This is really cool! I’ve seen a few people built this exact thing over the years. They’ve all shut it down after YC asked them to. I’m sure they’ve asked you too by now. Will this stay up?

But this isn't authorized by YC, and you didn't license the right to use "YC" in the product name, did you?

it is not, yes. Reached out to YC before but no response Either way I am fan of YC as you can see and if they come and want the software - I’m all in to give it to them. Also I don’t plan to monetize the producr

Congratulations on the launch. I was checking the hiring section and noticed one broken link.

When I clicked the Manager, Revenue Accounting job card, it opened a 404 File Not Found page instead of the job/application page.
