Senja
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
Collecting and showing testimonials: a form that takes text or video, a library of what came in, and embeddable walls and widgets for your site.
Build me a testimonial collector and wall. STACK - Astro with a Node adapter, SQLite, S3-compatible storage for media COLLECTING - A public form: name, role, company, text, optional photo, optional video - A signed one-time link per request, so you know who a testimonial came from - Explicit consent checkbox with the exact wording stored alongside the row — this is a permission you may need to prove VIDEO, IF YOU WANT IT - MediaRecorder in the browser, capped at 90 seconds, uploaded directly to storage with a presigned URL - Transcode with ffmpeg in a worker; keep the original APPROVING - Nothing is public until approved; approval is a state change, appended not overwritten THE WALL - A static build from approved rows: a masonry grid, a single-quote widget, and a marquee - Embeddable as an iframe with a fixed height, and as a script that writes the markup inline Include the schema, the consent record and the three layouts.
What you lose
- In-browser video recording with transcoding and captions, which is the part that would take the longest
- Import of reviews from other platforms
- A dozen embeddable layouts already designed and responsive
If you would rather not build
- A form plus a static grid, which is most of the product
- Testimonial.to, for the hosted version
