Live feedback integrates with Github to provide you with a seamless experience.
You can easily create issues on your Github repository directly from the feedback you receive on your website.
When you create a thread on your website, it automatically creates an issue on your Github repository with your initial message and a screenshot of the page where the feedback was given in the description among other details which makes it easier for your team to understand the feedback and work on it.
Live feedback is aware of the DOM structure of your website.
When you create a thread, it automatically captures the DOM element, extracting some of its properties like:
- Css Selector
- Visibility related properties
- Position related properties
and attaches them to the issue created on Github along with contextual information like the URL of the page where the feedback was given.
Tracking is the most valuable feature of Live feedback. It allows you to see the exact element that the feedback is referring to, which makes it easier for your team to understand the feedback and work on it.
Tracking calculations are propense to errors, although I haven't experience any, it is possible that the element tracked is not the one you intended to track or that the element is not tracked at all so you will not be able to see the thread bubble.
