Client feedback without the account walls
Send clients a public URL they can open without creating an account. You walk the build, narrate what you want them to react to, publish a markdown review. They get the link. No proprietary viewer, no expiring share.
This page is for agencies and freelance teams handing builds to clients. The pattern works for any client review across the use cases for visual product feedback hub, but the client-facing constraints, no logins, no proprietary tools, no expiring links, are where it earns the most.
The problem
Client feedback breaks down at the handoff. You build something, send the client a Loom of you walking through it, and ask for thoughts. The client watches at 1.5x speed, types five sentences in an email, and half of them are about issues you already mentioned in the video. Or you send them a link to a tool they have to sign up for to leave comments. They sign up, leave two comments, never log in again. The third round, you send a Figma link. They cannot open it on mobile. They reply in email anyway.
The friction is the tool. Every layer of "you have to sign up / install / configure" is a layer that costs response time and depth of feedback.
The CobaltCapture workflow
Walk the build yourself first. Capture screen at cobaltcapture.com, pick the build window, crop to each screen you want the client to react to. Hit Dictate and narrate the question you want the client to answer: "Does this hero copy speak to your audience? Should the CTA be 'Get started' or 'Book a demo'?" Repeat for each decision point. Publish.
Send the client the URL. They click. They read. They reply with their thoughts, by email, by text, by whatever channel they already use with you. The artifact is the same regardless of how they reply: a structured review they all see the same way, with no accounts and no proprietary viewer.
What the output looks like
The output is markdown with embedded screenshots, public at a URL, readable on phone or desktop without auth:
# v2 homepage, review pass 3
Source: https://staging.acmeclient.com
We updated the hero per your last note. Does this speak to the founder
audience you mentioned? The "for teams who" structure tested better
than "for engineers," but happy to swap if the room feels different.
Added the annual/monthly toggle. The 20% off badge sits on the annual
option per your request. We can move it to the monthly column with a
different incentive if that maps better to how you're talking to leads.
The client opens the link, sees both screens with your questions next to them, and replies. The reply lands in your inbox or your Slack, it does not need to land back in a tool they had to sign up for.
Why this beats Loom or Pastel
Loom is great for showing. It is bad for asking specific questions about specific screens, because the client cannot easily reply to "what about the third item at 4:32." Screen capture to markdown splits the deck into discrete items the client can address one at a time.
Pastel and the comment-tool category are great when the client is going to do five rounds of reviews and you want a trail. They are bad when the client is a busy stakeholder who is going to do one round and then go quiet, because the trail is locked behind an account they will not sign up for, and the email reply they actually send never makes it into the tool.
CobaltCapture is the artifact, not the inbox. The client replies wherever feels natural. You hold the review URL as the canonical record of what was asked.
Who this is for
Agencies and freelancers presenting builds to clients. In-house teams handing off internal-tool demos to non-technical stakeholders. Anyone whose client review process has died in an email thread or a tool the client refused to learn. If your last round of feedback ended with "let me know what you think" and a Loom link, this is the artifact that gets you a real response instead.
