Previous ideas: 1. Automated proffers io always profile pic selector and optimizer. Like scam your Facebook with permissions and pick out the best photo for LinkedIn, potentially enchanting and cropping Ali g the way. Terrible idea because consumers generally never pay and getting people’s attention to this is going to be far more expensive than the value I can give you.

2. Automated tests for “broken” front end based on how the side renders on various devices. Pretty sure a machine learning model can recognize broken design. I still think it’s a good idea but potentially a pretty complicated sell!

3. The rest I’ll redact because I’m still toying with doing them.

Now that's a pretty neat idea. I don't know about recognizing subjectively broken design, but recognizing discrepancies between screenshots seems quite doable. Could be a good thing to integrate into a test suite.
