Would any indie dev founders be interested in a tool that lets you A/B test your website/web app via git commits?

    https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/optimize has worked very well for us. Non developers are able to run A/B test and then only spend dev resources once they have proven the change will improve performance.

    I think Google launched an app that does exactly what you pitched. It allows you to A/B test your site to see which one converts better by adjust the CSS code I believe.

    This is an interesting idea and an easy way to do A/B testing. Would it work for every language?

    How do you picture this working? Not completely sure I understand.

      Say you want to test a new feature or piece of code against your existing user base. You'd deploy this commit to a "testing " branch, which then deploys to production. You then monitor this test against the baseline using some predefined metrics.

      All within a sleek web app. Thoughts?

        How would you display the different variations? Would this only work for JS apps (and you would provide a JS library to swap the frontend)? Or would you act as a hosting or routing service?
