Unfortunately, you can't take an early result to the bank. +31% after 1000 visits may be utterly meaningless. I've seen this time and time again in tests.

Great article, and I have quoted it in my latest blogpost: 5 reasons why you should be skeptical about A/B testing http://kaizen-ux.com/ab-tes...
Unfortunately I can't agree with using A/B tests without support from at least lab based or guerrilla UX testing, but you have shown impressive results.
Once again, well written article congratulations.

Hi, the txt file is not longer available. Did you already know that you can press on your keyboard 'd' than 't' for today to switch GA to the current day?:-) You can also press 'y' for yesterday.

A couple of these companies have been taken over by large software companies and their products are shown within the corporate web site, which is nowhere near as good as the original - shame

This is very insightful and as a affiliate marketer it really helps to stay ahead of the pack in the marketing industry.Sports betting is pretty broad and competitive in nature so,affiliates take on the challenge.Sports Betting in South Africa has taken a new step...http://www.ibet.co.nf

I suggest you change your logo. It makes you look amateur and therefore slightly untrustworthy.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your work.
My problem is that I need the calendar view vertical - the commen way - and I tried to modify the css style but that didn't work. What do I have to do to change the view from horizontal to vertical?
Thanks

Great list Dan,

These are all good sources of inspiration for me when I kickoff a new project with a new SAAS client. Box.com is also a good one that you may want to check out.

Hello,

I've been also using Mustache and ICanHaz in client-side apps for months and decided to give Dust a try.

The main reasons why I started searching for a better solution than ICanHaz+Mustache are :
- As you noticed, managing multiple templates in a big index.html is messy and slow with ICanHaz.
- Too logicless : you cannot implement basic logic in the templates, but in the data object - as a javascript code - which is not very convenient when you want to use fetched JSON data "as they are".

The main reasons why I chose Dust :
- You can implement logic in the templates
- Performance, as of Linkedin team's benchmark
- Compiled templates for a lighter and cleaner code
- I believe Dust will be maintained for a while since Linkedin is using is it.

The lack of documentation for purely client-side apps drove me to your post and your duster.js : this is definitely the tool that were missing there.

Very handy, thanks for sharing !

Cheers.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing! I noticed on your current iteration (August, 2012), your red button has again been relabeled, this time as "Start your free logbook". I'm sure that button text is even more effective than the one you mentioned in this post. Great job.

The screenshot looks awesome, but every time I try to look at the demo, I'm redirected to a page about pasta... Not "expected behaviour". Should I file it as a bug on github? Kidding, of course. But yeah, seeing a live demo would be really cool. Thanks!

hi Dan - very useful comments - I am using AirBnB for the first time. A slightly different problem - I am booking 3 months ahead for a 3 week trip to Toronto. If I book now, I have to pay now and then am immediately liable to a 50% cancellation fee - I think that is totally unrealistic in the time-frame and there ought to be a scale of cancellation charges increasing as the date gets nearer. laura (Athens, Greece)
