I have no idea what "Umbraco" is, but it's pretty cool that #DDEV can support it. 🎉

A system built for the public can't afford that kind of turnaround.
Our Drupal Practice Lead, Bob McDonald, built a tool that runs those checks locally, before code gets pushed.

Next ideas for "Quick DDEV previews" #buildinpublic

- db dump upload and .zip file upload for assets, e.g. fileadmin/ for TYPO3 projects
- maybe a better project name 🤓

What is a killer feature you'd like for project like this?
