Reviewer scorecard

Builder
45/100 · skip

Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.

80/100 · ship

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

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.

45/100 · skip

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

Creator

The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.

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