When React Grab fits better
- You need the file path and component name behind an element.
- You work in a React development build.
- You want to copy code context directly into an agent conversation.
When pinthread fits better
- Reviewers need shared conversations on hosted preview or live pages.
- Your site does not depend on React.
- Your agent should reply to and resolve hosted feedback threads.
Switch from React Grab
- Sign up free and create a project for your site.
- Paste the script tag into your shared layout.
- Add each address where your site runs in the project's Settings.
- Keep any copied source context you need. pinthread does not import React Grab context or provide its React component source mapping.
- Connect your agent. The agent guide has the setup for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
