Inspiration

I’ve been building websites for clients for years, and one of the most frustrating parts has always been collecting feedback. Clients would send emails trying to describe changes, but things would get lost in translation — "Can you move that thing near the box on the second page?" — and I’d spend more time figuring out what they meant than actually fixing anything.

I wanted a simple tool where clients could just click on the page, leave a note, and I’d know exactly what they were talking about. That didn’t exist — at least not in a way that was affordable or simple enough for everyday use. So I decided to build it myself.

What it does

OpenMark lets anyone leave visual feedback directly on a website. Clients (or teammates) can click anywhere on a live page, leave a comment, and send it off — no login required.

It's a super simple way to collect notes, markups, and changes without the confusion of long email threads or screenshots with red circles drawn in Paint.

How we built it

Entirely in Bolt and integrating Supabase

Challenges we ran into

Getting website previews to load in the app, but I finally managed to get it done.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a tool that actually solves a real, daily pain point.

The UI is clean, intuitive, and easy for non-technical users.

The feedback process is now way faster and more accurate for both sides.

Early testers (designers and devs) are already using it with real clients — and loving it.

What we learned

We learned that simplicity is powerful. The hardest part of building OpenMark wasn’t the tech — it was cutting out all the things we didn’t need. Keeping the tool focused on doing one thing really well made everything easier.

What's next for OpenMark

Much more to come. User tagging and replies to make collaboration even smoother Browser extension for pages that are difficult to load
