Show it, then triage it

Version 0.10.0 · Released

Comments can now carry a short video of the camera or the screen, and a one-line script puts the same commenting on your own live site. Once the notes are in, a board shows what is open and who has it, and Trello, Notion, ClickUp and Zapier join the places a note can be filed.
On this page

Video notes and the widget share the composer, so a note recorded in the extension, in the viewer or on a site carrying the script looks the same to the person who reads it.
