Try it. It mostly works but I think the way they manage memory is different or something complicated. We're essentially just constantly hammering an iframe for the preview. In early tests, I kept getting issues with it. I want to revisit in time and optimize that whole thing.
I killed it off right before launch actually. I got spooked by potential spam. I think you're right this is the move after I get through some launch stuff.
I actually spooked for launch and dialed things down.
The idea was for a user to skip the interface and just type a subdomain to get started: <whatever>.tips.io
All sites would start in a playground mode where no signup is required to get going.
But it would be timed and if you didn’t add an email progress would be lost and the site would self-delete.
For launch, I limited it to basically zero to work out bugs and spam. I will be reversing this but open to ideas to balance onboarding.
