Yea good call. Do you think founder stash is better? Doesn't have that ring to it as much though

Ask HN - What are the holes in the YC application process?
There are holes in every system. Anyone got some stories to share/ expose? It's foreign territory for me. But I'm sure a few ideas and stories could open avenues for some good ingenuity here - to cut through all the noise.

You aren't using any ammunition here. What is in it for the user? Sit down with some friends and ask them - what does this do? I think you've actually got a good concept here. But you have to read the second paragraph of your 'about' page to understand it.
You need just one use case. It's too confusing you're trying to be everything for everyone too early. You have no traction because people don't find it useful so try and find out why.
For what I understand (I might be wrong), but shoutt is an instant way to find people to do stuff with every moment on your phone. Simple as that.
Ask - where are people really losing out because they don't have this service. Then subsidise those people to build up your platform and attract others. Then when you find out what this is useful for right now then do all your PR. But make sure you having a concrete message.
You could use it to organize parties on campus. People could shoutt to get everyone to a party because there is going to be some mega hot girls etc. That might be a useful use case to start that would spread the word really quick.
Some thoughts that might help anyway :) It's got potential I think. I would have used it to go surfing. I can never find anyone.
Re:Ask HN: How much would you pay for your Facebook account?

Actually a bit. I wouldn't be able to connect with a bunch of people and it would be a huge tax if it was cut. It is a valuable product. It owns such a strong signal for so many people
Re:Ask HN: Education is broken, how do you fix it?

There is so much hype and talk about this it's making me sick. Too much tunnel vision. We need a drastic innovation.
As in a streamlined system built for our age. It needs to be agile.
We do education like we build products but we all know that after a four year degree more often than not we don't have 'product/ market fit'. We should train, test and iterate in small time frames.

You sound like you need a holiday! Come to New Zealand and build something great with us (we're about to launch our first iteration)! I'm low on cash too but I'll cover your rent and food :)

A friend of mine was doing them for posters to give feedback on them. Don't know how that's going to work.
