How Atarim Supports Frontend Developers
1. Centralized Design Collaboration
Atarim provides developers with a unified platform to access and act on feedback directly tied to designs or live websites.
- Visual Collaboration Tools: Developers can view feedback as tasks pinned to specific areas of a design or webpage.
- Annotations and Screenshots: Each task includes automated screenshots, giving developers precise visual references for implementation.
Example: Dan sees a task on a misaligned button, complete with a screenshot and description, ensuring he knows exactly what needs adjustment.
2. Simplified Task Management
Atarim converts all feedback into manageable tasks, ensuring clarity and organization.
- Task Integration: Each comment or feedback is automatically turned into a task with a clear description and visual context.
- Kanban Boards: Tasks are organized in boards to track their status, priority, and progress.
Example: Dan uses the board view to track tasks like “Fix alignment issue on the homepage” and “Update button hover effect,” ensuring nothing is missed.
3. Responsive Design Alignment
Ensuring design consistency across devices is easier with Atarim’s Responsive Mode.
- Device-Specific Feedback: Test designs on desktop, tablet, and mobile views and resolve issues specific to each breakpoint.
- Visual Consistency: Developers can toggle between views to ensure designs match expectations across all devices.
Example: Dan adjusts the padding on mobile view after receiving feedback about overlapping elements, ensuring responsiveness.
4. Direct Development Feedback
Atarim’s browser-based feedback tools streamline the process of accessing and acting on feedback.
- Chrome Extension: Developers can see feedback directly on staging or live websites.
- Inline Feedback: Comments and tasks are tied to specific elements like images or buttons, ensuring precision in implementation.
Example: A stakeholder leaves a comment directly on a live banner image requesting a color change. Dan addresses the feedback without needing to refer back to separate emails or tools.
5. Integration with Design Tools
Atarim seamlessly bridges design and development workflows.
- Image Collaboration: Work with static mockups and compare design versions to track changes.
- Design States: Access screenshots of interactive elements like modals or hover states for clarity on functionality.
Example: Dan references a designer’s uploaded hover state to implement the exact transition effect requested.
6. Streamlined Communication
Atarim enhances collaboration between developers, designers, and stakeholders.
- Email Notifications: Receive alerts for new tasks or updates, ensuring timely responses.
- Task Comments: Discuss tasks directly with designers and project managers for clarifications.
Example: Dan adds a comment to a task to confirm the exact dimensions of a carousel image before implementation.
7. Proactive Quality Assurance
Atarim helps developers ensure no detail is overlooked during development.
- QA Workflow: Use milestones and statuses to track task completion and feedback loops.
- Internal Notes: Add private notes to tasks for internal discussions or reminders.
Example: Dan adds a private note to a task reminding himself to test browser compatibility before marking it complete.
