Re:Tell HN: YC rejection emails have started going out on Wednesday April 17, 2013 @02:10AM (#5562959)
we haven't, and we applied before the deadline. they did email to say there was an embedding issue with our video, which we quickly corrected, but may have thrown things off.
It also depends on your relationship with the investors. If you have previous successes or other credentials often less "traction" is required.

There are also lots of ways you can demonstrate interest without a lot of coding, ex: set up a splash page to see how many people sign up before the product even exists.
