Use case
Visual bug reporting with Patchrooms
Stop describing bugs in prose. With visual bug reporting, your team clicks the broken element on the live app and Patchrooms captures everything the developer (or agent) needs to reproduce and fix it.
Open your first roomThe problem
Writing a bug report by hand is slow and lossy. "The dropdown is misaligned" rarely says which dropdown, on which page, in which state — so the fix takes longer and sometimes targets the wrong element entirely.
The workflow
-
Click the bug
A reviewer clicks the broken element directly on the live app — no need to describe where it is.
-
Patchrooms captures the context
It records a screenshot, the element selector, the page URL, and console state automatically.
-
Developer or agent fixes it
The report exports as Markdown with all the technical detail attached, so the fix is targeted instead of speculative.
Example
A QA tester finds a misaligned modal on staging. One click captures the modal selector, a screenshot, and the URL. The developer opens the report and fixes the exact element without asking "which modal?"
Agent-ready export
Every visual bug report exports with the selector, screenshot, URL, and console context — ready to paste into a coding agent or attach to a ticket.
A report exports as Markdown like this:
## Bug — Misaligned modal
- **Element:** `div.confirm-modal`
- **Comment:** Modal is offset ~24px to the right on desktop.
- **Screenshot:** blob/scr_41bd.png
- **URL:** https://staging.example.com/billing
- **Console:** no errors FAQ
- What does a visual bug report capture?
- A screenshot, the clicked element’s selector, the page URL, and console context — automatically, with no manual typing required.
- Can I use it on a live production app?
- Yes. The embed runs on any page you serve, including production, staging, or a preview build.
- Does it replace my issue tracker?
- It can feed one or stand alone. Reports export as Markdown you can paste into a tracker, a coding agent, or keep triaged in the Patchrooms dashboard.
