Hey HN, I’m a freelance dev, and my day to day is making web app for early startups.
Like any client work, there's a testing and feedback phase. I usually talk to my clients on whatsapp, but it's super inefficient. They are very vague to describe a problem, and when I ask for screenshots, I get a photo of their screen taken with their phone.
Anyways, after a few projects where I almost lost my mind, and also lost so much time just trying to understand my clients feedback, I decided to fix this.
There are actually many tools solving this problem, like marker.io or bugherd, but I didn’t find satisfying open source alternatives. There is agentation.dev that I took inspiration from for the ui, but it was not exactly tailored for client projects.
So I decided to build my own, it’s called faster fixes, it’s a open source feedback widget for react apps. You add reviewers from the dashboard, and send a link to your clients and they can start annotating the app. There is no browser extension to install.
I’ve also added a mcp server, so you can ask your agent to directly retrieve the feedback and fix them. Of course when a client leaves a feedback, the whole context is captured automatically (browser, component tree, screenshot etc) so the agent has enough to locate and patch the issue
There is a linear and github integration for now, will add more soon.
I get what you mean, but I believe content spinning itself is not the culprit. The real issue lies in business models that encourage the mass publishing of low-quality content on websites reliant on affiliation or ads.
Google typically filters out these types of websites (in theory at least), and with AI search, hopefully they will get irrelevant.
I'm a small web agency owner, and my day to day is doing SEO for local businesses.
To rank on many cities, I was duplicating services pages and replacing some part of the text.
Some say Google penalises this, but I've never seen any negative effects.
Anyways, I was doing all that manually and it was taking way too much time.
So, I created SpinPress because I wanted to save time (and also duplicating stuff manually is really boring), but then I realised it could also help me rank for all the long-tail keywords that big agencies don’t even bother trying.
I made this for SEO, but I believe it can be useful in other ways.
