Ask HN: How many times have you applied to YC? Are you still working on idea?

I have built a design system builder concept that can generate code as well. It's called ui-editor, you can check it out here https://github.com/imvetri/ui-editor.

Design to code will increase productivity and revolutionary bridging gap between designer and developer. I'm writing to you if you think there would be an opportunity to experiment my concept at your organization.

With design system builder concept in place, it can be integrated with a open source collaborative whiteboard project called excalidraw, which can also be used as a prototyping tool.

I add features to it as I get ideas, last year I applied to YC just like that, but didnt get selected.

5 times, (first was a late app) have done $200K in revenue since march 2022. I am older (35) and a technical founder, so this time I really focused on just the business mechanics and Ive been REALLY slow in building the product side of it (we're doing it pretty much manually right now) never heard back. I feel like its almost a ritual to just apply now and show the progress (which has been pretty fun - the first time I applied we made our first $5K and it was just me and my first employee) - now we're like 11 people and have done 200K.

I do want to get in, dont get me wrong, it would accelerate the idea like crazy and I genuinely think I am the perfect founder for what YC was built for, but at the same time its kind of funny that Im OK with not getting in
