Hi Product Hunt!
Thanks for the opportunity to tell you about what we’re up to at HeadSpin. Thanks to the HeadSpin team for working tirelessly on our mission.
I started HeadSpin to help teams better collaborate on one goal: building their best digital experiences. What I noticed during my time as a mobile developer is there are many ways product teams could be more efficient, to work less and get better results. When a QA engineer finds a bug, it’s more efficient for me as a developer to be able to debug it on the spot on the test device than to try to reproduce it somewhere else. It’s better for me to proactively iterate with test builds on edges around the world before I launch than to wait for feedback from the app in some part of the world and firefight. I saw that the tests the QA team runs could collect much richer performance data, and we could collaborate with those same testing practices to quantify and track our performance engineering and reliability goals. Also if my colleague finds an issue in my product areas on a device on her desk, it’s much easier for me to just hop on in real time and debug than to file tickets – even if we’re in different time zones.
At HeadSpin we built a worldwide distributed platform that gives you device infrastructure, user experience analytics, and media endpoints in a way that enables your team to find more efficient ways to build together.
With HeadSpin Compass we packaged this up in a self-service way that everyone can try. We welcome the feedback from QA engineers, product engineers, performance and reliability engineers, and product managers. Each device and data capture has a URL that can be shared, with databases, dashboards and regression workers that help you sift through, target and share the data. You can connect your own devices or use devices from our global marketplace. There are APIs to allow multiple people to collaborate at the same time. Please reach out in the chat widget to connect at any time.
Happy building!
Best,
Brien
Co-founder of HeadSpin
Hey ProductHunt,
First of all, I would like to thank @kevin for hunting us here.
I am elated to announce the launch of our platform - Headspin Compass that was built for all the remote developers and development teams who always find it difficult to test the real-world conditions for their customers and reproduce the problems that might arise. You can run automated Selenium and Appium tests on our Global device infrastructure to perform cross-device, real user condition testing. This saves you from the pain and cost of maintaining the infrastructure across the world. We at Headspin strive to make this process of testing and debugging real user problems easy for all your developers.
We would love to have feedback from all the developers and product managers facing similar problems to try out our platform for free and give us candid feedback. We are constantly working to get more and more data centers so that we can help you provide flawless digital experiences to your customers and ship your products faster and more confidently.
I will be are around if you have any questions here.
Regards,
Gaurav.
