I just mean I don’t see as many websites using d3 as I’d expect given how amazing it is

I remember seeing your Obama 2013 budget article and being giddy. I just wish I saw more of that.

It’s incredible that these were created almost 10 years ago and yet so little of the internet uses d3 or similar interactivity these days.

I bought aistockphotos.com when I first saw GANs starting to work but never pursued it myself.

I wonder if they or someone else wants to buy it?

We did YC W22 and did not sell to any YC companies but YC did really help with sales.

You’re overestimating the magnitude and importance of selling inside the YC network.
