I feel like this is a technical solution for a bigger people problem: managers not communicating effectively with their subordinates. Soon you won't ever have to talk to your boss! Thanks computers! That being said, I think this is a good product to sell to companies that choose to ignore the real "problem".

Agreed. Managers not getting feedback from their subordinates is also a problem.

Everyone has things they could improve in, and being frank about that is a hard personal problem which no tech can overcome.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Feedback: You have to get many more screen shots showing actual use on your website. I'm not seeing any. Hard to say much w/o seeing that. Can't even pass it along to anyone who I might think is interested without more of that.

Thanks for the feedback, we're definitely going to add some more screenshots. In the mean time we've updated our landing page with a short introduction video (which was also already posted in the comments here).

Let me give you an idea and direction to at least look into for your product, either currently or in the future.

Feedback, for hospital stays is super important. You should look at adapting a version of your product to suit people having hospital stays both elective and non elective. Hospital's are already conducting patient quality surveys and something like this product could easily fit into that. (And the best part is you can find many ways to charge for this as the budget and the need is definitely there).

This could be by way of a dedicated app for each establishment where the hospital tells the patients to download the app and they can either use it while in the bed (depending obviously on their condition) or once they leave the hospital. Wouldn't be to difficult to private brand an app for each hospital or hospital system either. (Yes, certain age groups would have issues but enough wouldn't to make it worthwhile for the hospital..)

(If you end up doing this let me know...)

This looks nice, but it's been a long time since I've worked in a organization that would need this so it's hard for me to comment on the value it would bring. I'm curious, though: can you provide anonymous feedback?

However, if other hackers out there are looking for ideas, I think there's a strong need for something similar to this but targeted at businesses with younger, wage-based employees. Think restaurants, hotels, and retail businesses. Their needs are slightly different but I think a feedback tool would be valuable.
