Tuft adds a floating button to every page on your site. When clicked, it enters a targeting mode that lets the visitor click any element on the page to annotate it. The plugin captures the DOM selector, click coordinates, viewport dimensions, form field state, and an in-browser screenshot, then presents a drawing toolbar so the reviewer can mark up the screenshot before typing their feedback. Everything is stored locally as a custom post type for admin review.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Click-to-annotate — click the “Feedback” button then click any element. The hovered element highlights so you know exactly what you’re selecting.</li>
<li>In-browser screenshots — uses html2canvas (bundled with the plugin, no CDN dependency) to capture the visible viewport at the moment of submission.</li>
<li>Freehand canvas annotation — a drawing toolbar below the screenshot preview lets reviewers draw freehand strokes or rectangles, undo the last stroke, or clear all marks. Annotations are baked into the submitted JPEG on the client.</li>
<li>Context capture — records the CSS selector, viewport-relative click coordinates, viewport dimensions, and any visible form field values (passwords excluded).</li>
<li>Feedback modal — clean overlay collects the visitor’s feedback text alongside the annotated screenshot. Logged-in users are not prompted for name or email — their WordPress account details are used automatically. Guest visitors see name and email fields.</li>
<li>Widget visibility controls — choose who sees the feedback button: everyone (including logged-out visitors), logged-in users only, editors and above, or administrators only. Configured under Settings → Tuft Feedback.</li>
<li>Submission rate limiting — cap submissions per IP address per hour to protect against spam. Set to 0 to disable. Tracked via post meta queries.</li>
<li>Built-in notifications — email a comma-separated list of addresses and/or POST a JSON payload to any number of webhook URLs on every submission. Works with Slack incoming webhooks, Discord, Teams, Zapier, Make, and any HTTP endpoint.</li>
<li>Local storage — submissions saved as a <code>tuft_feedback</code> custom post type with full metadata and a screenshot attachment.</li>
<li>Admin review — list table with columns for feedback text, source page, element selector, submitter, and screenshot thumbnail. Full detail view with screenshot in the post editor.</li>
<li>Alpaca Issue Tracker integration — if <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/alpaca-issue-tracker/" rel="ugc">Alpaca Issue Tracker</a> is installed, each submission is automatically mirrored as a Kanban issue on the Alpaca board. The Tuft admin menu moves under the Alpaca Project Board menu.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Intended use</h4>
This plugin is designed for local development and staging environments where you want clients or team members to leave visual design notes without logging in to a project management tool. The widget visibility setting under Settings → Tuft Feedback controls who sees the button; the REST endpoint that receives submissions is open by default — review the security notes before deploying to a publicly accessible production site.
<h4>Alpaca Issue Tracker integration</h4>
When <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/alpaca-issue-tracker/" rel="ugc">Alpaca Issue Tracker</a> is active alongside Tuft:
<ul>
<li>Each submission creates a matching <code>alpaca_issue</code> in your board’s default (lowest-score) column.</li>
<li>Issues are tagged with the submitter’s browser and the type “Tuft” for easy filtering.</li>
<li>The Tuft admin menu moves under the Project Board submenu, so the Alpaca board becomes the primary triage interface.</li>
<li>Click any row in the Tuft list to open the full detail view including the annotated screenshot.</li>
</ul>

Tuft Feedback

Collect visual design feedback directly on the page — visitors click any element, annotate a screenshot, and add a note without leaving the browser.

Tidy Draft Share lets you share any unpublished WordPress post with clients, editors, or collaborators — without publishing it and without giving them a WordPress account.
Generate a secure, time-limited link and send it to anyone. They will see the post exactly as it will look once published: same theme, same layout, same formatting.
<h4>Why Tidy Draft Share?</h4>
Most editorial workflows hit the same wall: “Can you take a look at this before I publish it?”. The usual workarounds — copying text into an email, exporting a PDF, or creating a temporary user account — are clunky and error-prone.
Tidy Draft Share solves this with a single click. Create a link, send it, done. The recipient sees a pixel-perfect preview of the post inside your actual theme. When the link expires, access is gone.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-click sharing — Generate a secure link from the editor sidebar or the posts list, and copy it to your clipboard instantly</li>
<li>Flexible expiration — Choose from 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or no expiration at all</li>
<li>Revoke anytime — Disable any link immediately with one click; access stops on the spot</li>
<li>Multiple links per post — Create separate links for different reviewers, each with its own expiration and view count</li>
<li>View tracking — See how many times each link has been opened</li>
<li>Works everywhere — Supports posts, pages, and any custom post type (WooCommerce products, portfolio items, etc.)</li>
<li>All unpublished statuses — Drafts, pending review, scheduled, and private posts</li>
<li>SEO safe — Shared previews include a noindex/nofollow meta tag automatically, so search engines never index them</li>
<li>Preview banner — A clear “Draft preview” banner at the top of the page tells the reader the content is not published yet</li>
<li>Expired link page — Visitors see a clean, branded message when a link has expired instead of a confusing error</li>
<li>Gutenberg & Classic — Full sidebar panel in the block editor, classic meta box for older setups</li>
<li>Quick share from posts list — One-click share directly from your posts table, no need to open the editor</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — All data is removed from your database when the plugin is deleted</li>
</ul>
<h4>Use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Share a formatted article with a client for approval before publishing</li>
<li>Let an external editor proofread a draft without creating a WordPress account</li>
<li>Preview scheduled content with your marketing team or stakeholders</li>
<li>Send a private post to a specific person without opening it to all logged-in users</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy & security</h4>
Every share link uses a cryptographically secure 32-character token. Token validation uses constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks. Links are checked on every visit — expired or revoked links return a 403 immediately. No data is sent to external servers; everything stays in your WordPress database.
