zeppelin_head··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
Thanks for that info Ted. Anyway, the timing seems like too much coincidence. I didn't want to imply that namecheap was at fault here, I don't really know how the domain lookups are implemented.
zeppelin_head··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
Something similar happened to me while buying a domain for my company abtesting.ai using namecheap.

I was trying to decide between abtesting.ai and abtest.ai (both were free while checking). Luckily I decided to go with abtesting.ai and got the domain right away. A week after that I decided that it may be a good idea to buy abtest.ai anyway so someone else wouldn't try to impersonate our company. However, when I checked again the domain was already sold...

zeppelin_head··on Show HN: Abtesting.ai – Optimize your landing page for conversions using AI
Hi HN!

I'm Rodrigo from ABtesting.ai and I wanted to show you our product. It's still in a very early stage, we have been building it up as a side project over the last year or so. The main idea is to lower the barrier of entry to do A/B testing on landing pages.

The product works as follow: 1 - You enter your URL and create a few variations of your title, copy and call to action. The possible combinations of these variations can be very big. 2 - We create a first experiment with some of the variations and run it using a multi-armed bandit approach. 3 - Once the experiment reaches statistical significance, we take the variations that worked best and use an evolutionary algorithm to mix them up and mutate them to run the next batch. 4 - Run a new experiment and repeat this process until finding the combination that maximizes conversions.

Since we use a multi-armed bandit algorithm, it's unlikely that you will get a worse performance than if you just left your landing as is.

I know our product is oriented towards a marketing audience but I would love to have some feedback on the technical side :)
