How easy is it for you to get early feedback from users?
As indie hackers, we love to build and experiment with our products. Whether it's a small feature or a new application, how often do you get feedback from users?
Do you feel getting feedback helps validate your idea?
What systems do you have in place to get feedback from users?
I currently get no feedback and it's one of my biggest challenges. But, I am in a bit of a unique scenario where I am on disability so am extremely limited in the work I can do on my idea and cannot receive other income.
I'm just finishing up Lean Startup so I'm gaining a much better understanding of small, iterative feedback and the value of feedback (and hypothesis, and assumptions).
So, I do not have any systems for getting feedback from users and I wish I did. In fact that's one of the "bored Google" things I do. When I'm bored or brain-dead (recovering from severe brain injury) I Google ways and tools for user feedback.
In writing this I have thought of a new feedback tool I might try out. I'll post images of various app features, and a description so potential users can upvote/comment each feature individually.
Not sure if that helps or answers your question but hope it does.
Thank you, it helps a lot. Just curious of what people are thinking about getting feedback and what tools they are using.
