I actually liked using this, really friendly and easy to use interface. I would definitely use this for a personal website or a small project

I cannot have the feedback window open AND look at the site at the same time. A real popup (not that javascript usability break... (grumpiness not directed at you specifically)) would work better. A report button is missing, I had "drupal.org" once with a nonsense question. And another site asking about some spammy stuff ("what are your thoughts on online marketing" i think)) A function to reshow the question would be nice aargh, this is addicting.

Nice concept, but I tried removing my submission and re-submitting it with a proper request, but it won't let me add. Keep getting an error that Submission could not be added :(

the modal/unmoveable feedback overlay is quite annoying, to send a proper comment I needed to recheck and all the time it required closing and reopening it. Also, it seems the site has a terrible potential to become some spammy/free-traffic engine, which I'm not sure can be controlled. But apart from this, it _is_ a really cool idea and I like it a lot.

It’s a good idea, and a couple of bits of feedback I’ve received have been useful. It would be good to be able to modify my submission after it’s been added. I’d also like the opportunity to respond to others’ feedback—could be an option when leaving feedback.

  +1 for ability to respond to feedback. Someone said, '...your site could be better.' I hated not being able to ask, 'WHAT in it could be better?? Please elaborate!!!'

  Some of the feedback I’ve received has been excellent, and I plan on sharing it with my team members. The ability to download all the feedback for a submission as a .txt or .pdf file would be very helpful. http://karmurl.com/give?s=9okt8061otbq7o56 http://karmurl.com/give?s=9okt8061otbq7o56 if you’d like to leave feedback for http://www.localphone.com/ http://www.localphone.com/

  Thanks for the ideas. You can now edit the submission. I am considering the reply functionality, I just wouldn't want it to compromise the simplicity.

Really cool idea! Great way to receive feedback for new concepts/designs. I look forward to using it! The direct link to the submission is also a great feature: http://karmurl.com/give?s=47msbc5r9kl7mx2l http://karmurl.com/give?s=47msbc5r9kl7mx2l

Wow. Why has nobody ever thought of this before? You could go a step further and make 'karma points' a commodity! Pay a dollar for a feedback karma and take 50 cents for every karma point you want to give up. Would be nice. Add paypal to make it work nice and easy. P.s. Although both the idea and the 'easy' bit in paypal integration could be controversial.

I've been using Karmurl for the last couple of days. It's the simplest and most useful app I've seen posted here. I've already exchanged 30 pieces of feedback. Feel free to give me some more and I'll return the favour - http://karmurl.com/give?s=uyg28o3kbh94lszw http://karmurl.com/give?s=uyg28o3kbh94lszw

Hey congrats this site looks awesome! I did DomainPolish and I'd love to talk some time about what you learned from it if you're interested. I love what you did with the design.

Definitely need to be able to edit/add to your response and would love if you could respond to others feedback. Maybe it's just me but I feel like the 1 to 1 feedback system is a little tedious and could lead to feedback like "Great site" so whoever it is can see somebodies feedback on their site. I'd love to see a gallery view as well where I can see a screenshot of the site and click it to give feedback. What's the business model?

  It was a midweek side project so there was never a business model in mind. I tried starting up http://kennelboard.com http://kennelboard.com, but it never really took off (selling and developing is hard on your own), so I'm now looking for a job and hoping that this will help me swoon potential employers.
  - diwank 15y ago
    Hey, great job! A real test of an idea could often be it's potential to generate revenue. I understand that it is a side-project and you may have different motivations. But I guess it is even more reasonable for you to try implementing a business model. There is not much to lose (given you don't end up putting desperate adverts all over the app... Duh!) As an example, the 'karma-as-commodity' model might just work. Point here being that I don't see something as valuable to a potential employer as a person who can write amazing apps and make some solid money out of it.

    Love the design/UI for kennelboard... any ideas why it never really took off?
