Breadbugger vs Usero

Breadbugger is a bug tracking tool built for the pre-launch phase of a WordPress site — the moment when designers, QA, developers and clients walk through the site looking for issues before go-live. Three complementary surfaces: On-page floating widget — open the widget with a configurable keyboard shortcut, “pin” reports directly to the HTML element they refer to, attach screenshots captured on-the-fly from the browser. Clean admin list — manage every report from a compact full-screen view: filter by status, priority, author; sort manually with drag & drop; reply with inline notes. REST API for external clients — app-password gated endpoints to integrate your bug tracker with CLIs, AI coding assistants, or custom scripts. Key features Stable pin selectors — element selector built via a cascade: data-breadbugger-name (opt-in dev), then stable id, then semantic class, then positional CSS. Pins survive refactors. Configurable hotkey — press the keys to set your preferred combo, with browser/OS collision validation. Reporter / manager role model — assign who can open reports (reporter) and who can manage them all (manager) via custom capabilities on any WordPress role. Author filter + configurable visibility — managers can see and filter by author; reporters can optionally see only their own bugs. In-browser screenshots — automatic capture via getDisplayMedia (HTML2Canvas-Pro as a fallback for modern CSS like oklch / color-mix). Internationalized — Italian source, .po / .mo translations, .pot template ready for any language. Built-in feedback channel — settings form to send bug reports / feature requests / questions to the author via wp_mail. Branded email notifications — HTML emails for @mentions in notes and (optional) for new bugs and resolved bugs, with per-recipient frequency: all events, accorpate (timeout-based), daily digest, weekly digest, or none. Use case Client site pre-go-live: 5-10 people testing in parallel. Each one loads the site, opens the widget with a shortcut, pins the issue directly on the affected element. The PM / dev watches the admin list, sorts by priority, assigns fixes, marks resolved. Standalone. No external SaaS required. No data sent to third-party servers. Your bugs stay in your database.

Usero adds a feedback widget to your WordPress site. Visitors can submit ideas, bug reports, and feature requests without leaving the page. Submissions appear in a dashboard at usero.io, where you can triage, reply, and update statuses. Features Floating widget on every page, or inline via shortcode [usero_widget] or One inbox for incoming feedback, with search and filters Public roadmap page (optional) so visitors can see what is planned Voting, comments, and status updates GitHub issue sync Email notifications when feedback comes in Configurable widget position and accent color Works with any theme, no theme code edits required How it works Install and activate the plugin. Open Settings, Usero, and click Create my free account. The plugin creates a free account on usero.io (or logs into your existing one) using your admin email and a magic link. The widget appears on the front end. Submissions land in your usero.io dashboard. The plugin requires a connected usero.io account because feedback, voting, and the roadmap page are served from usero.io. A self-hosted version is not currently available. External services This plugin connects to one external service: the Usero API at usero.io. The widget runtime is bundled inside the plugin and is not loaded from a third-party CDN. Usero API (usero.io) The plugin connects to the Usero API at usero.io for the connection handshake, to load your dashboard, and to receive submitted feedback. It sends the following data: During the initial connect handshake (POST https://usero.io/api/wp/connect): your site URL, the admin email entered in the connect form, and a per-install site verification token. While the connect handshake is pending (GET https://usero.io/api/wp/handshake/status?token=...): the handshake token issued in the previous step. This is polled every two seconds until the admin clicks the magic link or the handshake expires. After connection, the widget script (bundled inside this plugin) submits feedback directly from the visitor’s browser to usero.io. The plugin itself does not send visitor data from the server.
