I prefer the open-source equivalent https://responsively.app/ which is improving much faster due to community contributions.

This is great actually, thanks. I tried Sizzy but I really don't use it as much to justify paying every month even tho it's a "small" amount. I did also make a 1 time purchase of SlashB but it's riddled with issues and the development seems to have been paused and as much as I want to like it I can't.

Really at the end of the day I just want to see quickly what that change I just made looks across a few resolutions (mobile, common laptop and 1080p) without fumbling with window sizes, that's all. I don't need a million features that I will never use.

Creator of Sizzy here. Please don’t say equivalent because we have at least 50 features that differentiate us from any other “alternative” out there. Unlike the others, Sizzy is actually a company with employees who care about their users.

I'm not sure if you have a script messing with scroll behavior or it's just sort-of broken lazyloading, but that page is quite annoying to read.

Both websites are filled with obnoxious scroll animations. <BLINK> for the 21st century.

Neither site responds to the 'prefers-reduced-motion' request either.

Tangent: as I've only recently learned about 'prefers-reduced-motion, I've become a bit obsessive about checking whether animation-heavy websites respect the request. Many websites, sadly, don't bother about it.

First time I've heard about it, but I'm glad it exists. Although I feel like designers who are aware of it, probably know better than to cram as much animation into their sites as possible.
