Do 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?) I’d sign up instantly

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) :)

go with what you know! easy to get distracted by shiny objects, stick with Twitter!

That is the plan Mike! And I'd rather have fun while building it :D

how many people are using this? why do they find it useful?

I have about 15 users. Because they want to optimize their profile and perfect the funnel that converts profile visitors into followers :D Or test out which profile converts to more clicks on their bio link.

If I’m understanding correctly, this switches your profile on some interval between A and B, whereas a proper A/B test will randomly bucket a user to experiment A or B.

Not that it matters - this solution is probably the right way to go without building something into Twitter itself - but the more data/stats oriented folks may be confused or irked by calling this “A/B testing”
