Launch HN: Jika (YC S20) – Price A/B Testing for Shopify

I'm incredibly disappointed this was the top comment. Instead of asking whatever it is you want to know in an optimistic way, you just threw a random comment that with decent chance just makes the OP feel worse.

For starters, a really simple question you could have asked that may update your belief of how weird it is they got into YC: "How much money are they making and how much are they growing per week?"

I appreciate the compassionate nature of your comment, but anecdotally I can very much attest to this thought being the first thing through my mind when I read the post title.

This question sitting at the top further validates that other people are wondering it, so disappointing as it may be - people are curious!

I do think that an A/B testing platform can be a great business, and making any business work is for sure an achievement.

I just had the impression that YC tries to back more "ambitious" or "important" businesses, but may be I'm wrong about that.

ambition or "importance" don't always manifest in the early stages of a startup (they probably usually don't). Shopify started as a snowboard selling company and I'm sure that the founders here pitched YC a larger vision that was appreciated.
