All scripts are on Cloudfront except for when someone shares a YouTube video or Twitter tweet. Google Analytics and Typekit are the only third-party scripts that are always loaded. I do need to add UI to allow users to disable these.

Great adds for YC. I've worked for Dalton and can attest that he is one of the best product minds around — a real visionary. Psychology and systems thinking are some of the last uncommodotized tools in this industry and he has them.
