I applied with Shaxpir (pronounced exactly like "Shakespeare"). It's an online writing platform for fiction authors. I like to describe it as a "Github for Literature".<p><a href="https://shaxpir.com" rel="nofollow">https://shaxpir.com</a><p>Besides the basic text-editing, cloud-sync, and ebook publishing tools you'd expect in a platform like this, there's also a big linguistic model of literary prose, which helps authors analyze the vividness of their writing, and make meaningful comparisons against the authors they admire.<p>Anyone online can explore the public version of that model, at <a href="http://prosecraft.io" rel="nofollow">http://prosecraft.io</a>, but subscribers of Shaxpir can actually analyze their own writing according to the exact same model, getting realtime feedback on the linguistic metrics of their prose.<p>I launched my beta about 3 years ago, and this is the 3rd time I've applied to YC... I applied to the original Fellowship, in the fall of 2015, and then to Winter 2016 class.<p>Fingers crossed!<p>And best of luck to everyone else who applied!!<p>But even if you don't get accepted this time around, just KEEP WORKING! Eventually, you'll find a way!
