Ask HN: Should I create "Optimizely for Mobile apps"?

Why not you just consider or consult any iPhone application development company. I hope the below link would give more detailed knowledge for marketing your app from the initial stage. Also if possible get connected to some developers.

This is a valid question and potentially great opportunity. But, I would suggest asking it on other forums as well, especially marketer focused ones, because those are your potential customers. You might get a better response and more interest. I would also suggest to make it more marketing focused, marketers won't care about the framework and how it is deployed.
There was at one point - Clutch (http://clutchio.github.io/) did it and then got acquired by Twitter. They've open sourced everything though (https://github.com/clutchio), maybe you can start researching from there.
Clutch was great! I've used it myself, but you had to create the A/B tests while coding.
I'm going for a tool that lets you define the test after it was coded. Is that a big enough differentiator?

AFAIK, Artisan http://useartisan.com/ does that!?
Thanks. I didn't know them. Pretty impressive.
I wonder if this is something app developers/product-managers need?
I'm a developer of several iPhone apps and I created a framework for myself that allows me to control my apps from a central dashboard.
It allows me to change texts, colors, sizes, buttons and test different variations to see what works. I do all this without requiring to plan these tests upfront. That's why I think it's similar to Optimizely.
I'm planning to realease this as a SaaS under aircontrol.io and I wanted to know if there's a market for it.
Any tips for going forward?
