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`. Change colors, positioning, animations, and more to fit your project's design.",[85],"pulls","branches","forks","envVars",{"_99":35,"_219":35},"connections",{"_99":20,"_218":20},"unfilledCount","emptyCount",{"_28":207,"_13":85,"_71":84,"_38":-5,"_30":31,"_188":35,"_189":121,"_32":238,"_34":20,"_74":49,"_191":209,"_76":24,"_193":-5,"_226":239,"_160":240},{"_28":203,"_13":91,"_71":90,"_38":-5,"_30":31,"_188":35,"_189":121,"_32":235,"_34":20,"_74":49,"_191":205,"_76":24,"_193":-5,"_226":236,"_160":237},{"_28":199,"_13":103,"_71":102,"_38":-5,"_30":31,"_188":35,"_189":121,"_32":232,"_34":20,"_74":75,"_191":201,"_76":24,"_193":-5,"_226":233,"_160":234},{"_28":195,"_13":97,"_71":96,"_38":-5,"_30":31,"_188":35,"_189":121,"_32":229,"_34":20,"_74":98,"_191":197,"_76":24,"_193":-5,"_226":230,"_160":231},{"_28":187,"_13":73,"_71":72,"_38":-5,"_30":31,"_188":106,"_189":121,"_32":225,"_34":35,"_74":75,"_191":192,"_76":24,"_193":-5,"_226":227,"_160":228},["D",1752097660286],"children",[],[73],["D",1752097611588],[],[97],["D",1752097611588],[],[103],["D",1752097611588],[],[91],["D",1752097611588],[],[85],["D",1752097611588],{"_11":12,"_159":79},{"_11":12,"_155":-5,"_78":79,"_25":77,"_156":157,"_158":24},{"_34":106,"_13":16,"_28":31,"_144":111,"_145":-5,"_146":-5,"_147":148,"_149":150,"_151":152,"_153":14,"_154":12},"ctx",{"_47":-5,"_179":278,"_279":280,"_281":282,"_283":24,"_284":24,"_285":24,"_286":121,"_287":-5,"_288":-7,"_289":-7,"_290":20,"_291":24,"_292":24,"_293":-5,"_294":24,"_295":24,"_296":24,"_297":-5},"ENV",{"_249":250,"_251":252,"_253":16,"_254":255,"_256":257,"_258":259,"_260":261,"_262":263,"_264":265,"_266":267,"_268":269,"_270":271,"_272":273,"_274":275,"_276":277},"REACT_APP_SENTRY_DSN","https://586020d86f05489db63a554690acf1e9@o1398359.ingest.sentry.io/6724499","RENDER_GIT_COMMIT","fdb67791413f4386b4dbf18f354029a617f6160f","RENDER_GIT_BRANCH","POSTHOG_API_TOKEN","phc_nmoyuAkStEZuUp69rYlg1DZgrIt19Gx0Y4Hwf8tGgJP","POSTHOG_API_HOST","https://wart.val.town","WEB_API_TEMPLATE","https://{val}.web.val.run","APP_URL","https://www.val.town","MODULE_URL","https://esm.town","VANITY_WEB_API_TEMPLATE","https://{label}.val.run/","DENOLS_URL","https://lsp.val.town","NODE_ENV","production","CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY","0x4AAAAAACtaIZJH7s9rBMZ6","GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID","875989696899-jtsqkhlbdv5jrlsk8631p7ipjg3c6o62.apps.googleusercontent.com","STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY","pk_live_51N2zvWEpZTTLipIkVEwXrUG9AT0yeOOEYxszarZT1jpsZV58Ly6wlg3SltZpHN26CUalOBmUSY7adQRQiSkCZz2500qSXNkf8Y","API_URL","https://api.val.town",[],"preferencesKeybindings","default","preferencesTheme","light","preferencesFixers","preferencesCopilot","preferencesSelectionAi","preferencesCloseBrackets","preferencesChatPanelState","preferencesDprint","preferencesDenofmt","notificationCount","flagDenols","isBusinessOrgMember","businessOrgHandle","isBusinessOrgAdmin","isHigherTownieTier","navCollapsed","currentOrgId"]
