Widgetbook Cloud is a managed hosting solution for Widgetbook that allows you to run golden tests on every commit so that you can catch UI regressions before they reach production.

After submitting a PR for review, both you and the reviewer have no idea which UI changes were made. The reviewer has to do the following to make sure that everything works as excepted:
- Check out the PR locally.
- Run the app in the simulator or on desktop.
- Execute the required flow (e.g. authentication) to reach the desired screen to review.
- Test out the screen in different states (e.g. empty, error, loading, etc.) or different configurations (e.g. dark mode, different locales, etc.).
That process is time-consuming that most reviewers skip it, and just settle down for only reviewing the code. By skipping the UI review process, the risk of introducing UI regressions increases significantly.
Widgetbook Cloud can help you doing UI Reviews in your browser without the need to check out the PR locally or the need to write any code to test the UI. You can easily see all the changes made in the PR and test them in different states or configurations.
