One thing I hated in QA as a designer: repeating myself.
Every round, I'd flag the same issues again because they werent tracked properly.
That's why in @BridgeQA , comments stay tied to the page until they are marked Done.
No matter how many time you need to review the same link, as long as you use the same Figma frame, the comments will NEVER get lost.
Thank me later.
While building @BridgeQA I have a co-founder I can completely trust. Someone who shares the fight, the late nights, the endless debate.
After my past experiences, I can't overstate how mcuh it matters to know someone truly has your back.
I didn't just wake up one morning with a startup idea.
It was years of working with design leadership and watching the same problems repeat themselves day after day.
Eventually, I stopped waiting for someone else to solve them.
That's how @BridgeQA was born. The tools I always wished existed.
Every company I worked for, big or small, had the same QA mess:
- Screenshots scattered everywhere
- Feedback hidden in multiple files and tools
- Priorities and tracking of feedback lost after the review sessions.
Designers hate it. Developers hate it. PMs hate it. Yet somehow, we kept doing it.
How do you tackle this problem as designer or developer?
I want to share this for anyone else that needs to hear it. Embrace the challenges, the hard times, and the bad people in your career. Everything will make you stronger.
I once poured 4 years of my life into someone else startup, happily at the time. I designed, I brainstormed, I gave it everything and more.
One day, they told me they run out of money and let me go. That's fair and it happens. I was ready for it.
What I was not ready for, was being ghosted. No goodbye, no thank you. Just silence from then on.
That hurt me more than losing the job.
But it thought me 2 things:
- Some founders don't know how to treat people.
- And maybe my place wasn't in someone else's startup after all.
I didn't know it then, but that moment planted the seed for what I'm building today!
I'm excited to share that @BridgeQA is finally LIVE!
I started building BridgeQA few months ago with my partner, when I kept encountering the same problem over and over with every team I was working with: reviewing live builds was a pain.
Feedback is scattered and lost, and it's hard to keep track of changes. So with BridgeQA you can compare, review and track progress in the browser, on the live page where you work.
Want to give it a try? Early access is ready and you can get all the PRO features for free while we are in Beta.

This is something I'm working on a lot as a designer: building trust towards AI. I'm particularly interested in why people don't trust it (rhetorically) and what can be done to improve this feeling. Here is an interesting piece of research about it: Evaluating Trust in AI, Human, and Co-produced Feedback Among Undergraduate Students https://t.co/hZXlyGE1oJ
Thanks @JViertelBTG, we aim to offer quick and all in one place design to dev feedback. So, while you are visiting the live page, you can compare it immediately to the Figma frame you want and leave comments on the page directly.
We want to remove the tedious back and forth of reviewing live builds that currently involves slack message, screenshots in word docs or Figma. So no more feedback scattered around, but instead, it's just right where you need it. And most importantly, the difficult task of tracking the feedback accurately, for example what has been action, when and by who.
If you'd like to try it out feel free to register for early access and I'll let you know when we go live with the free Beta!
Finally finished part 1 of building @BridgeQA
One step closer to be able to ship the Beta!!
Demo video coming Monday with the latest features!
It feels amazing to build a tool that will change the way designers and developers deal with QA! 🥳
Happy weekend!
@dishashah66@BridgeQA Thank you @dishashah66 I'd love to have your feedback once we release. If you'd like to try it out early, it'd be great if you could sign up for early access so I can let you know when it's ready!
@NULLpointerXL Daily 🥳 we built @BridgeQA to solve real problems we constantly face as a designer/dev duo on a daily basis. Constantly loosing track of feedback and working in a multitude of apps and tools. Website QA should happen in the browser where we already work! So we made it happen ☺️
I'm super excited with the latest progress we have made with @BridgeQA! This has been in the works for a little while now, but I cannot wait to launch this amazing tool very soon!
If you also struggle with tracking design QA make sure to sign up for early access! https://t.co/TKeqlIuuTV
Why BridgeQA? Paste a Figma link and watch your mock-up snap over the live page. Screenshot, drop a comment: ✅done! All inside your browser. Keep track of all your feedback, right where you already work.
Beta doors open soon: free early access → https://t.co/FdwhI3LgsC
