Simple Commenter is a lightweight, visual feedback tool your clients will actually use without a single complaint. It masterfully balances powerful features for developers and agencies with a user experience so simple that it’s virtually foolproof for clients.
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
I’m Aleksander, the creator of Simple Commenter.
For five years, I worked as a web specialist at Johnson & Johnson. During that time, I consistently encountered the same challenge: gathering clear feedback from brand teams proved surprisingly difficult. We relied on PDFs, endless email threads, and meetings that often created more confusion than clarity. It slowed projects, caused miscommunications, and even created compliance risks.
One day, while riding my motorcycle, the idea struck me: What if leaving comments on a live site instead of scribbling on a PDF—but without all the extra steps? That’s how Simple Commenter was born.
👉 Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Add a tiny script to your site—it only takes a minute.
2️⃣ Your clients (even the non-technical ones) can simply click and leave precise, contextual comments right on your live website.
3️⃣ You can review feedback directly on the site OR manage everything in the dashboard.
4️⃣ Notifications make sure you never miss a new comment, reply, or resolution.
5️⃣ Want to streamline it further? Integrate feedback into tools like Trello, Slack, and Jira.
You can test out the tool on the www.simplecommenter.com website.
We also have an active Discord community, where you can request features, report bugs, and even help shape the future of the tool together with us. It’s where many of our best ideas originate.

Thank you so much for giving Simple Commenter a try 🙏

This addresses a universal pain point. The back-and-forth over email and PDF markups is incredibly inefficient. Giving clients a one-click way to leave comments directly on the live site is such a logical solution. It removes the ambiguity of trying to describe where an issue is. The script installation seems straightforward enough. Well done.
Congrats on the launch! Simple Commenter is a game changer for client feedback.
Wow this looks really cool! I'm impressed by how you've created such a clean commenting interface. How does the moderation tool work? Is it easy for users to manage their comments?
I've seen discussions where people are frustrated that their readers can't easily leave comments. It’s such a common issue.
If you're looking to connect with online communities, there are lots of conversations happening around this challenge. People really need a solution like yours!
Has been working great for simple workflows. Easy-peezy. No need to get clients to sign-up to another platform. Everything is marked-up right on their sites. Can be easily hidden behind a login.
simple Commenter has been a huge help for my business. The name says it all. especially "simple" I've tried similar products in the past and they end up being too confusing and then my clients wont use it. Not the case with Simple Commenter. One of the best solutions I've ever bought.
A great solution👍
I've been using it for a relatively short time, but it's changed my perspective on providing feedback, for example, when creating websites or landing pages.
Another interesting, though still experimental, solution is commenting on files (images, PDFs). I haven't tested this yet and haven't had a chance to use it in my work.
The solution looks promising.
Getting website edits from clients can often be time-consuming and awkward, for both my clients and me. Simple Commenter completely removes that friction. It’s easy to use, and, as one client said, the process can even be fun!
The platform is incredibly flexible. Clients can make edits to text and brand assets directly on the website before launch, which is a total game-changer — goodbye to endless Google Docs and emails! The dashboard is also a lifesaver: I can see at a glance what edits need doing, and once completed, I just click “resolve.”
On top of all that, Ander, the owner, is incredibly helpful. Simple Commenter solves what is often a fiddly stage of web design, all at a fair price. For me, it’s a total win all around. Thanks, Ander!
This product is outstanding. As a website developer, working since 1999, Simple Commenter works flawlessly by allowing my clients to easily visit their site, log into Simple Commenter (for security, which is optional), and click exactly on the item or area that they want to give me feedback on. It's amazing. My clients love it for the simplicity. I love it because it keeps everything in one place and gets rid of the problem with people trying to describe "where" on the website that they want something changed or added, etc. If you aren't using it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. I'm sure you'll find it to be one of your primary tools. Keep up the good work Aleksander. I'm loving Simple Commenter. -Gary Gordon
My developers love this tool - half the battle is getting the client to clearly state what they want.
Good idea! getting user feedback quickly has always been important, but many people ignore the large number of new users on their official website.
Congrats on the launch! This interactive, instant customer feedback tool is a game changer! Product managers and developers can better understand the specific needs of customers.
Been needing a tool like this for client feedbacks that dont complicate things. Hope the integration is as smooth as claims.
I think that my friends I connected with here on PH and later met on Websummit in Lisbon created something like that. Since then, I haven't seen tools like that so much. I like how you implemented it directly for use on your website! :)
Simple, lightweight, and effective. Just hope the permission documentation could be clearer.
I purchased Simple Commenter in its early stages, and I’m truly impressed with how far it has come. It makes gathering customer feedback effortless and eliminates the need for long back-and-forth emails. Customers can easily highlight the areas that need fixing, and I can address them right away. No delays, no missed emails just smooth communication. I highly recommend this tool.
Amazing tool. I have used quite a few similar ones, but all of them missed the mark for me (e.g. too many bugs, missing features or simply too complex for my use case).
I was so happy to discover Simple Commenter; it ticks all the boxes for me and has become my go-to tool for collecting client feedback on my website projects. It's easy to set up, easy to use, no frills, plus the dev is clearly passionate about his product. Highly recommended!
