meta question:

Expecting this post is an "A/B Testing"

Q: Which group am I actually in now? Is this group "A" or "B" ?

:-)

Haha!! Excellent question. So this is our fourth round of testing messages. We didn't want to A/B on HN cause that kinda feels disingenuous! But we've definitely been crunching things like conversion rates.

(Edit: this comment is a stupid meta-meta-joke, please ignore :-)

Was “Excellent” or “Great” group A?

Exit: oh… that was the joke. I thought I was clever

Yes, one of those was group A

Ha!! Great question, so this is our fourth round of message testing. We didn't want to A/B directly on HN cause that feels kinda disingenuous, but we've definitely been crunching conversion rates and such.
