Ask HN: How do you get feedback for your products?
I'm working on something new, or a reboot of an idea. I'm trying to figure out how to develop a feedback cycle. 10 years ago I was working on open source and I could post here, or people would find it on github or I'd write long form content. Just wondering how to gauge immediate feedback now.
- yaros_love 6mo agoPerhaps reddit might be the place to go? Or, better, just ask your friends/colleagues?
- yoaso 6mo agoPosting on Indie Hackers has worked best for me so far. Both positive and negative reactions are useful. That said, it's inconsistent - some posts get real discussion, others get nothing. DMs are hard. X and LinkedIn both have weak response rates. The exception on X is when you catch someone tweeting about the exact problem at the right moment - then the conversation opens up naturally. The surprise was the Stripe App review process. The back-and-forth with the reviewer surfaced gaps in my feature set I hadn't noticed. The application process basically became a product review.

- voxleone 6mo agoThere's a customary way to post it here. "Show HN": https://news.ycombinator.com/show https://news.ycombinator.com/show
- aminau 6mo agoI generally get it on Linkedin,Mostly via dms, or git issues. Git issues are much helpful i say. Take a look : https://github.com/SynapseKit/SynapseKit https://github.com/SynapseKit/SynapseKit
- myui 6mo agoTalking to people you already know in your target segment is probably the fastest loop — friends, ex-colleagues, or even folks you met at meetups (?)
