dinky··on Applications Open for Winter 2013 YC Funding
Also don't be afraid of being persistent in getting feedback on your existing ideas, even if you are a solo founder.

It's probably next to impossible to get early feedback on a YC application but there's now one more way to turn impossible to possible: http://lookapinky.com

dinky··on Show HN: The shameless experiment
I realized what I want more is getting the favor granted, not (just) making it easier to ask for the favor.

There are issues related to expertise and power I don't have clear thoughts on yet.

The idea of searching for people that can grant a favor is helpful to think about, thanks. It can work when one does not necessarily need an expert.

What would you improve?
dinky··on Show HN: A path to what people want

What would you build instead to make this idea work?
dinky··on Show HN: The shameless experiment
I'm trying to make it easy to ask someone I don't know that well for a favor. I believe people don't ask for help often enough.

Could HN-ers provide feedback on this idea of making it more socially acceptable or easier to ask for favors?

I'll be happy to provide feedback to one of your ideas or to help with something you need in the best way I can.
