I built a tool that turns any URL into a full Playwright test suite — $0 to launch, just went live

Hey IH 👋

I just launched AegisRunner and wanted to share the journey.

The problem I kept hitting:
Every project I worked on had the same gap — no test coverage. Writing Playwright scripts took forever. Record-and-replay tools broke constantly. And hiring QA wasn't an option as a solo dev.

I kept thinking: why can't a tool just look at my site and figure out what to test?

What I built:
AegisRunner takes a URL, autonomously crawls the entire site (pages, forms, buttons, dynamic states), and uses AI to generate a complete Playwright test suite. On the same crawl, it audits every page for accessibility, SEO, security, and performance.

You get standard .spec.ts files — no vendor lock-in, no proprietary format. Download them, drop them in your repo, run in CI.

Business model:

• Free: 1 project, 10 pages

• Starter: $29/mo

• Pro: $79/mo

• Business: $199/mo

Where I'm at:

• Just launched on Product Hunt

• Listed on SaaSHub

• 3 signups so far (1 organic, rest are test accounts)

• $0 revenue

• Solo founder, bootstrapped

What I've learned so far:

1. Building the product was the easy part. Getting people to try it is hard.

2. Reddit spam filters are brutal for new accounts posting links.

3. A free scan on the homepage converts better than any landing page copy.

4. The "regression testing" positioning confused people — "web testing" resonates more.

Would love feedback on the product, the positioning, or the pricing. If you have a site you want tested, the free scan takes about 2 minutes: aegisrunner.com

Happy to answer anything about the tech, the business, or the solo founder grind.
