  This is user experience design in its highest form, born out of an intimate understanding of the target customer. Very nice to see it showcased here. The lack of tracking scripts is telling. Adding them would clearly be detrimental to performance, and it’s dubious whether any insights could be so obtained. Always good to remember that observation changes the thing observed.

  I will say, one thing I do wish it had was the ability to configure the test size. Everything is so tiny and I feel like I have to squint. I wonder how they arrived at default 10.5pt font.
