True that, it made everything so clear. After filling it up I knew what was the "exact" problem I was trying to solve.

What people are on-board with me, what value they are gonna bring in.

Where do we stand. It really makes everything transparent and brings you to the ground.

Totally on point, but they dont provide "space" for their businesses.

You know, not everybody wants to give away their plans for free. Nor does everyday wat to cut somebody else in on the action.

The whole point of the article is that you use the application as an exercise, without actually submitting it.

Some HTML forms send every character you type as you type them.

The way to check for that is view source. In Chrome: view-source:http://news.ycombinator.com/w2011form. No JS. Does YC or HN even use JS?

When you are logged, only the upvotes and downvotes in HN use JS.

Obviously.

You can simply copy the questions to your own text editor or word processor - if you weren't going to submit the application in the first place, why even fill it out online?
