This is what my thought process was, but I’ve heard mixed responses. A lot of people are more familiar with outreach through E-mail vs LinkedIn, so LinkedIn can feel off-putting.


Hi HN,

I started working on this product after experiencing the pain of a back-and-forth review process when working on front-end changes as a software engineer in remote teams.

Pageblox solves this by creating a single source of truth for these reviews in a real-time, collaborative environment.

It's an open-source project, and I'd love to get as much feedback as possible. Thanks!


Pageblox was built based on my experience as a front-end engineer in remote/hybrid product teams.

UX/UI review processes usually involve meetings, back-and-forths through e-mail/slack, and filing issues through Jira/Linear/etc. This process takes quite a bit of time and is convoluted, causing release delays, uncaught bugs, and poor documentation.

Pageblox is a platform that exists directly on the browser, so stakeholders can add comments directly on the app and engage in high-quality reviews. Support for integrations to Jira, Linear, Slack, etc. is coming up!

Try it out and send any feedback our way!


This is a good callout, and I thought about this as I was trying to address the mobile view.

I'll add a toggle to help differentiate and populate comments from mobile/web views.


Great suggestions! A lot of these speak to UX polish which will be addressed.

Yeah #5 was on my list, definitely helps to facilitate conversations.

For #3 & 4, what problems would this help solve? I thought about adding some canvas shapes, but it feels like a nice feature that doesn't solve a clear problem. Sometimes, shapes might take away from the simplicity of tagging comments on the existing UI.


my bad folks - try now. It should work.


This is great advice, thank you! Gave me a lot to think about on finding a co-founder and how I can still be a technical CEO.


Hey mtmail,

Sorry about that - I changed the title, so it's not "Show HN". Thought it was ok because my prototype was linked at the bottom of the post.

And just removed the calendly link, forgot to get rid of that - now it just accepts an email so I can reach out to those interested.

Thanks!
