Stop chasing bug reports across email and Slack — capture, assign, and fix issues without ever leaving your site. == Description == **Tired of playing bug report detective?** If you've ever launched a client project, you know the chaos: * Clients email screenshots that don't make sense * Testers dump bugs into messy spreadsheets * Developers lose track of what's "in progress" vs. "done" * Conversations scatter across email, Trello, Slack, and DMs — with no single source of truth * Critical bugs slip through the cracks because no one knows who's responsible * You spend more time managing feedback than actually fixing it The result? Missed deadlines, frustrated clients, and projects that drag on longer (and cost more) than they should. **Enter Annotatr: A bug tracking plugin built for WordPress teams.** Capture issues, assign them, and track progress — without ever leaving the site you're building. Everything stays in one place, inside your WordPress dashboard, so you can focus on delivering projects — not chasing down bug reports. **Stop juggling multiple apps.** No more creating endless accounts for developers and clients. Keep your entire bug-fixing workflow simple, streamlined, and fully inside WordPress. = Key Benefits = * **Single source of truth** — All feedback lives in WordPress, not scattered across tools * **Context captured automatically** — Device type, browser, screen resolution, and more * **Client-friendly** — Let clients report bugs directly with a professional interface * **Built for WordPress** — No third-party apps, external platforms, or confusing integrations * **Visual workflow** — See progress at a glance with an intuitive Kanban board = Core Features (Free) = * **Point & Capture** — Highlight any part of your site, screenshot it, and raise a bug instantly * **Automatic screenshots** — No manual uploads or external tools needed * **Team assignment** — Add developers and testers so every bug has a clear owner * **Visual Kanban board** — Track bugs from Open → In Progress → In Review → Done * **Real-time notifications** — Keep your team updated when tasks are created, assigned, or resolved * **Comments & collaboration** — Discuss issues right where they happen * **Debug context** — Automatically logs device, browser, resolution, and page details * **Page-specific tracking** — All bugs tied to specific pages and elements for easy context * **Modern React UI** — Fast, responsive interface built on the WordPress REST API **🎁 Special Offer:** Use code **earlybird25** for 25% off Premium — limited time! == Why Choose Annotatr? == **Built specifically for WordPress teams** Unlike generic project management tools, Annotatr is designed from the ground up for WordPress development workflows.

The free version is yours to use without time limits. It includes all core bug tracking features like point-and-capture feedback, automatic screenshots, team assignment, the Kanban board, and collaboration tools. Premium just unlocks more power for agencies and larger teams. = Does Annotatr work with any WordPress theme? = Absolutely. Annotatr works seamlessly with virtually all WordPress themes and page builders — if it runs WordPress, it runs Annotatr. The plugin is built on WordPress standards and the REST API for maximum compatibility. = How is Annotatr different from other project management tools? = Unlike external tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira, Annotatr lives *inside* WordPress — capturing on-page feedback with screenshots, metadata, and context automatically. Your team can identify bugs, discuss solutions, and track progress without ever leaving the site you're building. No context switching, no external accounts, no disconnected workflows. = Can clients or non-technical users leave feedback? = Yes! Anyone with WordPress access can leave visual feedback directly on the page. The interface is intuitive and professional — no training required. Clients can point, click, and describe issues in plain language while Annotatr captures all the technical details automatically. = Can I assign and manage tasks within Annotatr? = Definitely. You can assign bugs to specific team members, track them on the built-in Kanban board, update statuses with drag-and-drop, add comments and @mentions, set priorities, and keep all communication organised in one place. = Can I customise Annotatr to match my workflow? = Yes. Annotatr adapts to your process — organise tasks by status, filter by priority or assignee, and (with Premium) switch between Kanban, List, and Timeline views. The workflow is flexible enough to fit how your team already works. = Is my data private and secure? = Yes. All notes, screenshots, and feedback are stored in your WordPress database on your server. Nothing is sent to external services (except optional Freemius licensing, which you can opt out of). You have complete control over your data. = What happens to my data if I uninstall? = On uninstall, the plugin removes its custom database tables, options, and any plugin-generated uploads. If you want to preserve data, create external backups before uninstalling. = Does Annotatr slow down my website? = No. The frontend interface only loads when logged-in users with appropriate permissions are viewing your site. Regular visitors never see or download any Annotatr code, so there's zero impact on public-facing performance. == Screenshots == 1. Visual Kanban board showing bugs organised by status (Open, In Progress, In Review, Done) with drag-and-drop functionality 2. Frontend note creation interface — point, click, and capture feedback on any page element with automatic screenshots 3. Note detail view with team comments, @mentions, file attachments, reactions, and assignment options 4. Settings page for managing team members, developers, test users, and notification preferences 5. Statistics dashboard (Premium) — visual reports showing bug counts, team workload, and project health 6. Timeline view (Premium) — see all bugs organised chronologically with due dates and milestones == Privacy == This plugin optionally integrates with a licensing/telemetry framework (Freemius). On admin opt-in, basic usage data may be collected by that service per its policy. No personal data is collected from site visitors. You can opt out at any time from the Freemius settings dialog. == Data Removal on Uninstall == On uninstall, the plugin removes its custom database tables and options, and deletes any plugin-generated uploads in its folders. Backups created by the plugin in the uploads directory may also be removed. If you wish to preserve data, please create external backups before uninstalling. == For Developers == This plugin uses modern JavaScript tooling for optimal performance. == Changelog == = 1.0.0 = * Initial release. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0.0 = Initial public release.
