I'm still early days with my startup, but some of the stuff on here has come in useful. It's a document that attempts to span the whole lifecycle of a startup, and some parts don't apply right now. Definitely something to refer back to now and again.
This is definitely something I was thinking about a lot of as I compiled these notes. To be fair, each lecture was a standalone by a different speaker, with different backgrounds, experiences and skills. I'm not surprised that there are some contradictions. Like other commenters have pointed out, YMMV depending on a gazillion unknown factors.
Hi there! I'm the OP. I'm not affiliated to YC, and I didn't even notice the change till you pointed it out. I haven't been contacted by an admin, so I'm just as in the dark as you are.
Just sharing the notes I compiled while watching the online sessions @ https://startupclass.samaltman.com/. I've been sitting on this for about half a year, and almost forgot I'd compiled it.
You're right. One of my motivations building this platform was to get people OUT of subreddits and discourse channels and get mixing in the open. You're right though. I'll be setting something up to pair with my newsletter for now.
Telescope was one of the first things I checked out. They appear largely deprecated though, and have moved on to their new framework, http://docs.vulcanjs.org/
Thanks for the suggestions! I've actually deployed on Heroku with Flask before, but only as an API server for back-end processing. It's the building out forum functionality and front-end I'm hesitant with.
