While most of the above design feedback tools have focused on general annotation and design feedback workflows, Usersnap targets developers, QAs, and interdisciplinary teams building software and websites together.
Usersnap's dual focus on design feedback and bug-tracking is immediately apparent.
Because you can’t indicate “this comment applies to this design element,” miscommunication can happen. Great for research, in addition to annotation. Nice integration with the browser makes it easy to use. Unless you’re commenting on a page at a high level alone, you’ll have to do some work to ensure your feedback comes across. Like Highly, this tool does suffer from a lack of specificity in shared content. But you’ll just click through to the site anyway. Attempting to display the web page within Evernote typically leads to a broken mess. The feature does try a little too hard at times, though. Perfect for researching blog posts - particularly this kind of post. And the ability to save, tag, and comment on the page is genius. One reason being that, unless you’re using your bookmark bar efficiently, you never see - and hence, never think - about your bookmarks.Įvernote Web Clipper helps solve that problem by being part of an app you probably already use on the regular. Like their headline implies, bookmarks have never felt like the right solution for saving the web. And it's part of Evernote.Įvernote Web Clipper has also earned a permanent place in my design process. Web Clipper's a powerful research and bookmarking tool that can do double duty for feedback. Self-destruct feature could backfire on you. Space saving (screenshots go to app, not desktop). And since you can choose to keep a particular image, you’ve got control. After all, screenshots are typically very of-the-moment, and otherwise sit around clogging up your hard drive for no good reason.
I’m also a big fan of the fact that you can use the key combo Option + Shift + 4 then click and drag to screenshot a specific area of your screen, and have the shot save to Droplr instead of your desktop.Īnd if you’ve ever seen my desktop or Dropbox, you’ll know I take a lot of screenshots.įinally, screenshots self-destruct, which I think is a really smart feature. But you can also quickly make reaction GIFs, share a web page as an image, or quickly shorten a link, too. It’s got all the features you expect from a screenshot and annotation tool, including screencasts. You can use it in your browser alone, if you’d like, but I particularly love the menu bar app, which gives you quick access to your last few screenshots. With files that self-destruct.ĭroplr caught my eye while researching this post, and I’m already loving it. Droplr's like a friendlier, more collaborative Dropbox.
