Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
