I just wanted to say that this personal blog design and format is beautiful

this could turn hare krishna into a bad boy

where did you go instead? i was halfway through uploading all my stuff to Better

this is very valuable data for any advertiser to use for targeting

like this guy making a 16x16 recreation of Sonic on pico-8 https://twitter.com/troypicol

The problem is that nobody has come up with a snappy enough alternative yet. The Good Friday Agreement uses "these islands", I think people find "Britain and Ireland" to be too long winded, what does that leave us with?

Edit: Actually "Anglo-Celtic Isles" works i suppose

Yes the linked article is the opinion of one person. One person with a proven track record of maximising the conversions from landing page visits.

- there is far too much detailed copy above the fold - the copy around the call to action is too vague - there is no example of "what you have now without migadu" versus "with migadu"

in summary it makes it very hard to quickly identify the problem it solves and illustrate how migadu fixes it.

take a look at this article: https://blog.roastmylandingpage.com/landing-page-roasts/

this is the worst landing page i have ever seen for a SaaS product

thank you! somebody gets it!

I don't see the point in blocking utm_ query string variables? they don't give up any personal information about you, they just help inform the landing site about which channels of marketing are working more effectively than others. This isn't about personal data, removing the UTM codes isnt helping anybody, it just means that the sites don't know where best to spend their money on marketing and ultimately results in seeing more ads in more irrelevant contexts in the future.

with your definitions in mind, i think mining is a lot more appropriate, haha

yes. if you are only going to be working with CSV files then this is overkill

your problem is that you gave them your email address, not that they have tracking pixels in their emails

this guy gets it! the thing which annoys me the most about hacker news comments is the pedantry: "how about stop trying to kill technology you don't like" shhhhh

my friend... developers are not allowed in

all of these alternatives which people are posting: simpleanalytics.com plausible.io are not free, which is the main reason people use Google Analytics

unrelated, but what beer-brewing book includes this sort of information?

they don't "ban" domains based on this policy. they just don't make their cookies available to the cross origin requests as per the ITP browser changes: https://clearcode.cc/blog/intelligent-tracking-prevention/#I...

so Firefox and Chrome are making changes which basically limit the effectiveness of this technique.

what does it cost you to keep this up and running?

Anybody else notice how that Scottish male reference voice sounds considerably more English in the synthesized versions.

love this free font, also an honorable mention to Optician Sans: https://optician-sans.com/ which is a free font based on the classic eye test letter cards from opticians offices.

I have not been this impressed for quite some time.

what happened to Harry H Corbett?

While I realise this is essentially marketing for Nicepage, the article is very good. The templates here https://nicepage.com/templates are mainly informative sites like portfolios, restaurants, dental practises etc.. It is going to be a while before the typical functional ecommerce sites we use use everyday adopt a more creative approach. It is just too much of a risk to present a user with an unusual design and a learning curve. When you just want users to part with their cash, the site needs to be as predictable as possible.

pisses me of so much with car parts. I don't want my floor mats to say WeatherTech on them! they are just floor mats, i don't want to know about them.

i never miss an opportunity to link to this wonderful startup generator http://tiffzhang.com/startup/

Surprised that he doesn't mention Reddit, where the lost communities he described certainly do exist and thrive.

I'm pretty sure a company like Coinbase which is worth $1.6 Billion did their due diligence on the legalities.
