Hello!
Feedback is the key to personal growth. It reveals our blind spots and helps us discover what we've been doing right or wrong.
It can also be frustrating.
People have a hard time separating the impression they have of you from your actual behavior. So, more often than not, you get feedback that's conflicting or confusing.
That's why I spent the last 2 months investigating the art of feedback. I wanted to know what the best feedback had in common. What made them useful.
With my learnings, I've built FeedSpark. It uses the best feedback practices so that people start giving and receiving feedback more often.
#How does it work?
1. Ask someone for feedback
2. We'll send them an email
3. They provide feedback following a template
4. Get your feedback in your email
No personal data will be saved on our end. Everything works via emails and URL params. There are no cookies or databases.
# Stack
The app was made with Bubble. There are, however, limitations. For example, I was unable to create the calendar reminders with Bubble, so these features currently work in a concierge mode: which means I'm manually pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I feel I'll eventually need to migrate the app to a different stack in order to make it more robust
# What's next?
Assuming the app succeeds in helping people get more helpful feedback from their peers. I was thinking about these features and use-cases:
- Sharable links
- Notifications and scheduled reminders to help people incorporate feedback solicitations into their routines.
- User accounts: see all your received feedback and track your progress
- Abuse alerts
- Slack App & Google Chrome Extension
- Feedback usefulness ratings
- Ability to follow up with given feedback after a certain period of time (to check if the person improved or not),
