Edit any website right on the page and save changes to code

I made Codebird because I was frustrated with having to make text changes on our website manually by editing code. It's a github app and browser extension that allows anyone in your team select and edit text, images and links right on your website or app.

Hi there 👋 I made Codebird to solve a frustration I was experiencing daily at my day job as CTO at Deedmob. People in marketing and product would create asana tasks for small text changes to our website almost daily, and implementing these changes always felt like a chore, particularly because it involved finding the text, changing it, creating a branch and then a pull request. For many teams like ours integrating a content management system to manage text would have too many limitations and it would still be a pain to find and change text. I believe everyone in a product team should be able to contribute to improving the product, and a part of creating that culture is removing the friction in contributing. The current version is a step towards a product development cycle where engineers aren't always needed as a translator between tasks and the product. Thank you for taking an interest in Codebird and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have below 🙂

Looks good David. I've had the same problems with clients wanting to make changes right on the website for best ease... This could work well! Would this need to be owned and approved or installed by the developer to let the clients make the changes? Or would anyone be able to add the Codebird plugin and make changes to their website?

@dianaoyaga Thanks Diana! Currently it needs to be setup with someone who has access to the git repository containing the code, and thats usually a developer. It currently only suggests changes to developers and these need to be approved by the developers, however in the future it might be an option to allow people to make changes directly without a review step.

@david_furlong sounds very useful. Good luck.

This solves such an annoying problem for me as a PM - I won't have to be the go-between to communicate and prioritise marketing copy changes
