Was aiming more towards some real ones :)

I don't have clear numbers on conversion rates before and after, prospects were from different segments and we kept changing our pricing and offer during that time to find the right fit so it's hard to measure. Before we brought him in we said we'll give him 3 months but it was clear we have a lot to learn and benefit after 3 weeks.

I wrote it on my spare time and based on my experience. Nobody proofread it and it's a takeaway for next time. I posted it on HN since I like HN, that's all.

Emails and everything sent to customers were always proofread by a native english speaker. I wrote this on my spare time but lesson learned for next time.

That's for employees, it's not the cap table, it's equity compensation. Where is the investors equity?

This is actually sort of a content ad for changeagain.me

Smart move by Changeagain to integrate with Google Analytics experiments since everyone uses GA but GA experiments is nearly impossible to use.

"untrusted" is the issue here, and trust is built over time. In the meanwhile you can use the library and implement the server side.

There is a level of trust needed. However, you can use this library, change the proxy url and implement the server side yourself.

It limits the thing you can do. This library allows you to easily get and display content from any external source.

OK, it is a trust issue. However you can use this library and change the proxy url to your own server and still get the benefit of the fact that you don't need to rewrite external requests and just use jQuery.

Regrading overwriting XMLHttpRequest, if it works - it works, and if it breaks it can be improved, this is why it is open source. It does not reroute your site traffic just your cross-origin site traffic, which practically does not exist without this library. Yes it can be used to do bad thing but also opens up the opportunity for mashups, external content integration, api calls and more.

You can only use JSOP and CROS with sites you have control over or are designed to behave and support external requests. It makes it very very limited!

It's just your cross-origin traffic, which is not possible without this library, everything else will behave exactly the same.

Why? remember your product will function exactly the same. It just makes more thing possible.

Yes it allows you to do back stuff. But it also allows great things as mashups, retrieving external content easily etc.

It's possible, we just make it easier. This library also make it seamless (you can still use jQuery.ajax). They can use this library and just change the proxy url.

It only goes through our servers if it's cross-origin. Normal http same-origin requests are left intact (and you can see it in the code). It's stated on the README but perhaps it should be more apparent.

I really liked http://newsycombinator.tomodo.me with the favicons posted by citricsquid (see below).

You are right, it posts to the proxy, not to news.ycombinator.com but this is how it works, it's a proxy.

This reply was posted using the HN mod, so you can see the proxy then posts to HN server.

Awesome app, it's all you need from FB.

We review the code itself and not just experiment with the modified site. If we have any doubts, we contact the developer.

Abusive mods are removed right away from our platform so you can feel safe :) .

Done using http://betterinternet.co

The main idea here is that it is a platform for modifying websites...

It is based on it but the content updates in real time. This is just one modified website, you can modify a different website or use a different JS plugin.

I think your'e right about the scrolling, although HN definitely deserves a new slicker UI. This link is more about creating a new UI/UX for an existing site and serving it under new URL. It was created using betterinternet.co (as you can see on the bottom right corner when you use this new style HN). Do you think you can create a better design? one that eventually people will use instead of the original?
