Screenshot Feedback Widget

BugDrop is a screenshot feedback widget for teams that need users to show the problem, not just describe it. A report can include the current page screenshot, annotations, redacted regions, the page URL, and browser metadata.

Why Screenshots Matter

Website bugs are often visual: clipped text, broken spacing, missing images, wrong colors, hidden buttons, mobile overflow, dark-mode issues, or browser-specific rendering problems. A written report like "the page looks broken" rarely gives developers enough context.

A screenshot turns the report into a concrete artifact. An annotation points to the exact area, and metadata explains the environment where it happened.

BugDrop Screenshot Reports Include

  • Page screenshot
  • User annotation
  • Manual redaction before submit
  • Developer-controlled masking with data-bugdrop-mask
  • Page URL
  • Viewport size
  • Browser and operating system
  • Feedback category and labels

Privacy Controls

Screenshots can expose private information. BugDrop supports user redaction and developer-defined masking for sensitive elements. Password and payment fields should be treated carefully, and teams should review screenshot masking before deploying the widget to authenticated product pages.

GitHub-Native Output

Instead of sending screenshots to a separate dashboard, BugDrop creates a GitHub Issue. That keeps visual bug reports close to the code, release process, assignees, labels, and comments developers already use.

Start with installation, then configure screenshot behavior in configuration.
