I built a one-question feedback tool because research tools cost more than my app makes
Description and use
Augur is a lightweight in‑app feedback module for React that asks a single question after key actions, records minimal context, and stores responses locally or in Supabase.
Problem
Need lightweight, cost‑free in‑app feedback to validate user experience without expensive research tools.
Outcome
Augur provides a single‑question, low‑friction feedback mechanism that captures essential context without reading user input, enabling solo developers to iterate quickly on UX.
Workflow
- Copy Augur folder into project or add via shadcn CLI
- Choose a store (LocalStore, SupabaseStore, HttpStore, or custom AugurStore)
- Configure triggers with caps (delay, max asks, dismisses, question text)
- Mount
<Augur>component with userId, store, and config - Emit events in code using augur.emit("eventName")
- Optional: mount
<AugurAdminSection>to view results and adjust settings
Evidence
It's a small module that lives inside your React app. It just sits there quietly, and a couple of seconds after someone does something that matters, it asks them one question.
It never reads what people type. No external assets, no fonts, no network calls of its own.
There's an optional admin section you mount behind your own route.
