Yeap. Sauce is great. It's a fundamentally different service, but complements ours quite well.

  I checked your profile briefly to see if this was your site. I wouldn't have posted a quasi-competitor if there was disclosure.

    Ahh, good point. I forgot to update my profile. Thanks for the reminder.

    Well, as said quasi-competitor, I don't mind the name drop. ;-)

      Thanks for the trial minutes of SL from PyCon, I still have mine and I'm having a hard time using them. :-( Most of what I want to test is internal and I don't have the political clout/intestinal fortitude to get it exposed enough for SL to see it.

        We do have a reverse ssh tunnel thing for that (aka "Sauce Tunnel"). I'd like to think that using it does not require having a strong intestine... But yanking this thread back to being about mogotest... Congrats on the launch, guys!

What other competitors does Mogo have? I don't ask to go elsewhere, I ask because coincidentally I decided this morning was the day for me to find a better solution to all the crap I've been tolerating for so long in my cross-browser compatibility work. Mogo was the absolute quickest to impress me and I'm curious if I've misevaluated the lot of them, or if I'm so trained to adore anything referred from HN. I need some perspective. nirvdrum, care to compare lists of "Web Testing" tools?

  Sure. I'm going to simplify things just because of space constraints, but I'll highlight what I think are the biggest differences. - browsershots.org: Free option (go to the back of the line), paid option (priority), but ultimately screenshots only. - Adobe Browserlab: Pricing not defined? It will be pay, but I don't think they've announced pricing. Single page only results. Just does screenshot comparisons. - Litmus App: I'm not sure if they're completely out of the space. They've been focusing on email render testing. Single page only results, but pretty slick UI. - browsera: Does some of the cross-browser issue detection (we'll be adding this soon, but it's not there yet), but feels clunky to use. Limited browser selection, but they said they're working on that. Doesn't do the general site issue detection we do. Sorry if that was an oversimplification. I'm not trying to misrepresent what the others are doing. Some do some things better than us now, but we're moving pretty quickly on our product, which we think is better in other ways. Primarily, we're amongst the fastest and easiest to set up & use.

    No apologies needed. That's is a solid summary. It also confirms my research. I appreciate it.
    - nirvdrum 16y ago
      Just to follow-up, we do have automated issue detection now. So, we're able to detect a whole class of rendering problems and report just the pages you should look at in the browsers that seem problematic.
