Component
Native Feedback Widget in Framer
This is a feedback widget born from the classic "I can't afford this" moment. When I realized Helpscout wanted $25/month for a little feedback widget on my site, I chose the path of the true Framer expert: building it myself for free. No code, no external tools, just pure native Framer magic.

About the resource
First off, I wanna mention that I documented my whole process of creating this component in Framer from scratch. If you're interested in that, check out the video above.
Now, let's see how you can use this component if you decide to just copy and paste it into your project.
Positioning
To make sure the component floats above the main content of the website, I wrapped it in a frame named Height:100dvh. I named it like this because I add a code override to it, which adjusts the frame's height based on its name. In our case, Height:100dvh means the frame will always take up 100% of the given viewport height. (Click here to read more about this solution and find the code override.)
This Height:100dvh frame is set to fixed positioning and pinned to the top, left, and right with zero values.

As you can see in the image above, the widget component is placed inside the Height:100dvh frame. It's got absolute positioning, using right and bottom pins with 24 values to stick it in the bottom right corner.
Quick tip: To make sure you can still interact with layers underneath the 100dvh frame, add "pointer events: none" to it, and also set its z-index to 10 so it's above everything else. Then, select the component inside and add "pointer events: auto" to that. This way, you can only interact with the widget inside the 100dvh frame.

Once you're done with this, you're all set. You can publish your site and start using the widget.
Don't forget, if you didn't get something, you can always remix the project file of this resource to see how everything's set up. Hope y'all like this. :)
