#2I built Birdy to help you optimize your Twitter profile with continual automated A/B testing!
Why? More Twitter followers. More website clicks.
I'm a huge fan of Twitter since I discovered the indie makers community. I wanted to create a product around this passion of mine, so I started experimenting with the Twitter API and I eventually landed on profile A/B testing as a cool problem to solve :).

#3Cool idea, looks very polished. I guess for this to work best, you need to be very consistent with putting out content to get a good baseline?
The Twitter maker community is exciting to be in right now. Lots of fun tools popping up (Saying this as a fellow bird-named tool creator: https://getbirdfeeder.com).

Exactly! You need to be active, because the stats are based on profile clicks, which are derived from your tweets.

It's the best community I've ever been a part of :O Birdfeeder looks nice :D

#5What a great, simple idea. Way to follow through and actually make it happen!
Random ideas:
* Pricing: you could tie pricing with the performance (pay $1 per extra followers that your best version is getting - cap at $X0).
* Marketing: use the twitter api to find accounts that need you the most. Probably businesses who tweet a lot with little engagement. You could target newly funded startups, maybe look at who's posting on product hunt etc.

#6Do this with the Apple App Store! “App Store Optimization” is a huge business, and something simple like this (with suggestions on what you should try - perhaps a premium feature?)

Hey, thanks :D

That's interesting, I never thought about this pricing model haha. I'll see if this makes sense. For example, you might get some followers from people that have not clicked on your profile (name hover or suggestions) (and there is no way of detecting this).

Good idea. I'm also thinking about reaching out to social media agencies. They might be interesting in a tool that will help their clients grow on Twitter :)

The only reason I built Birdy is because I'm totally a fan of the platform :D
I'm not so much a fan of the App Store platform.
As far as Twitter Profile A/B Testing goes, it is in my plans to add AI-based suggestions (based on the top performing profile versions) :)
