This got me excited, but what I'm wondering is - how does it work? Once someone clicks the link, they go to a slightly modified page which has the retargeting pixel in the source code on the said page? So it's not technically the same URL as your website? Just wondering how you're pulling this off technically.

@avtarramsingh I had the same question. Here is the content of the page: https://gist.github.com/Theminij... @casinellig Seems like you trigger the redirect with javascript, which can produce problems with people that disabled Javascript in the browser (yes, they exist) or have window.location preventing addons/extensions.

@avtarramsingh @theminijohn You're right. From latest stats there's only about 0.2% of visitors who browse without javascript enabled (worldwide, if you focus say on the US it's even lower). For those who have it disabled we have a fallback that show them a clickable link that will get them to their destination.

@avtarramsingh @casinellig Sounds good. Question: Why don't you programmatically redirect them after 500 ms, instead of using js?

@avtarramsingh @theminijohn You mean with a meta header? Will look into pros/cons, might be a good idea!

Okay so I think this ain't affiliated with Medium in anyway so I think you should mention that below. A .tld with 'Medium' sounds so official. Great job @cassinellig, but do explicitly mention that please :)

@casinellig @ambonium Was also confused by the branding. Font choice on the homepage was probably the tipping point, appreciate you changing!

@casinellig @ambonium The branding is very much "medium-esque" and with the medium + tld i was equally confused. It appears that the change has already been made, as I saw it in the footer when I explored the site. Cool concept.

This does solve a problem, but it's the same solution as geni.us, clickmeter.com, and basically any other link shortening tool. I'd also say a huge value prop of Medium is the organic audience/distribution that's baked into the platform. This only retargets people who you've driven from other channels—which is also worth mentioning. Love the concept though!

@connorstweetin Thanks Connor! The sites you mentioned actually don't work with Facebook Pixel (as far as I'm aware). For example ClickMeter helps by letting you monitor / compare / optimize your marketing links, and showing a consolidated view with conversion rates etc. We don't do any of that. We add a Facebook Pixel so that you can instantly, and with zero coding, do Facebook ads retargeted to everyone who clicked on your links.

@connorstweetin @casinellig With Geniuslink (geni.us) we support any pixel firing including Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Unfortunately, we aren't alone in this either - https://blog.geni.us/2016/03/25/...

I love that you created a platform to retarget medium users. I am disgusted that you took Medium exact design, and branding of the the domain "Medium". You have a great idea! No need to rip off someone else branding and design. Not Dope

@dredurr hey man, thank you for your comment. Regarding the domain, the reason we chose it was to make the link between the USP of the product and the audience we're trying to serve easier to understand. On the design end, can you please help me understand a little more what made you think this is similar? I would really appreciate if you can give some specific examples (the more specific the more useful for us) to help us improve, since nobody on the team has a design background? We tried to do the best we can to come up with a minimal site as we know Medium audience has a minimal taste. Thanks in advance for the help! 🙌🏻

@casinellig The color scheme, font choice, and layout are exactly like medium. If I did not notice the "not affiliated with medium" on the bottom. I would have never noticed that it was not a medium product.
