What do you think about adding a grade to each experience?

Are you going to track these things over time? It would be pretty cool to see how things change along with an analysis of why they changed stuff. NB Really good job - I found this quite fascinating.

Very nice, great work! Some FYIs: On my iphone Safari browser, I found the next/prev buttons on the viewer to be very small targets. Also, before I noticed them, I tried swiping horizontally on the slide itself, but this triggers some weird zoom behavior. Lastly, it's hard to see the details of the slides when using this device/browser. Again, congrats on creating a great resource!

Any chance you could bring down the size of the screenshots you take? Most people don't have huge screens like you do, so I feel like I'm not seeing the typical UX. For instance, a lot of the buttons on these screens are very extremely pushed to the side when they're in the corners. Look at the Shopify one specifically. And while yes, some users will have screens that huge and designers will have to deal with that ed…

That said, the fact that it skews educational over salesy is very intentional -- I'd much rather have you find it to be a phenomenal resource and come back over and over (and then buy the book) than I would have it try to sell you hard on the first visit, which is probably unlikely to be optimal timing. To that point, I didn't see you mention signing up for the mailing list or not, but if you did, it's "working" as intended for visit one!
But yeah, overall, you're quite right to turn my own advice back on me!
Just read the Optimizely tear down. Excellent. Have bookmarked and will buy the book shortly :)

> There's no call to action at all There's a giant blue button that says Check out the Book
The article page linked to from HN is "http://www.useronboard.com/onboarding-teardowns/", which has zero calls to action on it natively. If I go back to home, yes, I see the button, below the fold, presumably it exists on other pages as well, but it is definitely not on the linked page, which had me questioning why I couldn't find it (and spending an inordinately long time looking for it).
