Tunnels built for collaborative review
While ngrok is an excellent utility for testing generic webhooks, Magnyte Preview is designed specifically for client reviews and team collaboration. We build a feedback canvas directly into the shared review link, allowing clients and designers to comment, inspect, and approve changes directly from their browser, synchronizing state back to your development editor.
