Submitted an update to the Chrome Web Store. Should appear soon. Could anyone on Ubuntu let me know if it worked please?

It does both. If a web-site wasn't submitted before, you can quickly submit it by clicking on the extension. So it works as a share bookmarklet too.

That's a bit complicated due to the lack of a real API.

It wasn't a surprise that most cancellation happen during the first three months. I just didn't expect the number to be so huge.

Yes, sure. Making them stick = eliminating the reasons why they leave.

Thanls a lot for taking your time to write this awesome comment! The thing is we have very little control over the checkout area, since it is hosted by our payment provider and we cannot run tests there. We are not happy about it and we wil

I think wording in the subject line is important, because it is the only thing a user sees. There are no other factors that affect whether he will open it or not.

#2 is totaly relevant to our Macro Recorder app. Macro Recorder is really popular and most of the visitors are already "pre-sold". They don't care about the landing page. We used to run tests on that page, because it has 1k d

I'm sure, everyone here would love to hear what's wrong with it. No, really, if you do that for a living, you most certanly have something to add to the discussion.

Alright, that was a bold statement on my side. That's true for 99.9% of the companies, not 100%. Again, most of us don't have enough traffic to make successful buton color tests.

Yes, but those things are impossible to track. If metrics changed weeks later, there is no way of knowing that it was caused by a test you run earlier.

Same principle applies to copy, especially to microcopy. If you change a couple of words in a headline, it rarely makes a difference.

Those things happened (and still happen) a lot to us. At first we were all excited when there was a significant difference between alternatives, but now I just assume that something is wrong by default.

Yes, maybe we didn't have enough motivation because of lack of feedback. In fact we did have the live demo planed, but it seemed like an unimportant feature. We really should put a little more effort into this project.

Thanks for the feedback. We really thought of at as an MVP from the beginning and put up a website in one day and spent the rest of the time on the backend. Maybe you're right and that's the reason why we're not seeing any demand.

We've launched http://heattest.com/ two months ago. It's an app for heatmap analytics, which was a pretty hardcore to develop. We've spent a lot of time to make the algorithm really good and reliable, but so far we have like 3 sign ups in
