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.

Would love some feedback on this

I really liked it. Communication issues often arise on both sides. It’s turned out to be a great intermediary.
