Do you mind sharing a link to your creator platform too?

I also signed up a couple of hours ago, eagerly awaiting a response :)

Congrats man! This is the first time I stumbled upon your extension and I have to admit, it is pretty neat and useful. I too have created one vocabulary trainer extension, but haven't released it as it way too unpolished and I am using a paid dictionary.

However, do you mind sharing some of your stats? Which language pairs are mostly used on Readlang?

Impressive but I don't see the point of diagnosing Parkinsons in early stages when there is no cure available.

Impressive. What kind of sensor was used to determine the goals for table-football?

As there is a high failure rate in startups it is very important to know though whether you are made for that kind of world. True, you'll learn a lot with every failure but not all of us want to spend years and years on miscarriages.

The blog post states that Pinboard makes around $200k a year but they charge only a one-time fee of $10. Does that mean they get 20k signups each year? Does Pinboard display ads or is there another business model behind it?

I totally agree with keeping the message short. Also I have read from several other sources that telling a story is key. But how are you supposed to tell a story in 4 sentences?

I would so much love to participate, but the flights from Europe to SFO are too pricy.

What about an YC Hacks hosted in Europe?

First it was hard for me as well to figure out "what it does" or to be more precise "how it does it" but there is this little animation on the landing page which illustrates it pretty well.

@nota.io: you could make that animation bigger or make a video out of it.

Is there a deadline until you can submit ideas and their solutions?

+1 for the simplicity of the workflow. I got it running within a few minutes.

That is truly an uncomfortable situation. Without any deeper knowledge about HamsterDB or your pro version, you might consider offering your service as SaaS and charging for that. Of course this won't work with all your pro features such as compression or encryption (or maybe it could work in some innovative way).

For instance you could charge for painless DB hosting, so users do not have to worry about complicated setups and can immediately use HamsterDB after signing in.

EDIT: But you can still go for the 30 day money back guarantee with the exposure of the pro version's source. If that fails you still can decide to switch to a SaaS model.
