Notif - Creates a social FOMO to instantly multiply your leads

@jpamorgan show us ..... proof. 😬 sorry I had to

@jpamorgan @swetzequity Also looks like they swooped the "logo" from this blog post unless the writer here also worked on this https://blog.prototypr.io/facebo... Also, it looks like John was talking about the notification thing in the bottom left on both sites. They're shockingly similar.

@jpamorgan that's exactly what I thought. I wish I jumped in here sooner and said something.

@jpamorgan It's common that every developer name contact related fields like `fname`, `firstname` or `first_name`. This doesn't mean it was copied from another developer. So does the Javascript code that every site gives to embed in others sites. They look similar. But that doesn't mean they are copied. As a CTO, you should have known better before mAking such tall claims

@jpamorgan @raajesh_rp Unfortunately, this isn't the case here though, the design (along with class names of elements) for the notifications are literally the same besides some small copy in it. I'm all for competition, but quite literally copying your competitor isn't right.

Hey @palash76 where did you get the design for your exciting new tool? Looks shockingly similar to our software https://useproof.com that we launched 6 months ago... :)

@dave_rogenmoser Hi Dave, we have multiple designs for the notification. The one displayed is a standard UI design component. :-)

@dave_rogenmoser @palash76 It's our EXACT design AND code. You even left our variable names in tact in the code.

@dave_rogenmoser @palash76 It's pretty shocking to see people completely rip code like this and call it their own.

@ria Your reputation could be hurt by posting an exact copy of someone else's work. @palash76 hasn't addressed the issue and I'll stand down if I'm wrong, but he copied the exact design. Tim, please talk with @palash76. There are better ways to work.

@venkatasoujanya Hope you are talking on the lighter side of things. :-) We are allowing our customers to hack the social FOMO.. we sympathize with CSD people, not exploit them.

@palash76 Dude, you're using the term "FOMO" because Justin's company is called FOMO and it does the same thing. You're using the look of Proof. The people you're exploiting are other makers. You can create something similar. Why copy?

@andrewwarner FOMO is a generic terminology for the behaviour. Why do you think we are copying?

@palash76 you mean it's happenstance that you used your competitor's name in your description? You didn't mean to do it?

@andrewwarner you stick to blogging. There are things beyond your grasp.

@raajesh_rp This is in fact so true.

@raajesh_rp @palash76 Yeah, it's a blatant copy of Proof's design.

@andrewwarner Does that mean Proof's code is not secure at all?

@jpvalery you guys ripped off usefomo. Could not be creative enough to even use a unique domain. Copied them and created useproof..haha..thanks for entertaining the community..you should get a special mention in PH.

@palash76 I'm not affiliated with any of these companies. I'm just sad to see your agressive behavior and lack of diplomacy, especially in light of what seems to be you just copying everything from another company. Rather than trying to calm things down, you just taunt and insult other users. So ultimately rather than explaining why your product is superior or more innovative, you just act obnoxious. Not the best course of action IMHO 🤦‍♂️

@jpvalery surprisingly you find only my comments obnoxious! Is that your neutral stand? And what makes you believe that Notif is a copy of proof? Just because couple of proof founders and sympathizers are being called in to make that claim? Did you do your diligence before commenting or taking a side? If you did, then let the world know what you found. When you have already jumped into the water, don't retract and pretend to be neutral. Ask proof first how can they copy usefomo before you ask Notif. And notif is just 10% of the marketing automation suite from Retainly. Do you really think there is any competition? You choose to be blind towards the obvious blaming strategy of proof and even pass a judgement that we are not fit for this community. We're you expecting kind words from me? Don't be naive.

@jpvalery where is your diplomacy in declaring that we are not worth of this community?.who made you the judge? practice what you preach..and stop making a fool of yourself. You want a war? I will give you one you have never dreamed of.

No judgments :) Notif keeps rolling your last 10 signups. So if you don't have new sign ups, "it will keep rolling the old ones. As for the comparison with Proof, Notif comes integrated with a full stack marketing automation platform which no other competitor can offer. "

@raajesh_rp They seem to have copied the look and feel of a competing service. If they did, would you really want them on your site?

@niteshmanav thanks Nitesh for bringing in a reference point. Helps customers to decide faster.

@mikee_shattuck If by "heating up" you mean these guys copied proof fast, then yeah. They didn't even change the look.

@mikee_shattuck the competition is unable to digest a better product. Their comments are so reckless that I don't even consider replying. The customer is the judge and jury. :-)

@andrewwarner https://www.codingbutler.com/cre... the option

Hey @palash76 fyi, when you guys copied our code from https://useproof.com you forgot to remove all our customer's names from the notifications... Here's an example from your code - http://d.pr/i/RUQEvp Also, here's a side by side of our code and yours. Look familiar? - http://d.pr/i/11cMW7 Anyway, just thought I'd let you know, so you can stop telling everyone it's built from scratch and stuff.

@dave_rogenmoser Notif's customer names are dynamic, not fake static ones like proof. Anyway, you guys are born losers, which you have proved yourselves. Happy that your customers are now moving to Notif. If this does embarrass you and your team enough, you can stop telling everyone that Notif copied you. Or you can continue your foot in mouth disease.

@yo We are actually discovering competition from you all :-). We first built Retainly marketing automation and discovered that our tracking script had become extremely powerful. While the tracking was being used for engaging leads and customers, we said, "why not use it to generate more leads too?" That was our inspiration, and we started with the objective to build something as a part of Retainly but which can give immediate results to our customers. We are happy that our customers have started multiplying their leads in a very short span.

@palash76 very cool. good work!

Dude, at this point only two companies were mentioned: Proof and Recently. How could you not known about Proof before. Your widget looks just like theirs.
