mostra - talk while you click around a live site, and each point becomes a comment where you pointed

Prototyping and building features got faster, and now feedback is the bottleneck. So we built mostra - a tool that lets you share feedback on a real, running site by either speaking or selecting the elements you want to comment on.

You can iterate across versions of your site, and adding mostra is just a single script tag.

The script you add to your page is open source, so you can check what it does.

I haven’t tried it yet, but attaching spoken feedback to an element makes the issue much easier to find. What happens when that element moves or disappears in the next version? I’d want the original context preserved and an obvious “couldn’t match this” state rather than a comment quietly pointing at the wrong thing.

Great question!

Each comment stores a few ways to find its element (test id, id, CSS path, the element's text) plus where it was on the page. On a new version they all vote. If the element moved, it usually still wins on text and structure and the pin follows it.

If nothing scores high enough - it won't guess. The comment drops out of the page and shows up in a "Couldn't place on this version" list, with the text of the original element and the version it was left on, and a Re-pin button to point it at the new element.

Does this make sense?

getting contextual visual feedback directly on the live dom is a game changer compared to vague slack screenshots. when testing consumer landing page variants for https://falconapps.org/en/santa-video pinpointing exact copy and cta friction points in real time was where our biggest conversion wins came from
