Actually I finally chose the name because the HTML fallback URL ends up being http://reportaproblem.at/yourservice

Could you elaborate on what you mean by removing the HTML snippet from my page? The problem ends up being reported to the e-mail address you enter when signing up. reportaproblem is just the delivery mechanism of feedback.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm saying that people that understand what an "HTML Snippet" is and how to implement it are likely not your target market.

Well that's the question. I personally find it very appealing to just quickly add a link to a page and then have the benefit of getting problem reports, rather than having to implement that popover myself.

I think the commenter is referring to the terminology "HTML snippet" not the concept of it.

Yes exactly. I'm sorry I was not more clear. The phrase "HTML Snippet" may turn some people away if they don't immediately understand it, and those that do understand it will often not be your target market.

as a suggestion: i think its save to use the term plugin or widget nowdays?

I like the name. You might want to also grab the .com or .co if you can just to make it easier for people to find you.
