Preview environments: ship reviews, not screenshots

Preview environments are the single highest-leverage change most teams can make to their review process. Instead of asking a reviewer to read a diff and imagine the result, you hand them a real, running URL of the exact change — wired to its own database branch.

Why screenshots aren’t enough

A screenshot freezes one state of one viewport. Real bugs hide in the states nobody screenshots: the empty list, the slow network, the third item that wraps. A preview lets reviewers click through those states themselves, on the real build, before anything reaches production.

Make every PR shippable

On LaunchPad, every pull request gets an isolated environment automatically, complete with a fresh copy of your schema. Reviewers, designers, and even non-technical stakeholders can validate behavior without pulling the branch or running anything locally. When the PR merges, that same artifact is promoted to production — so what you reviewed is exactly what ships.
