<p><strong>PagePin</strong> gives WordPress agencies and developers two tools for client feedback and bug reporting — <strong>Pinshots</strong> for screenshot-based bug reports and <strong>Pinpoints</strong> for DOM-based comment threads. Self-hosted, GDPR compliant, no cloud dependencies.</p>
<h4>Pinshots — Bug Reporting</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Three Marker Types</strong> — Negative (red) for bugs, Positive (green) for approvals, Note (orange) for comments</li>
<li><strong>One-Click Screenshots</strong> — Capture the current page instantly with all markers included</li>
<li><strong>Email Delivery</strong> — Send feedback with screenshot attachment to up to 5 recipients</li>
<li><strong>Custom Watermark</strong> — Brand every screenshot with your own text</li>
<li><strong>Adjustable Compression</strong> — Image quality from 10% to 100%</li>
<li><strong>Undo/Redo</strong> — Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y to undo and redo marker placements</li>
<li><strong>Drag & Drop</strong> — Reposition markers by dragging them to the correct location</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pinpoints — Client Feedback</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Element-Attached Threads</strong> — Click any element to start a comment thread on it</li>
<li><strong>Smart Element Matching</strong> — Comments survive layout changes through CSS selectors, content fingerprinting, and multi-signal scoring</li>
<li><strong>@Mentions</strong> — Mention team members or external guests in comments to notify them</li>
<li><strong>Resolve & Reopen</strong> — Mark threads as resolved and reopen them when needed</li>
<li><strong>Sidebar Overview</strong> — All pinpoints listed in a slide-out sidebar with unread badges</li>
<li><strong>Visual Indicators</strong> — Numbered badges on the page show where pinpoints are attached</li>
<li><strong>Tag System</strong> — Organize pinpoints with custom colored tags (Bug, Design, Content, Urgent, or your own)</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Pin</strong> — Press Ctrl+Alt+F (or click the floating button) and click anywhere on your site</li>
<li><strong>Capture</strong> — Screenshot, element position, and browser context are captured automatically</li>
<li><strong>Ship</strong> — Feedback is delivered to your inbox or discussed in a pinpoint thread</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<p><strong>Screenshots & Markers</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Collaboration</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>External Collaborators</strong> — Invite anyone via Magic Link email or shareable URL (no WordPress account needed)</li>
<li><strong>Collaborator Reuse</strong> — Grant existing guests access to additional pinpoints without creating new links</li>
<li><strong>@Mention Notifications</strong> — Mention collaborators in comments to send email notifications with Magic Link access</li>
<li><strong>Auto-Grant Access</strong> — Mentioning a collaborator automatically grants them access if they don’t have it yet</li>
<li><strong>Share Modal</strong> — Internal link for team members, external sharing with guest dropdown or new guest creation</li>
<li><strong>Thread Notifications</strong> — All thread participants (including collaborators) are notified of new comments</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Link Expiry</strong> — Set Magic Links to expire after 7, 30, or 90 days</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Admin & Management</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Security & Access Control</strong></p>
<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 <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 15 min <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 1 hour <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 6 hours <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 24 hours)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Privacy & Standards</strong></p>
<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>

<h4>Collect contextual website feedback directly on your pages</h4>
<p><strong>Spotfix</strong> makes it effortless both to submit visual feedback and to act on it: visitors highlight any element and leave a comment in seconds, while you manage every submission as a structured task in one workspace.<br />
No chasing emails, no lost context.</p>
<h4>What This Website Feedback Widget Does</h4>
<p>Spotfix is a lightweight on-page widget for website feedback and website annotation. It enables contextual visual feedback collection: users (all visitors, or your team members and clients only) highlight any element on your site to leave comments, report bugs, or request changes. Every submission appears as a structured task in your workspace.</p>
<p>Collect website feedback directly on your pages. Visualize and manage visitor feedback in context, right on your site. Let visitors or clients highlight content, report bugs, request edits, and leave comments.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/73wfU9KCeG8?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
<h3>How Spotfix Works</h3>
<h4>Highlight <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Ask <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Resolve</h4>
<p><strong>1. Highlight</strong><br />
User selects any text or element on your page. A pop-up window appears.</p>
<p><strong>2. Submit</strong><br />
The user submits a Spot — a bug report, fix request, website annotation or just any comment tied to that exact webpage. Submitting a Spot takes less than 10 seconds. The widget automatically fills the title using the highlighted text or an image’s Title/Alt attribute. The visitor adds a short message, optionally includes their name and email, while the page URL and element reference are captured automatically.Screenshots or files can be attached for additional context.</p>
<p><strong>3. Resolve</strong><br />
When a Spot is submitted,the feedback instantly appears in two places:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the widget’s on-page list, where visitors can follow progress in real time and reply in “chat next to element” mode. </li>
<li>In your doBoard – our lightweight project management software – workspace. From there, you can label and organize feedback your way: assign items to team members, set priorities and due dates, discuss details in comments, and mark tasks as done.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>You can reply to Spots from doBoard or directly within the widget.</strong> Within the widget, conversations appear as a chat thread with visible progress and status updates. If the visitor provided an email address, they’ll be automatically notified when you reply.</p>
<h3>Two Feedback Widget Modes for Different Workflows</h3>
<h4>Private Mode – Client Feedback & Team Reviews</h4>
<p>The widget is completely invisible to general visitors. Share a link, add your team or clients to your workspace, and every Spot automatically appears in your shared doBoard workspace, but is invisible to regular website visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Who uses it:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Web developers, web designers & agencies – Clients highlight exactly what needs changing, every comment lands with context attached. No revision calls, no annotated PDFs, no scattered emails.</li>
<li>Content & editorial teams – Editors and writers submit corrections precisely where changes are needed.</li>
<li>QA teams – Internal bug reporting with visual context before launch.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Public Mode – Crowdsource Website Feedback from Visitors</h4>
<p>Open the widget to everyone and turn visitors into quality testers. Every bug report or suggestion comes with context already included. Visitors see open Spots and track progress in real time.</p>
<p><strong>Works great for:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Content websites & media – Readers catch typos, inaccuracies, and outdated information</li>
<li>SaaS & documentation sites – Users report outdated examples and UX blockers</li>
<li>E-commerce stores – Customers flag incorrect specs and outdated product details</li>
<li>Education platforms – Students ask questions right where confusion happens</li>
<li>Corporate knowledge portals – Employees suggest continuous improvements</li>
</ul>
<h3>Quick Setup</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install Spotfix from WordPress directory</li>
<li>Create your doBoard account (it takes 2 minutes)</li>
<li>Create a project for your website, and generate your widget code in doBoard settings</li>
<li>Paste code into Spotfix plugin settings</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>It takes a couple of minutes. No impact on SEO or page speed.</strong><br />
<strong>Pro Tip:</strong> Create separate doBoard projects per site to keep client feedback organized.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<p>✓ Highlight any text or element to submit visual feedback in seconds<br />
✓ Attach screenshots or files to any submission<br />
✓ Reply and discuss directly in the widget, tied to the exact element<br />
✓ Every submission lands in doBoard as a task: assign, prioritize, set due dates, and track status<br />
✓ The widget and workspace stay in sync: feedback history and progress visible in both places<br />
✓ Two modes: Private (visible to invited users only) or Public (open to all website visitors)<br />
✓ Anonymous submissions supported — name and email optional<br />
✓ Email notifications when you reply to feedback</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following APIs — api.doboard.com, api.cleantalk.org, and spotfix.doboard.com — to collect data about open spots and comments for the website and the currently viewed page. This data is displayed in the widget and helps visitors communicate about existing spots and submit new ones. The plugin sends user-generated content, as well as an email address and password (if provided), to the API. It uses JavaScript hosted on spotfix.doboard.com to display the widget to website visitors. This service is provided by CleanTalk Inc, <a href="https://doboard.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>
