Hi there. Yes you could. But in my experience in the past, that gets messy real fast. Can you imagine sending email blasts to even 30 people and getting feedback from those people and then wanting to dive deeper with a few of them? Not to mention you also need to BCC everyone to protect ppl's privacy. Then all the feedback is all mixed together with the rest of your email. Yes, there's lots of workarounds like using Mail Chimp and setting up email filters and folders. But it gets old really fast. And that's only the data gathering aspect.
The other half of it is to organize the data automatically so that each user's personal story comes through. One way to do that is to get people to register for some blog like tumblr and post to that, but that's a lot of responsibility on your tester and will likely reduce their response rate.
We aim to fix this tradeoff. And we free up your time to actually act on the feedback and insights.
Also, we've got a bunch of ideas to make it richer beyond just emails--lean startup MVP...maybe we were too minimum here?
