Ask HN: What is happening with Apply HN?

15 points by tymbaka 10y ago ↗ HN

The deadline for Apply HN submissions was April 27 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11440627), looks like new applications are not coming in, but the voting and commenting is still live. The main link https://news.ycombinator.com/applyhn is showing random list on every visit and not a ranked list.

Given the small overall numbers on votes and comments – is this YC experiment in this execution considered a failure? Can we expect another iteration on the next YCF?

And what about startups that have submitted their ideas – has some of you received useful feedback or growing interest on your project?

It appears to still be a work in progress. My gut feeling is they are not sure what to do now.

I am very happy YC ran this experiment. It is the only firehose access I have come across to the VC pitch stream. It really is enlightening to know what people are trying to fund raise.
