Thanks for the hunt @robjama!
Hi everyone! I’m Valentin, one of the co-founders of Flowcast and we’re really excited to launch on Product Hunt. We started Flowcast because we wanted to make it really easy to give and get feedback on websites you’re working on.
We looked around and saw designers giving design feedback directly on top of designs with tools like inVision and developers giving code feedback directly on the code with things like GitHub. We decided to do the same thing for product teams working on websites.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on Flowcast, and we’re happy to answer any questions!
Also, to show our love for the Product Hunt community we’re giving 25% off to everyone that signs up today.
Flowcast has been super useful for getting feedback to web developers. It goes a step above Invision in that you can actually interact with, test and leave comments on a site whether it's in development, staging and production.
Loving the web app! It’s way more convenient; really glad to see you moved away from needing the Chrome extension. Why did you require it in the first place anyway?
@mimurchison Thanks Mike! We actually started off building a way to share your local host. When we decided to build out Flowcast in it’s current form we just kept building on top of it so it kinda stuck around. Once we got notes working well, we transitioned away from the extension as the main interface. It’s still around though if you wanna get feedback on a local site :)

Super happy to say i'm one of their first customers. This is how a design-noob like me can give useful feedback to my team.
Great idea, definitely looking for a product in this category, but I would love to see a bit more polish before paying for a service like this.
Edit: Seems like a very promising team & product!
@futhey Thanks James! I'd love to hear about any other things you'd like to see in the product. If you're up for a chat shoot me a note at valentin@flowca.st
As for the image you uploaded, we've been toying with a few different ways to make the sidebar better. We had the whole page move over at one point so nothing is ever behind it but that caused some issues so we're now working on another solution.
@futhey Great, I'll follow up :)
And we actually had that but a lot of people found it confusing :| We're pretty much reworking the sidebar currently, trying to find a better way to display that info.

This looks amazing. I'm so excited to use it with my clients.
@benjaminefox Thanks Ben! The link that's generated is unique and only people that have access to it can view the comments - you can also set a password. If you visit your regular site, Flowcast won't be active. Hope that answers your question :)
@futhey@benjaminefox Just to make sure, are you talking about the demo on our page? For that you just need to refresh the page. As for links you create through our app, you don't turn it off - we create a unique link that has the tools enabled and you can switch between View and Notes mode to interact with the page and to leave feedback respectively. Let me know if that answers your question.
