“The tools we use are the lens through which we view our products. We are building Luro to expand that lens so that teams can build together more effectively and with a unified sense of purpose.”

Some of my favorite views in Luro are the site-wide view of performance and accessibility metrics.
We don’t mean to replace humans/experts testing thoroughly, but dang — it’s good to get the low-hanging fruit out of the way.
