Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
