even the art assets are named the same -- not to mention the html structure, etc.



Oh, it's even better than that. If you look at the cloudemailapp source code, the client testimonials list from the mailgun source is there, just commented out:

Line 188:

  <!--<h2>
  Customers 
    <a href="customers/index.html" class="btn">case studies</a>
  </h2>

  <div class="paper customers">
    <div class="stage1">
      <img src="static/img/logos/yc.png" alt="YC" />
      <img src="static/img/logos/uservoice.png" alt="Uservoice" />
      <img src="static/img/logos/colourlovers.png" alt="Colorlovers" />
      <img src="static/img/logos/ft.png" alt="FT" />
      <img src="static/img/logos/everyblock.png" alt="everyblock" />
    </div>
  </div>-->
They also are using the exact same generated Optimizely JS file on line 9.

What's really shocking is this doesn't seem like just a copy of the site -- it's like a copy of the entire product, which is really amazing. I have to wonder if it even works...


they're even loading mailgun's javascript from CDN:

mailgun:

    <head>
      <script src="https://cdn.optimizely.com/js/32694127.js"></script>
      <title>Mailgun: No contracts, cancel anytime</title>
cloudemailapp:

    <head>
      <script src="https://cdn.optimizely.com/js/32694127.js"></script>
      <title>CloudEmailApp: No contracts, cancel anytime</title>


if i was mailgun, i'd be updating that script file to detect the domain and forward visitors to mailgun.net
