If I understand this correctly, Brightwork is essentially acting as a middleman between APIs and the developer. Are you creating new API auth tokens on behalf of each user or are you using only one token and using that to make all of the API calls? If it's the latter, how do you handle rate limiting?
Is this concept against the terms of third party APIs like Twitter/Facebook?

Advertisements (specifically online advertisements) are used by companies looking to reach their target market. For example, fantasy sports sites advertise on ESPN.com because a lot of sports fans go there.
How will you get sports fans to visit listing-platform.com?

Do distributors currently have software that you can tie into to get up-to-date stock and prices?
Are there any legal hurdles with scaling this across state lines?

Phrasing matters. If someone applies with a project management app you can say "Seriously? Another project management app? How is this different than X, Y, or Z?" or you can say "How is this different than X, Y, or Z?"
The former puts the applicant on the defensive whereas the latter encourages discussion.

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 I don't know the market). Having a comment template or something reviewers can look at without have to ask the same questions in every thread would be great.

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.

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 may have to try this out.

> 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%.
