Getting started
WebPinch is a visual feedback tool. You pin issues directly on a webpage — coordinates and screenshot included — and they land in a kanban board where you triage, assign, and resolve them. This page walks you from sign-up to your first task.
Sign up
/auth/signup supports two account types and two providers.
| Account type | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Individual | Solo work, side projects. Free plan included. |
| Organization | Working with a team. You’ll choose a URL-friendly slug (e.g. acme) at signup; the org becomes your billable entity. |
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| One-click via Google OAuth | |
| Email + password | Minimum 8 characters. Email/password is also the only option to log in once you have a credentials account |
You can create an org later from your profile if you start as an individual.
Your first dashboard
Right after signup you land on /dashboard. The empty state shows:
- A greeting with your plan badge (Free by default)
- Stats row: Total Projects · Tasks Completed · In Progress · Overdue (all zeros until you create work)
- Recent projects (empty)
- Quick actions: New Project, New Organization
Nothing is auto-created. Click New Project to start.
Pick a workflow
WebPinch supports three ways to get tasks into your board. Pick whichever fits your situation — they all work together.
| Workflow | Best for | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Browser extension | Internal team using WebPinch on lots of sites | Chrome install + project guest token |
| Visual review link | Sharing a clickable feedback page with a client/QA tester | Just a URL — no install, no account for reviewers |
| Standalone dashboard | Manually entered work — meetings, audits, things not tied to a specific URL | Just the dashboard |
A 5-minute first run
Create a project
Dashboard → New Project. Required: a name. Optional but recommended: the website URL the project tracks (this unlocks site audits and is the default page for visual review).
Pick a color and a priority — these are just visual aids. The project lands on a kanban board with four default columns: Backlog, In Progress, In Review, Done.
Get your guest token
Open Project Settings. Copy the Extension Token — you’ll paste this into the extension or share it as part of a review link. (This is the project guest token, not the personal access token from /dashboard/settings/api. See API tokens for the difference.)
Submit your first issue
Easiest path: open /review/<your-token> in any browser tab. The page loads in an iframe; click anywhere on it to drop a pin, fill title + description, submit.
Refresh the dashboard board — your task is in Backlog.
Triage it
Drag the task between columns to change status. Open the task to add labels, assign someone, or set a due date.
Add a teammate (optional)
Org projects only. Invite by email from Dashboard → your org → Members. Personal projects are solo by design — to collaborate, move the project under an org.
