Collect client feedback on staging sites

The work that most needs review — staging builds, password-protected previews, client sites you don’t own — is exactly where a screenshot tool falls apart. Pogpin gives you three ways in, depending on how much access you have.

Option 1 — Embed the widget

If you can edit the staging site, install the widget. This is the smoothest experience: reviewers see the launcher the moment they land. Gate it to non-production with an environment check:

<script
  src="https://cdn.pogpin.com/widget.js"
  data-project="STAGING_KEY"
  defer
></script>

Option 2 — Chrome extension

Can’t touch the code? Reviewers install the Pogpin Chrome extension and pin on any page they can open — including HTTP-auth-protected previews. Pins sync to the same project as the widget, so feedback lands in one place regardless of source.

Option 3 — Zero-install proxy mode

For public and staging URLs where reviewers won’t install anything, generate a review link. Pogpin serves the page through a reverse proxy with the widget injected — no code changes and no extension. Reviewers click the link and start pinning as guests.

Which should I use?

Situation	Best option
You own the staging site	Widget
You review many third-party sites	Extension
Reviewers won’t install anything	Proxy link

Handle authentication

For HTTP basic auth, share credentials over your usual secure channel — the extension and proxy both prompt the reviewer’s browser normally. For app-level logins, embed the widget behind your auth wall so only signed-in users ever see it.

Once feedback is flowing, route it into your tracker with triage pins into tracked issues.
