What is ruttl?

ruttl is a website feedback tool for live websites. Just like Invision which is a feedback tool for static websites, ruttl allows you to review live links or staging links.

Currently, in order to review developed websites, people take screenshots and encircle the issues, and share a word doc with the developer. Alternatively, they just sit with the developers and ask them to make the changes. But these processes are very tedious and time taking. On an average, a single page takes around 3-4 hours to review, and still, the final output is just close to perfection. That’s why we created ruttl.

ruttl allows you to leave comments on live websites and make real time edits so you can give precise, contextual feedback to your team. It allows you to leave comments on live websites and make real time edits such as content changes, text alignments, image replacements, position change of web elements, change in font properties, change in background colours, change in button shape and its properties, switch between desktop and mobile mode etc.

Navigate your ruttl project

2. If you have loaded any webpage from your project, simply hover to the top left position and click on the ‘Pages’ button. This button will also indicate the number of pages added to this project.

Inviting users

There are two ways to invite other users to your project:

1. Inviting via email ID of another user (login required from another user too) - Hover on the card of the project which you would like to share. On the top right, click on the Share button. A pop-up window will appear. In this pop-up, enter the email address of the user whom you want to invite, select the level of access (View, Comment or Edit) and then send invite. The user will receive an Invite email, and with this email, the user will be able to access your ruttl project.
2. Inviting via project’s shareable link (login not required for sharing in View mode by default, but required for Comment or Edit modes) - Suppose you wish to invite your client to this project, but in most cases, your client would not prefer logging in to any platform just to see the progress. Hence, we have created this shareable link mode, with the help of which, your client will be able to see all the progress on the webpage, without any login. To do so, click on share either from inside the project (top right corner), inside the webpage (left side of the bottom bar), or on the main home dashboard (top right corner of project card). Once the share pop-up opens, toggle the Shareability to ‘On’ position and then copy the link. Sharing this link will enable your client to look at all the project communications and project edits directly without any login.
