The Importance of User Feedback (and How to Get It!)

Today, we'll talk about user feedback!

Hey Indie Developers! đź‘‹

Welcome to the newsletter of Indie Dev Tools!

Providing the best features for your users is mandatory; yet, is it really what they want? Also, is your product working as they expect it to work?

You won’t know unless you talk to your users.

But, as developers, talking directly to users can feel like a pain, if not a pure loss of time. Fortunately, some tools exist to automate that.

In this edition, we’re going to list 3 of them, and I’ll share with you an article to help you understand how important user feedback is.

The Best Tools to Automatically Collect Feedback

Insighto

Insighto, a free product developed by the famous indie hacker Marc Lou, allows your user to give you a feedback really easily.

Create a board in a few clicks, add the link on your website and voilà! It redirects your users to Insighto’s dashboard, where they can give their feedback.

Lite Feedback

Lite Feedback is very simple popup that you can add on any of your website with a single line of code.

Create and personalize the popup on your dashboard, paste the given line of code on your website, and the popup magically appears!

Your users will only have to fill in one field and the feedback will be added to your dashboard, and as well sent to you via email and/or Telegram.

You can start with Lite Feedback for free!

Modalcast

Modalcast is similar to Lite Feedback, in the way that it adds a popup on your website to get your user feedback.

But it brings more feature, like embedded forms, embedded videos, coupon codes, or ask for reactions.

Ideal if you need more than a simple feedback!

Article of the Week

This week’s blog article is called “Developers: Your Customer Feedback Matter.”, a one I wrote, taking my own example having issues to collect user feedback, and the solutions I used to help me out with it.

That’s it for today’s newsletter.

Have a great week building your own tool!
