Feedback capture from any webpage with source URL
Capture a request from the page where it came up, attach the voter immediately, and keep the source URL on the post so product sees the real context.
Why this can grow a startup
A lot of feedback shows up away from the formal portal: a LinkedIn thread, a docs page, a support ticket, or a sales tool. The problem is not hearing it. The problem is preserving the context once someone tries to log it. Canny's Chrome extension helps because the admin can add a post or vote from the live page, and the resulting vote keeps a reference to the original URL. That makes the backlog easier to trust later because the team can still inspect where the request came from instead of relying on somebody's cleaned-up summary.
Company example
Canny's Chrome extension lets admins create feedback, add a vote on someone's behalf, and include an internal comment from any website, while linking the vote back to the page URL where it was captured.

When to use it
Use this when Sales, Support, Product is relevant to feedback capture, context retention, voice of customer and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
