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.<p>It can also be frustrating.<p>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.<p>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.<p>With my learnings, I've built FeedSpark. It uses the best feedback practices so that people start giving and receiving feedback more often.<p>#How does it work?<p>1. Ask someone for feedback<p>2. We'll send them an email<p>3. They provide feedback following a template<p>4. Get your feedback in your email<p>No personal data will be saved on our end. Everything works via emails and URL params. There are no cookies or databases.<p># Stack<p>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.<p>I feel I'll eventually need to migrate the app to a different stack in order to make it more robust<p># What's next?<p>Assuming the app succeeds in helping people get more helpful feedback from their peers. I was thinking about these features and use-cases:<p>- Sharable links<p>- Notifications and scheduled reminders to help people incorporate feedback solicitations into their routines.<p>- User accounts: see all your received feedback and track your progress<p>- Abuse alerts<p>- Slack App & Google Chrome Extension<p>- Feedback usefulness ratings<p>- Ability to follow up with given feedback after a certain period of time (to check if the person improved or not),
