Opening this on desktop.. I'm not reading any of this.
Glancing in more I see react-native mentioned, and expo+expo go mentioned, but like... it's been proven time and time again that Hacker News isn't your ideal feedback loop (ie: Dropbox, AirBNB).
Why make 4 paragraphs of text when you could just say:
- We obliterated X problem: (link)
- We demonstrate why that problem is significant here: (public link or private deck)
- We are growing at X->(timeframe or whatever impressive metric)
However with the Multi-armed bandit approach it does make sense to re-consider that since it's a continuous optimization problem and the overall average conversion rate would be higher.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. This is a first pass implementation, but I agree that more thought should be put into the cutoff threshold, specifically for when there are only initially 2 (or maybe 3) variations.
Interacting with the map should hide the top and make the only thing scrollable in the viewport the map (with the "Your Alias" bar fixed at the top). Scrolling down causes you to zoom out when your mouse is over the map, which is a really bad experience.
When you scroll down, maybe the "Your Alias" bar has the BitBar logo on the left, and a metro-picker dropdown on the right. This would make the usability a lot cleaner, because it's hard to zoom into a city if you accidentally click on a bar, which slides up the Drink Picker.
There should also be a "Cancel" on the Drink Picker, that doesn't require you to click on the map, because clicking on the map puts the body scrollTop to 0.
The map, business logo, and people icons just help illustrate the feature. Volume and other value related benefits are communicated elsewhere in the page content, but aren't really additive to the blog post.
We're not creating another identity for you. There aren't any profiles, it's simply a utility. I agree the messaging could be cleaner and I'll rework some of it when I have time later today, but we dont really need your email or a password for anything so there's little reason to require it other than being the norm.
More context would be great (browser, page you were on, page you were redirected to). I think I uncovered the problem so you'll need to clear your cookies. Let me know, thanks!
We'd love to do that but the data isn't readily available by scraping. We could continuously fetch the parent_id post until we reach the root story, but that would result in a lot of extra curl requests.. V2 : )
