Use case

UI review with Patchrooms

A collaborative layer for reviewing UI previews — design-system components, new features, redesigns. Instead of five Slack messages describing a layout, mark it up directly on the preview.

The problem

UI feedback in chat is hard to act on: it is unanchored, it scrolls away, and the status of each comment is invisible. Reviewers repeat themselves and developers lose track of what is resolved.

The workflow

  1. Open the preview

    Share the preview link with reviewers. Patchrooms is embedded and ready — no account needed for them.

  2. Annotate components in place

    Reviewers click components and leave comments anchored to the exact element with a screenshot.

  3. Track to resolution

    Each comment has a status (new, triaged, in-progress, closed) so the team sees what is left.

Example

A designer reviews a new settings page. They click the toggle row and note the spacing is too tight, then click the save bar and flag the contrast. Both comments live on the page with statuses the developer updates as they ship.

Agent-ready export

UI review comments export as Markdown with selectors and screenshots, so a coding agent can apply the design changes precisely — or a developer can pick them up directly.

A report exports as Markdown like this:

## UI review — Settings page
- **Element:** `tr.toggle-row`
- **Comment:** Row padding is too tight; bump vertical spacing.
- **Element:** `div.save-bar`
- **Comment:** Button contrast fails on the muted background.
- **Screenshot:** blob/scr_77c0.png

FAQ

Can multiple people review the same UI at once?
Yes. Anyone with the preview link can add comments, and every comment is anchored to a specific element with a tracked status.
Does it work on component-only previews?
Yes. It targets DOM elements on the rendered page, so a single component preview, a Storybook story, or a full page all work.
