I'd be curious to know what the other a/b testing tools are doing regarding this problem if anything.
I think you could possibly allow the user to copy the "fullUrl" and share it with others. This fullUrl will have all the AB tests in the query param, and when another user visits the url - he'll have all the same AB tests
google.com?835483558=A&gdfmgfmgd=A&5435848=B
Something like this
Agreed. It's usually noted in the URL, the metadata, or JS. All of which can be curled, processed, and diff-ed.
Right! That makes sense. I guess you still need some technical knowledge though.
