@aleksander_kaaberma Well done on bringing your idea to life! Wishing you continued success and great experiences. What’s one feature you’re particularly excited about?

@kjosephabraham Thanks for the kind words :) The feature I'm most excited about is how simple this is for clients.

Congratulations on the launch... Is there a way to filter messages? like only show the important ones?
Aleksander Kaaberma

@sinikiwe_phahlane Hi, Right now you only filter comments based on url. But this is a very good suggestion on how to improve the product. Have some sort of importance ranking for every comment. :)

The third picture🤣🤣 This is a really interesting idea and thank you for making this! Collecting user feedback can be such a hassle sometimes, even with some incentives, people still don't do it. Love how simple this product is for both sides. I'll recommend it to my friends! Good luck!

Hi Aleksander, Streamlining client feedback for web developers could be really useful. I'm wondering how the system handles version control or tracking changes over time? Also, are there plans to add collaboration features for teams working on the same project? Congrats on the launch!
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@kyrylosilin My initial goal was to solve a simple problem: replacing PDFs with direct comments on websites for quick feedback. So, you can "archive" completed tasks/comments. Regarding version control, if you make small changes to the website, the comments remain. However, structural changes might cause comments to get lost. Implementing comprehensive version control is complex and beyond the current scope. The focus is on a fast feedback loop for quick fixes. Hope this helps! :)

Congrats on the launch @aleksander_kaaberma. Is the intention only for a website development client. Or can it be extended to general users? Good luck on the launch.

@njrobb Hi, thanks! Initially, I designed Simple Commenter for internal users/clients to streamline the feedback process, avoiding the hassle of screenshots and PDF comments. However, I've applied the tool to my homepage, and general users are also making comments. So, it's definitely applicable for a broader audience, though it might benefit from a slightly different UI. Great suggestion for version 2.0! :)

The ability to leave comments directly on the website is a great feature. Would it be possible to integrate this with a project management tool?
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@memphys_sk I think that would be a fantastic addition! Integration would likely need to be tailored to each specific project management tool. I'm open to developing this further for long-term clients who see significant value in such a feature.

It's amazing! Managing comments from the backend is really simple too. Its made getting feedback from clients so much easier and clearer. Huge thanks to the Simple Commenter team.

Congrats on the launch! The comments in the screenshot definitely caught my eye 😂 You should add one too: "Please move this 1px to the right"
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@ler_ws haha yeah forgot that one 😂😂
Congrats on the launch! By the way, is this available for web apps, or is it just for websites?
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@josie_oy Hi! Simple Commenter works with any website hosted on the web, including web apps. While I haven't tested it with every complex system, the tool is standalone and should function independently of the web CMS being used.

Congratulations on the launch! I want to know if I can get user information about comments?
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@zhuizhui Currently, no. I developed this tool primarily for internal/client use, such as on preview links, to make it as simple as possible for the client without requiring logins or adding any hassle on their end.

Congrats! I have tried. Being able to mark the problem areas at will is indeed a unique advantage.
Tymek Zapała
Congratulations! I like the idea, simple yet useful. I think I may try it out for one of my products as I was thinking about gathering feedback in a more organized way. By the way, I love the roasting comments on screenshots!
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@tymzap Haha, that's exactly how clients can be sometimes! 😄 Once you do test it out, reach out to me. I'd love to hear your feedback and help improve the tool!

Congrats on the launch, very cool idea to provide feedback on a live website. I can see it having loads of use-cases. A couple of thoughts was how can I tag my web designer to let them know that there is a new comment, or my developer to let them know that there is a problem with a form. The other thought was that is says "start for free" but there is no indication if this is a free trial or a freemium plan. PS. the lack of scroll bar made it difficult for me to move up and down the website
Aleksander Kaaberma
Maker
@peterclaridge Thanks for the feedback and the kind words! 😊 For notifying developers about new comments, I could automate email notifications or they can check the Simple Commenter dashboard. Integrating with project management tools is also a great idea, but it would need more development—something I'm open to for long-term clients. About "Start for Free," it’s a 1-month trial. I plan to refine the pricing and trial options based on user feedback, like with my other products. Thanks for pointing out the scroll bar issue too! Really appreciate your input! 😄
Peter Claridge
@aleksander_kaaberma You're welcome :) Although we use figma to leave comments on designs while they're in the prototype stage, a website is never finished, there's always going to be feedback on the live design, and the CEO is always going to have thoughts about the website copy on the live site 😁

A must-have for getting client feedback. Amazing work, Aleksander!
Martin Maričák
WOW. I really hope this launch will get better, more constructive feedback compared with what is presented on screenshots! 😅

@martinmaricak Thanks for reaching out. We've all had those clients :D
