Get contextual feedback on your deployed Softgen app

Q: How does Softgen publish a web app?

Softgen documents a dashboard flow with Deploy with Vercel and a one-click Publish flow that performs an automatic deployment and returns a live URL.

Q: Can a Softgen app use a custom domain?

Yes. Softgen requires a deployed project and a domain you own and can manage. It documents manual DNS configuration or management through the Vercel dashboard.

Q: How long can Softgen domain propagation take?

Softgen says DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours and recommends verifying the connection and testing the site on the new domain.

Q: Can teammates work on a Softgen project?

Yes. A project owner can invite members from the Team section. Invited members can access and work on the projects to which they were invited.

Q: Does Softgen provide GitHub access?

Softgen documents inviting your GitHub username as a repository collaborator, then accepting the invitation to clone and work with the project repository.

Q: Can BugSmash bypass an app login?

No. A pasted URL does not bypass application login or authentication. Use the Feedback Widget inside an authorized session when the rendered frontend permits the script.

Q: Does BugSmash deploy or configure Softgen?

No. Softgen and Vercel continue to control deployment and domains, while Softgen and GitHub control project and source access. BugSmash records feedback on an accessible browser surface.

Paste the browser-accessible live URL, send one review link, and collect contextual comments on the web app your users will open.

Softgen building, team access, source control, and deployment are separate surfaces.

Softgen builds web apps from natural-language requests and documents Vercel deployment, custom domains, team collaboration, and GitHub access as distinct workflows.

Four documented boundaries matter before review:

Deployment creates the reviewable browser URL.
Softgen documents Deploy with Vercel from the project dashboard and a Publish action that automatically deploys the project and returns a live URL.
A custom domain requires a deployed project.
Softgen lists a deployed project and a domain you own and can manage as prerequisites. DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours.
Team membership controls builder access.
Project owners invite people from the Team section. Invited members can work only on projects they are invited to, while owners manage membership.
GitHub access is a source-code workflow.
Softgen documents inviting your GitHub account as a repository collaborator so you can clone the project, track changes, and manage the repository.

BugSmash keeps external review on the deployed browser result:

share the intended live URL, keep Softgen and GitHub access with the build team, and use the Feedback Widget only when the script can be installed inside a gated application flow.

How it works

Three steps to a reviewed Softgen release

Deploy the intended version

Use Deploy with Vercel or Publish, then open the resulting live project URL or connected custom domain in a browser.

Send one BugSmash link

Paste that accessible URL into BugSmash and share the generated review link with clients, product stakeholders, or QA.

Update and verify the release

Apply approved changes in Softgen or the connected GitHub workflow, deploy the intended revision, and verify the live browser result.

Review the deployed Softgen web experience

Comment on the live interface

Attach feedback to the exact page and visible element in the deployed web app.

Review the Vercel deployment

Use the live project URL produced by the documented Vercel deployment workflow.

Cover a connected custom domain

Review the owned domain after DNS propagation completes and the deployed site opens correctly.

Check responsive behavior

Review desktop, tablet, and mobile viewport sizes while preserving the selected viewport with each comment.

Capture technical context

Keep the page URL, screenshot, browser, operating system, viewport, and available console details with each website report.

Use the widget for gated flows

When the rendered frontend permits the BugSmash script, collect feedback inside an authorized signed-in or stateful application session.

Which Softgen URL should I review?

Use a deployed live project URL or connected custom domain. Softgen team access and GitHub repository access do not themselves create a visitor-facing review URL.

Your URL	Review by URL	What to do
Live URL from Softgen Publish	Works	Paste the live project URL returned after the automatic deployment completes.
Softgen project deployed with Vercel	Works	Use the visitor-facing Vercel deployment URL after confirming the intended revision is live.
Connected custom domain	Works when connected	Use the domain after DNS propagation and verify that it opens the deployed project.
Softgen project dashboard	Builder surface	Deploy the project and share its live URL instead of the private project workspace.
GitHub repository or local checkout	Source surface	Run and deploy the application; source access is separate from browser-based website review.
App page behind login	Use the Widget	A pasted URL does not bypass application login or authentication. Use the Feedback Widget inside an authorized session when the script can be installed.

Using the Feedback Widget on a Softgen app

Where the deployed frontend permits the BugSmash script, use the widget for an authorized reviewer inside a signed-in, personalized, or stateful flow. The application still controls authentication and data access.
