#OpenSource

I am working on #OpenSource file uploader. The uploader is the widget that other developers embed in their apps. It should work well in different browsers and on different devices. BrowserStack and Sauce Labs help to achieve that. I can test the uploader in many varieties of browsers+OS only used my browser without virtual machines.

BrowserStack

Spinning up multiple VMs to test cross-browser is very time consuming. Even though we only occasionally need BrowserStack, it saves us such a hassle every time we do. Being able to pipe everything through your local machine so you can reach localhost etc. is really convenient.
