Copy `feedbackWidget.ts` into your project\n2. Import and use in your main entry point:\n\n```typescript\nimport { renderFeedbackWidget, handleFeedbackSubmission } from \"./feedbackWidget.ts\";\n\n// Add to your HTML template\nconst html = `\n \n \n ${renderFeedbackWidget()}\n \n`;\n\n// Add feedback route\napp.post(\"/feedback\", async (c) => {\n return await handleFeedbackSubmission(c.req.raw, import.meta.url);\n});\n```\n\n3. Create a `feedback.md` file in your project root\n\nThat's it! Users can now submit feedback through the widget.\n\n## Project Structure\n\n- `feedbackWidget.ts` - The reusable widget library\n- `index.ts` - Demo implementation \n- `feedback.md` - Where feedback gets stored\n- `README.md` - This file\n\n## Demo\n\nVisit the live demo to see the widget in action: [Demo Link](https://dcm31--6ed59f4e5b9411f09f2bf69ea79377d9.web.val.run)\n\n## Customization\n\nThe widget can be easily customized by modifying the CSS in `feedbackWidget.ts`.
