I'm no lawyer, but the statement "to productize the tooling we started building at Twitter" is troublesome to me. Do you have some protection from Twitter/X making a IP claim against this? I.e., can you prove you scrapped "the tooling we started building at Twitter" and began fresh?

The idea transpired from some of the early tools at Twitter. The actual product has nothing in it that would be considered Twitter's IP afaik. A couple of other companies we spoke to use similar techniques to optimize copy testing. Good call out on the language though - we could have worded it better!

"Good call out on the language though - we could have worded it better!"

A little ironic that this company is all about wording it better :).

The fact that they recognize when it can be better is a positive sign that they will keep getting better.

Now, if they took a defensive position, trying to justify their non-ideal wording, that would be ironic.

> we could have worded it better!

An opportunity to dogfood your product!

It will also be fossilized in the HN database if they don't delete it very soon.
