Bounce was a fun and easy way to share ideas on a webpage — a little app from ZURB that let people add feedback to any interface and toss it back and forth. We’ve taken everything we learned and built it into Helio: reach thousands of users on-demand, gain insights from real-time reports, and turn design opportunities into actionable feedback before lunch is over.
Try HelioA fun and easy way to share ideas on a webpage.
Bounce helped designers, teams, and even classrooms trade visual feedback when annotating a screenshot meant emailing a PSD around. It made giving great feedback fast and contextual — and inspired the products we build today. Get started with Helio to see how that idea has grown up.
Six simple steps got you from screenshot to shared feedback.
Type in the web page address and click the “Grab Screenshot” button. Bounce captured the page so you could mark it up in place.
Type the name you wanted to show on your notes. Once a bunch of different people’s notes were on a page, attribution kept everything clear.
Click anywhere on the screenshot, type what you wanted to say, then resize and reposition the note to highlight exactly the right thing.
Click “Save” in the top right corner to finalize the Bounce. (You needed at least one note to save a page.)
Copy the URL that appeared under “Share this feedback” and drop it anywhere — quick links to Facebook and Twitter sat right next to it.
The people you shared the page with could make their own notes, save them, and bounce the feedback right back to you.
Bounce traveled across the web (and around the world). Here’s what the press said about it.
“Bounce turns any website into a collaboration white board — giving you an interactive screenshot where you can highlight areas and then leave notes.”
“You enter a URL and it goes and grabs a screenshot, which can then be annotated with red rectangles and comments … They can add their own comments and so on.”
