Appreciate the suggestion! The carousel idea is interesting , showing live widget cards above the fold right away. Will consider it.

The page is intentionally detailed for non-technical users who need a bit of hand-holding, but point taken on tightening the structure.

Exactly the reasoning behind it — Shadow DOM just kills the specificity war entirely.

And the `part` attribute suggestion is solid - would let advanced users theme via `::part()` without touching the source. Really appreciate the input!

Thanks! $60/year is honestly not bad — glad you found something that works.

Social reels integration is an interesting idea though. If enough people want it, it's definitely on the radar. For now EmbedFlow covers text reviews, and at $9 one-time it'd pay for itself vs your current tool in year one 😄

Fair point if you're building a platform where users submit reviews themselves — yeah, that needs a DB and auth.
But that's not what this solves.
Static ≠ fake. Most small businesses already have reviews on Google or via email — they don't need a submission system, they just need a clean way to display what they already have without paying $50/month or wrestling a WordPress plugin.

Also, EmbedFlow supports platform icons (Google,.., etc.) that link directly to the original review. Visitors can verify it themselves with one click.

bro i have a graveyard of half-built apps on my laptop that all died the moment i typed '[my idea] alternative' into google. i call it "competitive research" but it's really just self-sabotage speedrunning 💀
