Parrot QA

The easiest way to test web app features.

I love iterating on products quickly, but I hate maintaining selenium tests and grids. So I needed a way to build full-stack integration tests without hardcoding DOM selectors and writing brittle test code.

Heroku Add-On Alpha

I'm launching a Heroku Add-On for Parrot. It's basically the same as our web app, except it has a single sign-on integration with Heroku (so that you can easily create and sign into projects from within the Heroku dashboard). I need some help alpha testing, so ping me if you want to be an alpha tester and I'll give you free Parrot for a year!

First Customer!

After almost 2 years of building, pivoting, and testing various channels, we acquired our first paying customer via Facebook ads, with a CPA of around $1k. The LTV on that customer is still unclear, but I'm cautiously optimistic we'll make that money back!

The Pivot

The first iteration of Parrot required using a Chrome Extension to record actions. This meant that customers had to come to our site, sign up, install a Chrome Extension, sign into it, go to their site, record doing something, come back to our site, and then set up tests on that recording. Needles to say, the funnel was way too complex. Also - our prices started at $249/mo. We pivoted downmarket by simplifying our product (replacing the Chrome Extension with functionality in our web app), and lowering our prices.
