Best Feedback Widget for Supabase Apps
Best Feedback Widget for Supabase Apps - Complete setup guide with code examples. No backend required, works instantly.
Building on Supabase and need a quick way to collect user feedback?
You're in the right place. This guide shows you exactly how to add a feedback widget to your Supabase app in less than 5 minutes.
Why You Need Feedback in Supabase Apps
Supabase is perfect for rapid development. But once you ship, you need to know:
- ✓What bugs are your users hitting?
- ✓What features do they want next?
- ✓Are they satisfied with the product?
Building a feedback system from scratch means more database tables, more API endpoints, more frontend forms. That defeats the purpose of using Supabase for rapid development.

Step-by-Step Setup
▸Step 1: Create Your Project
- ✓Go to boosttoad.com
- ✓Sign up (free, no credit card)
- ✓Click "New Project"
- ✓Name it (e.g., "Supabase App Feedback")
- ✓Copy your Project ID
▸Step 2: Add the Widget
Add this script tag before </body>:
<script src="https://boosttoad.com/api/widget/bundle?projectId=YOUR_PROJECT_ID" async></script>Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your actual project ID from Step 1.
▸Step 3: Deploy
Deploy your app as normal. The widget works independently of Supabase:
- ✓No Supabase tables needed
- ✓No Supabase functions needed
- ✓No conflicts with your Supabase setup
Just deploy and the widget appears.
▸Step 4: Customize (Optional)
From your Boost Toad dashboard:
Appearance

Features

Supabase Integration Tips
▸Pass Supabase User Info
If you want to link feedback to Supabase users:
import { useUser } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-react'
function App() {
const user = useUser()
useEffect(() => {
if (user) {
window.FeedbackWidget?.init({
projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
user: {
email: user.email,
name: user.user_metadata?.name
}
})
}
}, [user])
}Now feedback includes user context from Supabase.

Clicking it opens a form where they can:
- ✓Choose feedback type (bug, feature, NPS)
