Hi HN. I built a tool for international calls and for a full month I built what felt right to me.

But then I started getting emails from users with feedback about features and I wanted a better way to gather feedback. I started looking for feedback collection tools. Got a few suggestions but I didn't want to spend 30 minutes integrating a third party tool.

Mostly because my users would have to go at a third place to post feedback. I wanted somehting more direct so I prompted claude to build somehing similar to insignto by marclou but inside my app.

40 minutes later I had my own in-app tool to gather feedback. And 24 hours after launch I got my first user feedback on the in-app tool

Lesson learned: even a tiny feedback loop beats building in isolation.

Future plan: I think feedback collection is crucial and I want to build something simple and fast for other developers to gather in-app feedback / feature requests. Maybe publishing it as an npm package will be best? I'll think about it and see where this takes me.

Checkout callspark if you want to make cheap international calls with no installs, and no subscriptions.

Cheers!
