The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@dawgawel I wonder if this could be achieved through a careful branching model. You can configure tests to include any branches (and don't need to include master). Might there be a git workflow which could facilitate this?

@RyanTownsend @AndyDavies @indysigner @smashingconf All good points. Yeah this demo is very much focussed on how MVT can be run on @netlify.

I'll give some thought to a demo which includes the tagging.

@kelseyhightower You may be interested in @Netlify Functions. Dependencies are compiled into your functions and deployed to AWS for you automatically.

The intent is to radically simplify the provision and workflow of FaaS.

Let me know if you'd like access to the beta.

@RyanTownsend @AndyDavies @indysigner @smashingconf I agree totally... except about the need to avoid a deployment. When friction is sufficiently low, a deployment should be mundane.

Would it be of interest if I were to muddle up a demo of something that tries to make the analytics tagging simple as part of the process?

@AndyDavies @indysigner @smashingconf The cookie does nothing more than keep a user going back to the same branch for a given split test.

For measurements, you'd need to include suitably descriptive tagging in your analytics. A SSG could probably make light work of setting that up.

@tvanantwerp @NetlifyCMS You might be able to get some insight by chatting to the rather helpful community over at https://gitter.im/netlify/NetlifyCMS

@indysigner Yes! Traffic splitting right at the CDN.

I'd love to hear what @AndyDavies makes of this after his excellent session at @smashingconf where he talked about some of the performance hits of A/B testing which depend on client-side UI manipulation with JavaScript.

@charis @Netlify Got it. OK. I think I know what might be helpful for others in that situation.

@charis @Netlify Gotcha! Alright Dorkie, let me see what I can rustle up. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to cast your eyes over what I come up with see if I've helped answer the questions that came up for you when you first explored?

@charis @Netlify Can you expand on that a little? "Getting started" as in "from zero to CI deploys via git"? And what are you referring to when you say "building"?

Keen to help.

@charis Yay! Thanks. I find short videos help me too. I plan to make a handful more for various features on @Netlify. Mostly driven by what people ask me about and what I often find myself showing.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • February 26th 2018 replying to this from @DavidDarnes
@DavidDarnes Precisely. I should have mentioned that. Your analytics code would just need to distinguish between branches (since that's not in the URL) via a suitable tagging structure. Simple enough via branch builds and a static site generator.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • February 26th 2018 replying to this from @ChrisFerdinandi
@ChrisFerdinandi Yep! Since its job is to manage assets directly to your git repo, it doesn't depend on @Netlify. It needs the Github API. You could use it with some other CI which watches your repo for changes and triggers builds.

If you use Netlify Identity it needs to be on Netlify though.

A few people have asked me about how split-testing works in @Neltify. Happily, it is very quick to create and deploy different variants of your sites for A/B or Multi Variant testing.

Here's a quick look.

@fbnlsr @Netlify hmm. Odd. If you email support@netlify.com, the boffins there will be able to help you a little better than me.

@bibliocloud @Netlify aha. Ok. Just as long as you are aware. @algolia search seems to work beautifully other than that. I wonder if a wildcard redirect in your _redirects file might help hide this until resolved. Perhaps
