Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.

80/100 · ship

End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.

45/100 · skip

Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.

Creator
80/100 · ship

Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.

Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.
