It's really discouraging that not even your own started page doesn't support SSL...

Recently move a bigger webapp to AWS elasticbeanstalk, I had to add a few lines to redirect from http to https. We still have a long way to go.

In case of https://lonelypage.io the cert isn't for the correct domain....

You should let the user go through the entire process of creating the page before you ask for money. Then they have the extra desire of wanting their finished thing. (I started building a site and put in a form, only to be told that was a paid thing. Closed the whole thing and immediately came to write this.)

I would be so mad if I put in the effort to build everything only to be pay-walled at the end. Just, livid.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think google has just profiled you (and me, and everyone else on HN)... We go on web-dev related and business start up websites, and google is watching us.

Sadly no. The ads I get are largely for things I don't want. Occasionally they are good or interesting, but usually no. I wish more ad providers had a way to say "please show me more ads like this." Better yet, I wish there was one that had a box where I could just type random complaints about my life and over time it would show me ads for products that might be relevant.

Google says they explicitly don’t use web-browsing data for ad targeting. They don’t say that they don’t use web-browsing data to improve your experience with their various recommendation/prediction/autocomplete APIs. So there’s no guarantee that bad ad targeting implies YouTube doesn’t have a better profile on you.

Logojoy does this. It's incredibly effective I imagine.

I can't load the website. All I see is this :/ https://i.imgur.com/NONTuSs.jpg

Maybe activate js ?

I haven't disabled JS neither do i have any extension besides uBlock origin that would change the DOM.

Am I the only one having this problem? Because except this website I don't have trouble browsing any other.

P.S: I'm using Chrome Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I mean, you don't "spring it" on the user at the end. You say something like "try full features now for free! If you build something you like keep it for low low price of....."

It's an effective way of removing friction.
