Add a feedback widget to an existing Laravel app and end up with a queryable inbox, with automatic technical context and no design work.

The goal for this post is small. Adding a feedback widget to your Laravel app, having a queryable inbox of reports sitting in your own database. No design work, no third-party service, no schema you have to write yourself.

The package doing the work is Wirebug. It drops a widget into your app that lets users report a bug, a suggestion or anything else, attaches an optional screenshot or screen recording, and collects the technical context automatically. Every report is a plain Eloquent row you can read however you like.

How to install

Wirebug is a Composer package, and it registers its own migration, so there is nothing to publish before you can run it.
