Useful collection of resources!
However, high quality application will not work if the product sucks. So, I'd put some disclaimer for ppl who expect to read all of materials and get into YC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't you want to put your collection on GitHub also? It will be simpler to get suggestions as Pull Requests, where everybody will see it. Here is my suggestion of application example by the company which is oriented on designers\developers, done by @helloiamvu:

👆 Other UX suggestion is to add labels with industries. For example, I would love to see only design\dev companies' applications, but I can't find out the right companies just by their names.
And it's good timing to share insight about applying to YC, as many folks who will be accepted at YC Startup School will try to apply farther.
Good luck!

@lisadziuba @helloiamvu Thanks a lot for your feedback! I will definitely add a bunch of these thoughts into the site. Let me know if you think of anything else. Putting industry labels is really important.

@lisadziuba @helloiamvu I added that post to our collection of sample applications. I also added a short description under the company names with a short description about what they do and their industry. Let me know if that helps!

@nevinjethmalani yes, that's better now. Small point, as I know, Avocode didn't get to YC
