Using DemoTape for PR reviews
Why
PR reviews miss real issues because no one actually runs the code. DemoTape turns a pull request into a live app review so someone can click through the change instead of imagining it from the diff.
How
npx @demotape.dev/cli --prDemoTape looks for the current PR, finds or starts your app, copies a reviewer-ready comment, and keeps the session open so you can watch the replay later.
Example
