Drat, kinda bummed about this acquisition (as a customer), but congrats to the RIQ team on a great exit.

I'm another Slate user -- looks like Hydra is a spiritual successor... I'll give it a go.

I've seen a couple products in this space lately, definitely makes a lot of sense. Great demo :)

Nice! As another company in email, I know how difficult this can be to build. We'll have something like this at sendwithus.com soon. Kudos to the CampaignMonitor team :)

Huge instacart user, was wondering what was happening now that Amazon and Google are both moving into the space. It's awesome to see that they're winning.

It's really cool to see how these forms (looking like a terminal) can actually act as a tailored signup form for a specific audience. An example, there are people to whom a facebook connect/login doesn't look scary, but to ma

This is awesome, looking at how we could use it at sendwithus to replace/augment our current support systems.

+1 for Clerky; faster and more concise replies than my "startup specialized" lawyers.

Hey dangersilv, Matt here, co-founder of sendwithus. Get in touch (Matt at sendwithus dot com) and I'm more than happy to have an honest conversation about what you're trying to do, and what the right fit is. I've told folks

Worth pointing out that our (sendwithus) js library for calculating all of this is open source: github.com/sendwithus/confidence

Just booked a flight I'd been putting off; the new experience is worlds better than other airlines, though it still has its issues. My favorite airline is still United; their website will let you get to the final billing page, and subm

This is pretty cool; we've put a lot of work into sendwithus to solve many of these same problems (inline css at send time, staging versions of templates, and multiple types of api keys). Kudos for having a README that actually makes s

Would it be within the YC wheel house to provide standard employee equity agreements (just like the YC note)?

Insurance on the moving is pretty interesting, though I'd worry about fraud eventually being an issue.

I met Sasan and Heidar at the hackathon where they first built TruckPlease. Neat concept that definitely solves a problem, and they're smart/friendly guys! Super curious what their plans are to monetize (it looks like TP is curren

Startups are difficult; conviction and passion for what you're doing is imperative.

Looks cool (like the Authy integration), but you might want to make the Guide a little more visible ( https://derivabit.com/guide ). That was the first thing I was looking for.

I've been using Povio for the last 3 months; pinging friends is incredibly fun, and the network effect it has is amazing. Povio is a great way to stay in touch with remote friends.

Hey Jimmy, I'm sorry to hear that was your experience. I don't know when you found us, but it did take us time to roll out our A/B testing; we never intended to string anyone along. If you're willing to chat offline abou

Some people seem to be missing that first screenshot; the landing page clearly started with "Start The Demo" ( http://sendwithus.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Sc... )

Perhaps if we were accepting pre-orders or requiring a credit card. A soft launch like this would be more comparable to a focus group for a traditional product launch.

This depends on your goal; in 24 hours, seeing 800 uniques and 100 signups was enough validation for us to take things to the next stage.

Interesting story Daniel -- there should be an "Optimizely for the button to nowhere" product!

by mrmch 13y ago
This is actually a good point -- the "button to nowhere" product is particularly valuable at an early stage. We're working on a followup story on how we do customer development/feedback with a established product.

Our experience was to the contrary. It's not shown in the blog post, but users were thanked for their feedback immediately. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive; people were excited that we were building something in this space.
