Heh - wow. I'd like to hear this story; is it a curebit founder? Or maybe a CL freelancer they hired...
I got a different homepage: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/533753/Screen%20Shot%202012-01-27%20... It's possible they are experimenting with the 37signals design to see if it has legs, then will release a more original incarnation?
DHH just tweeted that they actually serve some of the assets from the Highrise site. That's bad http://yfrog.com/mm5icqhj

Thus ensuring we will never do business with Curebit. That's lazy and unprofessional at best, even if you're A/B testing. Use Optimizely and host your own assets.

#15How lame is that. Jesus it's not hard to come up with your own design. Crackers.

So, these guys get YCombinator and other investors to give them $1.2M and they still have to rip off 37 signals' design.
I wonder which startup got rejected in their place.

In re the previous sub-comment about switching out the assets: I think some Ocean Marketing images are in order.

Personally, I don't think it's a big deal. The Curebits designer was obviously inspired by the Highrise design, but didn't copy it pixel-by-pixel. If it helps Curebits convert more customers then more power to them--it's not like they're stealing Highrise customers.
Linking to someone else's assets, however, is just wrong.
