<p>Rollerblade is a tool that you can use to easily create issue reports and tickets for your team, right from an in-line interface on your WordPress installation.</p>
<p>Here’s the Demo:<br />

Rollerblade

Pros:
- The concept is very interesting.
Cons:
- Requires a browser extension, and uses negative reinforcement to convince you. "Install, or continue to use Bad Screenshots".
- Assumes you are on a large screen. Small screens are out of the question.
- Registering a domain to your account is a little odd and requires setup on both ends (account and site).
- WARNING: Account signup sends your password in plain text. (Eeek!)
Neutral:
- Requires an account with their service, as tickets from all of your domains are stored in a central location. (May or may not be helpful, based on your situation)
- Reporting and Analysis require premium upgrades.



Interesting Idea

Rollerblade - a dead simple way for your clients to leave visual feedback on your WP site, creating information-rich tickets for you to track reports.
