Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
