PagePin gives WordPress agencies and developers two tools for client feedback and bug reporting — Pinshots for screenshot-based bug reports and Pinpoints for DOM-based comment threads. Self-hosted, GDPR compliant, no cloud dependencies.
<h4>Pinshots — Bug Reporting</h4>
Screenshot-based feedback with visual markers. Place numbered markers anywhere on the page, add notes, and capture everything in a single screenshot. Perfect for quick bug reports, design reviews, and client feedback rounds.
<ul>
<li>Three Marker Types — Negative (red) for bugs, Positive (green) for approvals, Note (orange) for comments</li>
<li>One-Click Screenshots — Capture the current page instantly with all markers included</li>
<li>Email Delivery — Send feedback with screenshot attachment to up to 5 recipients</li>
<li>Custom Watermark — Brand every screenshot with your own text</li>
<li>Adjustable Compression — Image quality from 10% to 100%</li>
<li>Undo/Redo — Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y to undo and redo marker placements</li>
<li>Drag & Drop — Reposition markers by dragging them to the correct location</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pinpoints — Client Feedback</h4>
DOM-based comment threads attached directly to page elements — like Google Docs comments, but for your live website. Comments persist even when the page layout changes, making it ideal for ongoing collaboration and iterative design feedback.
<ul>
<li>Element-Attached Threads — Click any element to start a comment thread on it</li>
<li>Smart Element Matching — Comments survive layout changes through CSS selectors, content fingerprinting, and multi-signal scoring</li>
<li>@Mentions — Mention team members or external guests in comments to notify them</li>
<li>Resolve & Reopen — Mark threads as resolved and reopen them when needed</li>
<li>Sidebar Overview — All pinpoints listed in a slide-out sidebar with unread badges</li>
<li>Visual Indicators — Numbered badges on the page show where pinpoints are attached</li>
<li>Tag System — Organize pinpoints with custom colored tags (Bug, Design, Content, Urgent, or your own)</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Pin — Press Ctrl+Alt+F (or click the floating button) and click anywhere on your site</li>
<li>Capture — Screenshot, element position, and browser context are captured automatically</li>
<li>Ship — Feedback is delivered to your inbox or discussed in a pinpoint thread</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
Screenshots & Markers
<ul>
<li>Three annotation tools with automatic numbering</li>
<li>Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+F to activate, keys 1/2/3 for tool selection</li>
<li>Customizable floating feedback button with inactivity auto-hide</li>
<li>Dual screenshot engines (html2canvas and html-to-image)</li>
<li>Touch support for tablets and mobile devices</li>
</ul>
Collaboration
<ul>
<li>External Collaborators — Invite anyone via Magic Link email or shareable URL (no WordPress account needed)</li>
<li>Collaborator Reuse — Grant existing guests access to additional pinpoints without creating new links</li>
<li>@Mention Notifications — Mention collaborators in comments to send email notifications with Magic Link access</li>
<li>Auto-Grant Access — Mentioning a collaborator automatically grants them access if they don’t have it yet</li>
<li>Share Modal — Internal link for team members, external sharing with guest dropdown or new guest creation</li>
<li>Thread Notifications — All thread participants (including collaborators) are notified of new comments</li>
<li>Configurable Link Expiry — Set Magic Links to expire after 7, 30, or 90 days</li>
</ul>
Admin & Management
<ul>
<li>Admin dashboard with feedback statistics and quick links</li>
<li>Feedback overview with status filters (New, Sent, Resolved) and bulk actions</li>
<li>Post/Page metabox showing pinpoint count per content</li>
<li>Admin bar integration with live feedback counter badge</li>
<li>Collaborator management with type display, inline email editing, and access control</li>
<li>Tag management with custom colors and usage statistics</li>
<li>8-step setup wizard for first-time configuration</li>
</ul>
Security & Access Control
<ul>
<li>Role-based access — control who can create, view, and resolve feedback</li>
<li>Granular pinpoint permissions (create, view, resolve per role)</li>
<li>Spam protection: honeypot, submission timing, rate limiting with escalation</li>
<li>Optional CAPTCHA: reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile</li>
<li>Rate limit escalation (5 min → 15 min → 1 hour → 6 hours → 24 hours)</li>
</ul>
Privacy & Standards
<ul>
<li>100% self-hosted — your server, your database, your data</li>
<li>GDPR compliant — no external calls unless CAPTCHA is enabled</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — all data removed when plugin is deleted</li>
<li>Multilingual — English and German included, translation-ready</li>
