<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>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Gravatar service (provided by Automattic Inc.) to display user avatars.</p>

<p>Checks whether users have a Gravatar avatar associated with their email address. If a Gravatar exists, it displays the avatar image. If not, it shows the user’s initials instead.</p>
<h4>What data is sent</h4>
<p>An MD5 hash of the user’s email address is sent to Gravatar’s servers via a HEAD request. The actual email address is NOT sent – only its hash.</p>
<h4>When data is sent</h4>
<ul>
<li>When displaying user avatars in the Bublz interface (ticket views, Kanban board)</li>
<li>When users access their avatar preference settings</li>
</ul>
<h4>User control</h4>
<p>Users can avoid Gravatar entirely by selecting “Initial” or “Custom Avatar” in their Bublz preferences (Bublz > Preferences).</p>
<h4>Service provider</h4>
<p>Gravatar is provided by Automattic Inc.<br />
