Ask HN: What A/B testing or Feature Flag micro-SaaS product would you pay for?

2 pointsby koraganvor 3 Jahren1 comments

With Google Optimize being sunset, lots of bigger players in the A/B testing and/or Feature Flag space are trying to capitalize on their new potential customers.

From what I've heard here on HN, most of these tools are overpowered (and with prices to match) for the needs of non-enterprise apps.

I've started on a no-code page editor with a trivial A/B framework. Basically it's click your HTML element (any text or <img>) and modify it as you please. Then set a % chance the user will get the edited variant vs the original.

I'd like to eventually start selling this thing; and this is my attempt at "talk to your customers."

What is a low feature set tool I can build that brings outsized value for a much lower monthly price tag?

I worked on mobile apps that used feature toggles to safely, incrementally release features to our customers.

We always needed to be able to have different rollout percentages based on build version and environment: e.g release feature A to 10% for app version v1.2.34 on production, 100% on staging.

Another nice to have is have a feature enabled for all users who are logged in with email that end with @myexamplecompany.com.

Change history is convenient, e.g Tom changed the flag on Friday. Quite often, the UI need to be usable for both developers and non-devs (product owners, designers).

I used Firebase AB testing and Split.io for it.

Good luck, looking forward to seeing what you build.
