Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
