My agency ( https://t.co/K4gQG01iGX) did the design for Zohranβs campaign. While I wish I played a part, it was all the masterful work of my partners, Aneesh and Phil. Having worked with these 2 for close to a decade, itβs no surprise they created what many consider (the most?)

Most visual testing tools donβt show you what users actually see. They re-render your app in a recreated environment -- and you end up debugging artifacts, not changes. I wrote about why I built Vizzly differently: https://t.co/9MDplMqLpU
