Why add feedback to Carrd?
TellTide fits Carrd’s minimalism: one embed, one floating button, and every visitor comment lands in a private inbox you can check in a minute a day.
Step 1: Create a TellTide app and copy your App ID
Sign in to TellTide, open Apps, and create an app for your site. Set the App link to your public URL — in production, the widget only accepts submissions from pages on that hostname. Copy the App ID; every snippet below uses it.
Step 2: Add an Embed element with the script
In the Carrd editor, add an Embed element (Pro feature), set its type to Code, and paste the tag. Place the element anywhere — the launcher floats independent of the layout:
<script
src="https://telltide.com/src/widgets/widget.js"
data-app-id="YOUR_APP_ID"
></script>Step 3: Verify the feedback loop end to end
Open your site, click the TellTide launcher (bottom corner by default), and submit a test bug report. It should appear in your TellTide inbox within seconds. From there you can reply-triage privately, and later publish your first feature request to the public roadmap.
Good to know
- Embed elements require a Carrd Pro plan (Pro Standard or above).
- Set the App link to your Carrd domain — the yourthing.carrd.co address or your custom domain.
- For idea-validation pages, enable just the “feedback” and “feature request” categories in TellTide to keep the form ultra-short.
Common questions
Is a feedback widget overkill for a one-page site?
The opposite — a one-pager has no other listening channel. A floating feedback button converts curious visitors into concrete signal (“I’d pay if it did X”) without adding a second page or a mailing list.
Will the widget slow down my Carrd site?
No — the snippet loads a single small script at the end of the body, after your content renders. It does not block paint or affect your Core Web Vitals.
Is the feedback users send public?
No. Unlike board-first tools, everything arrives in a private inbox. Bug reports and reviews stay internal; you publish only chosen feature requests to a roadmap users can vote on.
How much does TellTide cost?
The free plan includes the widget, private inbox, API, and public roadmap for one app. Paid plans add unlimited apps and advanced features — pricing never scales with how many users you have.
