Really great little site, tells me everything I wanted to know about the product! I'd suggest adding a "Subscribe for news about Parachute coming to my location" feature though, rather than a generic newsletter.

Liked it! Would definitely try it if available at my location. What's the pricing? Revenue model?

I Am Near is a platform that allows any type of digital content to be associated to a particular context where context is the intersection of who, when, and where. The first URL is the landing page the other URLs are test accounts that bypass authentication. For some reason the test URLs can be a bit touchy, ripping them out tonight, if you get a blank page just refresh.

Landing Page URL. http://www.iamnear.com/

Test account URLs not authentication required. http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-john-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-jane-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-bobby-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-sarah-doe

FYI The best way to understand I Am Near is create a post with one of the test accounts, otherwise there is nothing to view.

I didn't understand the concept. Who would use this? What are you solving?

We're working on bringing AI and automation to shift scheduling at https://www.StaffJoy.com - we are being deployed to production by a client for the first time this coming week :-)

On the back-end, it's a lot of integer programming optimization with custom heuristics that we use to keep the solve-times sane.

http://www.imagehex.com

It's admittedly a rough beta at present, but ImageHex is a cross between an image search engine, a social network, and (once we've built more of the site out), a marketplace for commissioning and selling your art.

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Working on Snappning (snappning.com - private beta iOS app), it's a mobile app to share your digital life through screenshots. Share and discover the best mobile content by user, app, or trending status.

Think of it as something between Instagram+Imgur+Pinterest built and optimized for discovering mobile app content.

Thesis is that screenshots are becoming a really exciting medium in of themselves, but search and discovery of mobile app content is really lacking across existing image sharing platforms.

Lots of early interest from app developers because of potential to drive app installs straight from the app using app metadata (i.e. including link to app store page) injected into every screenshot.

I'm looking for a mobile developer to join the ride btw...super passionate about screenshots as the next big medium and looking for help.

Looks awesome, there's so much to do to improve the efficiency of the government. Any thoughts on how your software might work with sites like NextDoor where I see a lot of local government discussions happening? Also, small thing but Francisco is misspelled on your address.

Currently working on Pulse (www.pulseapp.co). We're building an anonymous communication platform for enterprises and organizations. Our goal and vision is to help improve company culture through means of open communication and internal transparency.

Just recently wrapped up development on the initial version of our mobile application (iOS and Android) and are testing it out in an open beta. Would love people's feedback/thoughts! :)

Automate SaaS Sales Metrics Per Rep - http://getstacks.io

Currently integrates with Salesforce and Stripe to automatically break down metrics per employee and for a team. A tool that individual sales reps and managers alike can benefit from.

I love the sign-up dialog you guys have, nice little details. The biggest problem I see is the color palette being too similar to that of Airbnb. Maybe it's just the designer in me recognizing it, but it could be a problem for your brand since you're in a similar space.

Also love the sign up dialog. A quick thing though, the color background for signup page and login page is too similar, so i switch between the two, the mental shift is slightly hard there. Maybe have a different background color for both would be great?

The concept and website, is really nice. I like the tile-based design and layout. I personally felt that the login, sign up and how it works are in too many places on the screen.

I like the concept. It reminds me of city-wide scavenger hunts/challenges in college that helped me learn a new city. Maybe that's one activity where a local/focused version would come in handy.

This.

If you have a product close to launch, consider applying to the pitch competition at the startup conference next month. We are always looking for the best startups to feature on stage.

Re:YC S15 Interview Invites Today by juanignacio on Friday April 10, 2015 @07:53PM (#9357738)

Liked the idea and would definitely try out. It was a little slow on my end matching the airports to my input the first time around. For the flights that I tried I received options with savings raging from $50 to $100 compared to Kayak. But when I tried to book I was sent to "http://www.skyscanner.com/" and received a message that no flights matched my query. Also: I was given no "tripdelta Result", In what case should this appear or work best? (my search was for a trip from South America to Europe).

Re:YC S15 Interview Invites Today by elmalto on Friday April 10, 2015 @08:42PM (#9357906)

If you want to see some cool tripdelta results, here are a few you might like and showcase what we can do:

https://tripdelta.com/results/PHL/MIL/02-07-15/ROM/PHL/14-07...

https://tripdelta.com/results/CGN/SFO/23-04-15/

https://tripdelta.com/results/SFO/YVR/11-06-15/YVR/SFO/13-06...

Regarding skyscanner: We are working on this issue! Background: Skyscanner gives you different results depending on where you're from. Sometimes results that we get will not show up in Skyscanner because of this or you have to reload Skyscanner to receive proper pricing.

Re:YC S15 Interview Invites Today by juanignacio on Saturday April 11, 2015 @07:13AM (#9359107)

Cool. So the idea is to look for different connections and nearby airports as I see. Will try it out. Good luck!

That's the biggest problem I have with flight search as well- redirection.

This sounds like a really, really cool concept, but with some rather significant regulatory, legal and tax implications. Have you consulted with specialists in these areas to determine the U.S. and international legality of the concept? Are there people using it already (and in what country)?

At any rate, very cool!
