Firstly, what is Bojagi?

Bojagi is a communication tool that synchronises designer feedback directly into the front-end development workflow.

Learning from the standard code review process, Bojagi enables designers to contribute visual reviews based on the interactions of real web components, skipping the need for dedicated staging/QA/test environments.

How does Bojagi do this?

Bojagi integrates with GitHub, detecting changed components, and renders them live on the web. Components are ready for testing as soon as the developer creates a pull request on GitHub. Designers, product managers, or QA engineers can interact with these new components to approve them or leave constructive feedback.

With Bojagi, designers are empowered to provide critical feedback within the software development lifecycle, speeding up feedback loops overall:

Bojagi allows designers to provide feedback sooner

A full list of implemented components, varied in their complexity, can be inspected and commented on.

Annotate + Comment

Place yourself in the following scenario: As a designer, my developer has shared a Bojagi link with me, containing all of the changed components that I should provide feedback on. But wait, I see an error! Let’s give them a heads up that the Button component needs a bit of love.

Approval

Great news, all of the components are looking great! Let’s inform the developer that these components are ready from a UI/UX point of view. We can approve the components directly in Bojagi.

The approval is automatically synchronised with GitHub, so there’s no need to ping the developer directly.
