Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
