What Hacker News says
7 sourcesWell, what about Genetify (https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/wiki)?
I tried it once and it was quite interesting... easy to setup and really easy to use.
Just my two cents...
In A static website generator in PythonFirst: I don't know what the app does. Not in technical terms, but what problem it solves for me. Imagine your ideal customer. Imagine his itch. And then imagine, that you have less then 5 seconds to tell him, that you solve his problem.
Even after reading the comments on HN, I do not know, if it mails me the reviews I wrote, or the reviews, that anybody wrote on my app.
If it is the 2nd, I could imagine a use-case, when I look at my workmates, who manage our apps. They might be users. But I would not tell them of this service, as I did not understand it.
Else:
- Sign-Up-Button(Call to action) below the fold.
- Get a lot more feedback on Design-Iterations from people outside (so the HN-Post was good)
- A|B-Test your Design (For example with Genetify: https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/wiki)
In What's Wrong With Our Front Page: 100% Bounce Rate. HELPhttp://genetify.com/demo/ is an interesting related js solution.

In 20 lines of code that beat A/B testing every timeGoing purely off of your boiled down description, this seems like a more advanced version of Genetify (https://github.com/gregdingle/genetify/wiki).
@noelwelsh - care to comment on now what you're doing at Untyped differs from what Genetify offers?
In Stop A/B Testing and Make Out like a BanditLooks really interesting. There is a slight problem with your URL. You need to drop the ' at the end.

In Getting started with split-testingFYI, I open-sourced the split-testing framework discussed on hacker news a couple weeks ago... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=376331

I'd love to hear anyone's feedback.
