Light Table is in YCS12

We normally would wait to announce this until it was time to drum up the press machine, but it was more important to us that you guys know what's going on.

If anyone has specific questions/concerns, I'll be lurking.

I initially donated to make sure light table becomes a reality, but I will not withdraw my donation because I think this is a very worthwhile project and I still feel proud to support it. In other words: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

I was planning to contribute towards the end of the campaign, but now that the kickstarter is successful AND YC is taking it under it's wings, I'm going to wait to be a retail customer.

Wish you the best of luck, this project is very interesting.

Seconded! I think you guys are building something great here, and I can't wait to take it for a spin. Keep it up!

Did you apply to YC, or were you invited to YC?

(I am curious how the process works for startups that already have significant traction before joining YC. Humble Bundle comes to mind.)

We had actually applied previously with a totally different idea, but then Light Table blew up and we resubmitted late.

I'd always been curious about what needs to happen for a late application to be accepted. Thanks for the transparency!

When we realized that multiple YC partners had already independently contributed to the Kickstarter project because they wanted to use Light Table themselves, it was not a hard decision.

I haven't seen Nathan talking about LT much. I'm assuming he's on the team from your previous YC attempt, am I correct? I was going to congratulate both of you, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Actually it's with another friend from high school :) He's dealing with trying to move out here right now, but you'll be seeing him a lot more - ibdthor is his username.

Question. Did this:

> I've been quiet over the past couple weeks as I've been putting together a demo to show the real power of what's to come and I can't wait to show it to you all. I'll give you a little hint: I've been making a lot of sssSSSSssssSSssss noises lately ;)

ever get released? Was the demo for the YC?

I assume it's going to have Python sssSSssSSssupport.

We normally would wait to ... we believe we have the best possible chance ... We rallied together ... we wanted to let our supporters know ... We want to thank you all ... we were able to come together ... we can work to make it a reality.

Who is this "we"? Is it just you, Chris?

If it is just him, you may call this an old habit of an enterprise past.

I pledged because a) I like the fact that you're thinking outside the box, b) you're building something I wanted to build, as I think all IDEs are obsolete, c) you're building it for my favorite language first (Clojure) and d) I want it built as quickly as possible.

None of these reasons became invalid when you joined YC, so the pledge still stands.

Are the release dates for Kickstarter backers changing at all?

If they do, they'll be getting better, not worse.

Well do not even think of the term 'delay' or 'slip in schedule'. You have beaten up enough hype to keep people on toes expecting this thing to come out.

In fact it will be very interesting if we see commit logs on something like Github. A lot of people follow a certain project(s) which they like.

That may also help you test and flush out bugs as needed while soliciting feedback.

All the best and expecting to see a solid product out!
