@amrith Hi Amrith, I consider it as a call to action that usual websites have. Although not of much importance but it makes users to hit that button using visuals is what I feel,

@g__patil i think what is being asked here, is what a/b testing did you do, to verify your claim that it actually worked, providing data of before and after

@balupton Hi Benjamin, To be frank this just came out yesterday and few writers started doing this in the past, even Mr. Quincy Larson, and another author wrote an article how to generate this at a basic level, these articles did receive lots of claps and I think that was because people were interested in having that in their articles too. This is the very reason that this was built and the above statement of mine, that's all. To answer A/B testing, nope we haven't done any of that kind. But I would like to do that. I and @s_omeal will try to figure out a way to do that. BTW we have these in my articles too (https://hackernoon.com/puppeteer...), I setup them up recently have to see what changes.

@amrith @g__patil shouldn't your website GET STARTED button have a gif above it too? would definitely add credibility to the method ;)

Thank you for that @dnurzynski. Few users have submitted wrong links, now I get what you are saying. It will be updated. Thanks a lot.

@igoruphere Hi Igor, Thanks a lot for showing your interest in Clappy. We have mentioned that the article you submit for free version should not be the one that is published under a publication. That's all, submit another link and you will get it for sure. Thanks a lot.

@dave_safley Hi Dave, You can check it out at https://evilhead.me

@gorkem_guresin Thanks a lot!! :)

@joshuasimenhoff Hi Josh, Its simple I believe it as a CTA to your medium articles. You place the GIF at the end of your article like one of our user has done here https://medium.com/finhaven-tech... . Pushing the readers to hit that clap & follow.

@cam_johnson95 Thank you.
