Correct me if i'm wrong but I think that is the goal of http://convore.com/

My guess is that his "filter" is phase cancellation, which is nothing new.

Disrupt online dating is something i'm trying to accomplish with http://cupick.com/ (I haven't officially launched it yet)

One of the issues I had with sites like Match or okCupid was gender bias. Men get few messages from women and women get overwhelmed with the messages from men. My solution to this was to add a moderator (the public) to recommend and filter potential matches and who you can message.

Facebook Connect "kriuq may post status messages, notes, photos, and videos to my Wall". Why is this necessary?

Nothing really specific to Django you can do. I guess you can disable USE_I18N and USE_I18N settings if you're not using them and disable middleware and context processors you're not using.

Other then that:

- Cache everything you can. (orm/query cache, template cache, proxy cache)

- Optimize queries you can't cache. (use django-debug-toolbar, django-devserver, or enable slow query logging in mysql to view them)

- If you have lots of joins, denormalize your model fields.

- Use queues and cron jobs for long running processes.

- Offload media to another server like s3.

- Add ram.

I love (er.. lust) the name. Any reason why you're not collecting email addresses? Having an email list you can blast out to on launch day will help you reach critical mass quicker, avoiding the chicken and egg issue all together.

So... lazy loading database queries and including partial templates?

So... you have a Kinect with no Xbox?

Meta or Irony? I'm not quite sure how to describe this.

Not true. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

What's wrong with using au.groupon.com?

They may want to change their DB username and password ASAP.

I can see their config in plain text.

Not till 10AM PST.

Some sites (possibly hn too) do not display cached pages to authenticated users. This could be the reason you see a decrease in response time compared to when you're logged in.

I'm standing. Now what?

You'd be right. It does not appear to be relevant. Though, since the op is looking for someone to write an obj-c lib for detection cracked apps my link is relevant.

They need to include 50-100 customers for the free developer plan. If I was bootstrapping a service, I wouldn't pay $99 a month for customers I don't have yet.

I couldn't help but notice Django's settings.py file. You should probably change your SECRET_KEY since the whole thing is clearly visible. From the looks of your blurry INSTALLED_APPS i'd say you are also using pinax.

Probably dcramer

Do you have any protection in place from brute forcing pass phrases? Since your pass phrase suggestions are simple english words, it would be rather quick to dictionary attack it. Also, why would I send someone a pass phrase that they'd have to select, copy, and paste vs. just click link? I can't submit a jot either. I get 404 and 403 (csrf issue) when submitted.

Just out of curiosity, was this created during the 2010 djangodash?

I believe you can submit and apply for all of your ideas. If YC happens to pick the idea you have no co-founder for, then i'm sure you'll be able to find someone with that very specific set of skills during YC.

You have nothing to lose so why wouldn't you try? I'm in the same position. I will be applying this round and my co-founder is more of an "advisor" and friend. He works for an existing YC company so I believe he wouldn't be eligible to become a founder without leaving his current job.

Novelty, but awesome. Will it make my beer explode though?

What a great way to promote your iTunes affiliate links. This is genius! It's useful to app developers and silently makes money.

You sure you don't have a userscript or plugin installed? I don't think this is something Google would ever do...

You could do something like David Wurtz - http://davidwurtz.com/ - with a blog on the side for more detailed information on the progress of your projects.
