8 pointsby anulmanabout 7 years ago
Site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cookformom.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cookformom.com</a><p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anulman&#x2F;cook-for-mom" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anulman&#x2F;cook-for-mom</a><p>Creator here . I&#x27;ve been working on a free, six-week, online cooking class to help beginner and novice chefs build skills, toward the goal of preparing a 3-course gourmet meal guaranteed to impress mom for Mother&#x27;s Day.<p>I appreciate that landing pages are generally frowned upon as Show HNs; if you feel compelled to downvote, I understand.<p>While I&#x27;m certainly hoping to recruit some cooks among us, I wanted to share this project because I want your feedback on this as a conversion tool, and I hope to share back any ideas or implementations you find interesting.<p>Some &quot;neat stuff&quot; you might appreciate:<p>- Though this is an Ember.js app, it loads _real_ quick due to a prebuilt index.html deployed (with all relevant assets) to Firebase CDN [1]<p>- There are nudges and triggers all over the place. An exit intent nudge gets registered as soon as you scroll past &quot;Menu&quot;. Try hovering over the nav bar before and after. This only works once, because we don&#x27;t want to annoy the user. [2]<p>- I set a consistent fingerprint across all analytics tools, using a lib espoused by adtech friends [3]<p>- If on Chrome, the parallax is responsive to resizes, supports variable height, _and_ is hecka performant—even in light of all of the listeners + analytics code. [4]<p>- The source for the welcome email is public too; it is generated with HEML [5]<p>Thanks HN!<p>[1] ember-cli-build.js#L13-L18<p>[2] app&#x2F;pods&#x2F;index&#x2F;nav-bar&#x2F;component.js#L35-L38<p>[3] app&#x2F;metrics-adapters&#x2F;segment.js#L23-L40<p>[4] app&#x2F;pods&#x2F;components&#x2F;parallax-container&#x2F;fluid&#x2F;component.js#L24-L39; I&#x27;m hoping to extend this to Safari &#x2F; Firefox too and have a halfway-working impl (they rely on odd DOM hacks and compute the transform differently); please message if you can help!<p>[5] heml&#x2F;welcome.heml; I plan to extend this into compiler tooling to better separate concerns &amp; reuse components, in order to generate the weeks&#x27; content
