from article to paywall
Editorial feedback
Let teams mark content issues right on the page
Publishing sites change all day. Articles, embeds, images, newsletters, subscription prompts, and paywalls all need fast feedback from people who may not live in your issue tracker. Ybug lets editors, producers, QA, and product teams point at the issue and send it with the screenshot attached.
- Capture layout, image, embed, paywall, and subscription-flow issues visually
- Let editorial and audience teams report without leaving the page
- Pass section, author, publication, region, or release as custom user context
Precise reports
No more “the article looked broken on my phone”
Busy editors and product leads don’t need a slow reporting process or a pile of vague complaints. Ybug keeps reporting quick while automatically attaching the URL, browser, OS, viewport, screenshot, and console output your technical team needs.
- Exact article URL, viewport, browser, and OS captured automatically
- Console errors included for embeds, ads, subscription, and paywall issues
- Annotations make copy, image, and layout feedback easy to understand
Fast handoff
Move issues from editorial review to the right queue
Some reports belong to editorial. Some belong to product, ads, subscriptions, or engineering. Send Ybug reports to Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email while keeping the full visual context attached.
- Integrations with Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and more
- Separate projects for publications, sections, subscription flows, or apps
- Replies keep follow-up tied to the original report
Paywall and preview testing
Capture issues on public pages and private previews
The bugs that hurt publishing teams often hide in previews, subscriber-only pages, authenticated experiences, or region-specific flows. Use the widget where it’s installed, or the browser extension and Native screenshots where it isn’t.
- Widget for live articles, landing pages, and subscription flows
- Browser extension for previews, paywalled pages, and authenticated areas
- Native screenshots for locked-down environments and staging
“Ybug makes collecting feedback and bugs extremely smooth, even for non-technical users. Annotated screenshots, automatic environment information (browser, console, URL, screen size), and integrations with our project management tools save considerable time during testing and support phases.”

Frequently asked questions
Can we use Ybug for content management QA and live publishing?
Yes. You can run Ybug in every environment – staging and production. Test article layouts and subscription flows before they go live, then keep collecting feedback on your live site.
Can Ybug capture article and paywall issues clearly?
Yes. Editors and QA can mark the issue on the page, and Ybug adds the screenshot, URL, viewport, browser, and console output.
Can we tag reports by section or publication?
Yes. Pass section, author, publication, region, or release as custom user context through the JS snippet.
Can we test previews and subscriber-only pages?
Yes. Use the browser extension for previews, paywalled pages, authenticated areas, and staging pages where the snippet isn’t installed yet.
Will the feedback widget slow down our site or app?
Not at all. We’ve built Ybug to be lightweight and load asynchronously, so it won’t interfere with your page load speeds or user experience. You get the feedback you need without the lag.
Does it integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Ybug integrates with Jira, Slack, GitHub, ClickUp, Trello, and many more. Feedback and bugs can go straight into the tools you already use.
Can our users submit feedback without logging in?
Yes. Users can submit visual feedback and bug reports directly from your app in a few clicks – no signup or login required. Less friction means more useful feedback.
