Posting on HN is probably more valuable when your feedback is requesting new featureful changes and not just bugs. There are likely quite a few Apple engineers that browse this subreddit which might be able to make an internal push for these changes (eventually).
- toomuchtodo 5y agoAgreed! But it can also be helpful to submit the requests through the usual channels. Engineers on HN can then point PMs and management to this data versus "someone on HN asked, create the story."
- pininja 5y agoThis has been my experience and is also why I push to get a feature request submitted, and then ask for some link to it. Also as a customer, sometimes when I’m writing out my request I realize an existing way to get what I want without needing to wait for them.
- Operyl 5y agoSaid engineers also push heavily for people to send in a FB. It’s something on paper they can show their management to show an interest exists.
- tpush 5y ago> [...] that browse this subreddit [...] Freudian slip here, I guess. I'd still report them through the normal channels. I wouldn't bet on any given Apple employee of the right team to happen to read a specific comment on HN.
