YC applicants: In case there needs to be some explanation as to why to allow or discourage this, maybe we can give some explicit rationale here. Why did some of you guys share your submissions and how does it benefit you as a YC applicant? What problem is this solving? I could guess some of the reasons, satisfy curiosity, inspire, a sense of community, relieving some anxiety, exposing some common valuable information ( no one got a YC response yet), etc. danielsiders: what is the story in setting this up?

Well I know what I'm gonna apply with next year... Google spreadsheets absolutely suck for this type of collaboration.

I'm upvoting partly because it seems a cool idea, but partly because I'm scientifically interested in what'll happen to goog docs with multiple concurrent users; valuable for knowing how it responds re using in live environments for user feedback.

Not sure if this is kosher, but lots of people were curious. Please don't hurt us.

The submissions are missing the most important part - founder bios.

I highly encourage sharing your ideas. The YC application deadline is well past us, and I'm curious about who and what was submitted. I really like the transparancy of this idea, and after the hours we all put into our applications, it's nice to see the outcome, wether you get accepted to YC11 or not.

We should totally have done a video of this. Like was said in the chatroom, it's like watching Hacker Ants at work.

Ooops. Sorry about making a reaaaaaally really tall table cell there. I actually used the same texts I used for the Ycombinator submission. If you could make the cells slightly wider, please, the text would fit better and not make the entry all over people's screens.

Awaiting the collective wave of terror when a 'Yes' appears in column M.

Has anybody received the rejection letter very soon after posting their submission in that table? I got it the next day. I don't even know if there were 24 hours between the two events :)

Sorry, seems there are too many destructive people. If you can find a way to control input, please let us know. We would be more than happy to provide input.

Shopobot looks sweet

it seems that people have a lot of fun in that list. I'm thinking that idea is not bad, and writing down your startup there is open you up to people "in same boat", allow you to collaborate and gang up to make combined projects. Therefore it is not relevant to YC W11.

Crap. For some reason my submission got on row 118. Really like the idea though!

How about a column for Intro Videos? Was that purposefully left off?

here's hoping this isn't against some rule or guideline. good idea, though!

genius!

All we need now is the ability to vote on submissions and see if we can make better picks than YC.
