Jack from wantobuy here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11477823" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11477823</a> - also somewhere on the first page - I agree with you Vishal and abhi3.<p>Moreover, we were rejected the standard YC way too but have got some really great feedback from the HN community which we&#x27;re implementing already!<p>I just think the whole Apply HN buzz fizzled out, favouring those that got in on day 1..we were about a week late..
