This looks really great. The integration with Github and CircleCI makes it a very attractive option for us as it would slot right in to our existing workflows.

#22Percy.io seems somewhat similar to BBC's wraith[1], albeit easier to integrate.

#23Has anyone used visualdiff.com?

#24Has anyone used visualdiff.com? The services seem pretty similar.

#25This looks promising. Our project has a plethora of selenium tests, but they're focused on functionality only, not appearance. We can tell there is a table, button, link, form, etc. and click it. On that side we're reliable. But we really let ourselves down sometimes with regressions to the look and feel of the application. Are there any competitor tools for this visual testing ?

I think they might only do live sites, the thing about Percy is that it can be integrated earlier into your feature/browser tests for all pages, even those behind logins.

#27I wasn't a fan of giving you github permissions just to sign up for an invite.
I would have agreed with this, but the permissions they ask for are pretty benign and clearly relevant to their mission.
I'm a member of organisations that may not be comfortable with me giving permission by proxy.
I couldn't find a way to sign up and exclude private repos or organizations.

Fair enough, but I think that's a limitation of Github rather than a problem imposed by Percy.

#29I've been working on VisualReview (https://github.com/xebia/VisualReview), an open source project for visually reviewing a (web-)application as part of a pull-request, very similar to percy.io.
We're releasing our first version somewhere next week which includes a basic comparison GUI and testing api's. PR workflow planned in the release after that. Interesting to see we're not the only ones with this idea.

You can sign up for the mailing list instead: https://percy.io/#updates
And yes it's a GitHub limitation, we request some limited readonly access and no code access (we don't need it).
