Designers attach comments to DOM elements in the Review App - Visual review feature (MVC)
Problem to solve
When I'm looking at my staged app, I want to be able to attach comments to DOM elements so I can easily create MR comments that align to what was built.
Intended users
Further details
This contributes to the greater problem we found of it not being easy to compare the Engineer's work to the Design and the back and forth of Developer/Designer Workflow 2.
Proposal
- For this solution validation, we decided to try a popular visual feedback tool and test with GitLab Product Designers to see if this would be useful
- We showed to 5 designers and got their feedback
Execution of the research
- Describe to the participant that you would be using this functionality within GitLab Review Apps
- Showed a live demo of usepastel.com (see screens)
- Got real-time feedback about whether this would be useful
5 GitLab Product Designers participated: Notes
✅
Outcome: Validated - 5/5 wanted to see this functionality in Review Apps
- Implementation issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216325
