Are you aware that your site is vulnerable to XSS attacks? I mentioned it in a previous thread[1] and also on twitter[2] but it never got fixed. The attack pattern still works[3]. I can imagine you would like to ignore me but please, for the sake of piet, fix it as soon as possible.

No intention of ignoring you. It was fixed the other day, but it seems the fix isn't active due to us toying us around with a new feature/product that heavily plugs into search/querying. Should be gone soon enough. Thank you again for pointing it out.


Typewith is not funded by YC. It just uses some open source software created by a YC-funded co.


Mentioned that below. Though not YC funded, it's basically Etherpad and wanted to include it as a "YC" app. I'm emotionally tied to Etherpad, so yeah, subjective call.


My top-picks:

1. Dropbox 2. Wufoo 3. Mixpanel 4. Directed Edge 5. Cloudkick


FYI, there's a good chance we might be missing some apps. Let me know and I'll personally add them immediately.

I also kept TypeWith as a YC tag since it's basically Etherpad recreated.


You forgot to include reddit, which can help a startup build a community around their product. :)


Could you add Ninite.com (YC W08). We make setting up Windows machines painless. Free for personal use, $20/month for business. Thanks!


Under 280 Slides you might want to mention Cappuccino, their open source web framework; it's probably a lot more useful to startups than their presentation app.


The framework isn't a SaaS app, but we're going to go and tag Cappuccino apps. I will also link to Cappuccino from there. Great reminder for me to add Atlas though.


Heroku is categorized as 'Finance' -- is that applicable?


Thanks for the tip, we just just fixed it, and is now development.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
