Reviewer scorecard
“Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.”
“Self-hosted option with complete CI/CD and security scanning. The single-platform approach reduces tool sprawl.”
“Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.”
“If you need self-hosted git with built-in CI/CD, GitLab is the clear choice. The all-in-one approach saves integration headaches.”
“As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.”
“GitHub's ecosystem and Actions marketplace have won the mindshare battle. GitLab is strong for enterprise self-hosted.”
