We built LayerDock to make website feedback less painful

Hey DEV 👋

I'm Zain. I spent years building websites for clients, and the hardest part was always the feedback. Screenshots in WhatsApp, vague emails, "the button looks off." Which button?

So my co-founder Adeen and I built LayerDock.

You open your live site in the browser, click anywhere and leave a comment on that exact spot. Each comment saves a screenshot, the device and browser, and any errors on the page. Clients just get a review link. Nothing to install.

If you use Claude Code or Cursor, you can send a comment straight to your editor with all that context attached.

We're in beta with around 50 users and there's a free plan. I'd love your honest feedback 🙂

Congrats on shipping. Client feedback on websites is painful mostly because of vagueness: "make it pop", "this section feels off". Pinning comments to the element solves the "where", which is half of it. Do you do anything for the "what exactly"? I work on chatform.in (forms that ask a follow-up when an answer is vague) and we see the same issue from the form side, so I'm curious how you're thinking about it.

The "which button?" line is exactly the pain, I've had those WhatsApp screenshots too. With ~50 beta users, are they mostly agencies and freelancers like you were, or a mix? Curious who sticks around the most.

Pinning feedback right onto the live page beats the screenshot-in-Slack routine by a mile. How do you handle comments on elements that change between deploys, do pins re-anchor or flag as stale?
