Polypane has saved me a lot of money and time
Opmerkingen: I am not a full-time website developer but it is within my responsibilities to audit and improve overall website functionality and visual performance. Polypane became my tool of choice for this as soon as it came out. The simplest way Polypane is saving me money is when I need to evaluate a theme for a website at a marketplace like ThemeForest. I can run any theme demo via Polypane and quickly see if it could work, or is not suitable for the task — just by looking at the desktop and mobile view at the same time. Before I bought Polypane, I kept a couple of tablets and several mobile phones around just so that I could put a design through its paces at different resolutions and see how well or poorly it performed. In the past, I have purchased many $50-70 theme only to find out later they would not work for me because the menu doesn't look well or something; with Polypane I can weed off the unsuitable themes very quickly. It also helps me a lot to communicate the work I am doing to my customers. Many people still view their own websites only on desktop and demand solutions that don't work on mobile; a simple screenshot from Polypane allows me to show them quickly where the issue lies, and propose a better solution.
Pluspunten:
Polypane is an ambitious project: it combines website design & development, functional testing and accessibility testing (these are often addressed by different tools otherwise, especially the last one). Feature development is ongoing, and valuable features are added every 3-6 months. The developer Kilian Valkhof is extremely accessible and very generous with his time. The Polypane website which he runs in parallel with the Polypane app, includes several useful tools and TONS of valuable information within the blog section.
Minpunten:
With 2-3 website tabs open and 4-5 emulated devices per tab, Polypane gets a bit sluggish for my old PC (4C/8T Haswell at 3.5GHz, 32GB RAM). Sometimes synced scroll will not work reliably.

Overwogen alternatieven:
Essential for website quality assurance and front-end development
Opmerkingen: Our desks used to be full of devices – iphone, android phone, ipad, macbook and windows laptop. Refreshing all the screens to see if the client's website looked great at different viewpoints took time. Probably 40% of the build time is QA and testing. Polypane solves this problem by letting you view multiple viewports and set guides/rulers to see if everything lines up as you scroll.
Pluspunten:
The passion of the creator and constant improvement. We mostly use this for testing website responsive viewport sizes side-by-side, but there is so much more here.
Minpunten:
The refresh icon was on the right side of the address bar (a hang over of previous browser UI), but this changed last year. The expereince is seamless coming from using F12 in Chrome.

Great Tool for SEO Professionals!
Opmerkingen: I'm able to more deeply and methodically check out websites as I develop them, and am very impressed by the company owner reaching out to me to see if there's anything he can do to help.
Pluspunten:
With Polypane, I've been able to remove about a dozen SEO and accessibility-checking plugins from my web browsers, speeding up my computer and removing clutter. But there's surprisingly no impact on my computer's speed by keeping Polypane open alongside my other browsers.
Minpunten:
I wish I could pin tabs for things like my password manager so that I can easily pull up website passwords as I work on the sites—although that functionality could be there and I just haven't found it yet.

Needs a better Getting Started guide
Pluspunten:
Free for users that had a GitHub Education account.
Minpunten:
Incredibly hard and confusing to use on a Windows 11 Desktop.

Hey Ryan, Sorry to hear you had a hard time getting started. Polypane's getting started guide is visible right in the app when you first launch it (unless you click it away) and there's actually a full video walkthrough of me on the first page of our extensive docs, where all the features are documented: https://polypane.app/docs/ Did you go through that guide, or take a look at the video? We explain both of them in the first getting started email we send as well that you got when you signed up for your free trial. In any case, you're always welcome to reach out through mail or the live chat if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer and explain.
