What is BugSmash?
BugSmash is a visual feedback and annotation tool designed to help teams review websites and documents collaboratively. It allows you to capture screenshots of live websites, mark up PDFs with comments and annotations, and gather structured feedback from stakeholders without needing multiple communication tools. The platform centralises all visual feedback in one place, making it easier to track issues, revisions, and approval workflows. It's particularly useful for design teams, QA departments, and anyone managing client or internal reviews where clarity about specific visual elements matters.
