Reviewer scorecard
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
