http://demo.horntell.com

We allow businesses to automatically engage their users and turn them into champions. I think, demo should give you a fair piece of idea.

What do you think about the demo, guys? Awesome? Good? Or just Eh? :)

TIA

[+] aliakhtar|11 years ago|reply
I closed the tab when the demo asked for a name / email. Why should I give my name / email before I know whether or not I want to use something?

Nice design, though.

Synaptitude: http://synaptitude.me/

Do not know if my team is accepted or not, but either way we are going forward with our idea.

A way to help everyone focus and improve, especially, ADHD, depression, and anxiety without any negative side effects.

Further, we accomplish this via an improved method of reviewing EEG data, which we intend to patent this winter. Hopefully, this can improve medicine overall.

Great initiative!

I tried to do somewhat similar as a hobby project -- connecting Zeo (now bankrypt) product (brain sensor) with a serial port to the computer and processing the real-time feed with python in order to provide feedback guiding to better focus or whatever the expected brainwave frequency was (deeper meditation was the other goal).

In the end it was working quite well so as a technology this can work great! Working well as in being able to transition my brain state easily. In terms of focusing better -- not sure, I'm quite well focused most of the time and I wasn't sure which targets to hit with my brain :)

My real goal with my hobby was more ambitious -- to use brainwave hemisphere sync technology (binaural beats) to guide brain to the expected state while monitoring the actual brain state with the sensors. Unfortunately, as with hobbies, time ran out and currently not working on it.

BUT -- it could be a fun thing to think about --- using brainwave entertainment/binaural beats in sync with your sensors for maximum effect! Thoughts?

Hubify let's you create and manage safe community commerce hubs and list anything for sale, for rent, for hire, and post part-time jobs.

Solo-founder with a pre-launch project that was not invited to interview. Not surprised, but I don't regret applying. 200 days to progress and make a much better case for the next batch.

Have you heard of mytag? Many start-ups are one form of craigslist or another with some flaws fixed. How is hubify different?

Jon Oringer, the CEO/founder of Shutterstock, mentioned that the industry is badly in need of "a way to automatically choose visually pleasing photos according to exposure, contrast, shadows, and objects to choose a handful of photos worthy of publishing."

Tried looking for the article but couldn't. Definitely B2B type of product.

It'd be interesting to see a before/after photo to see what your AI can do to a given photo.

well, that's the first application (finally!) i see that it doesn't have a home page all fancy yet. Nothing's wrong with it of course. Just shocked when all other founders have time and skills to make their WP pages look so nice
