Use cases / CMS & blogs

One copy-paste. No developer, no plugin.

If your CMS lets you embed a video, it can run this. Paste one iframe snippet into a post and readers can tell you whether the page did its job - anonymously, in a single tap.

Why this usually doesn't happen

Most content teams don't skip feedback. They lose the install.

The usual path to a feedback tool runs through a script tag, which runs through whoever owns the site, which runs through a release window and a security review and a privacy review. Each step is reasonable. Together they are why a content team that wanted reader feedback in March still doesn't have it in September.

Meanwhile the content keeps shipping, and the only way anyone finds out a guide is out of date is when someone eventually complains somewhere else.

Install

Three steps, none of which need engineering time

1. Copy the snippet

One embed snippet per page, or a site-wide default survey that new pages pick up on their own. It's a standard iframe, so there's no plugin to install and nothing platform-specific to configure.

2. Paste it into the post

Wherever your editor accepts an embed. The card sizes itself to sit inside article body content on mobile and desktop, and being in its own frame means it can't collide with your site's CSS or JavaScript.

3. Publish, and leave draft mode on first

New pages start in draft mode, so your own test answers stay out of the results you eventually report on.

What you get back

A maintenance queue, ranked by readers

Results come back per page and grouped by theme. You see whether readers found the page useful, and whatever they wrote in the optional comment. That's the whole survey, since a survey is capped at two questions.

For a documentation set or a content library, that's the closest thing to a reader-generated backlog. The useful-rate tells you which of four hundred posts to look at first, and the comments underneath tell you whether the page is out of date or just unclear, which are different jobs for different people.

Common questions

Installing on your CMS, answered

Which CMS platforms does this work with?

Any platform that lets you paste an iframe into a page or post. That covers most hosted and self-hosted CMSs, static site generators, docs platforms and website builders. There's no plugin to install and no platform-specific integration to wait for, because the embed is standard HTML.

Is there a WordPress plugin?

Not today - and you don't need one to run the widget on WordPress. You paste the iframe snippet into a post or template the same way you would embed anything else. A plugin isn't on the current scope.

Do I have to add it to every post by hand?

Only if you want per-post control. You can set a site-wide default survey instead, so new pages carry the widget without anyone remembering to paste anything.

Will it slow the page down or break the layout?

It's a self-contained iframe card sized to sit inside article body content, on mobile and desktop. Because it's isolated in its own frame, it doesn't inherit or interfere with your page's CSS and JavaScript - which is also why there's nothing for it to break.

What about cookie banners and consent?

The widget stores no names, email addresses, IP addresses or device fingerprints, and it is hosted in the EU. There is no visitor profile behind a response. That is what keeps it out of most of the consent machinery a tracking-based feedback tool brings with it - though as with any embed, check it against your own privacy notice.

How long does this take to set up?

About as long as embedding a video. Create the survey in TrueSignal, copy the snippet, paste it into a post or your article template. There is no integration to schedule, nothing to deploy, and no change to your build.
