People struggle to get candid, useful feedback from others
People with work in progress—or questions about how they come across—want outside perspectives before they act, but lack an easy way to request timely, specific feedback. Asking friends or colleagues can feel awkward, and a request for feedback can still lead to silence or responses that are too limited to be useful. A feedback tool can make requesting and organizing responses easier, though it cannot guarantee that the right people will respond.
For creators and professionals seeking outside feedback. Mentioned from Apr 2024 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

Is there a service to get anonymous feedback on a conference proposal talk? Not knowing how my topic will be received until after the proposal time is up kills me 😅
Would love to be able to offer a nuanced answer, you could still give the questioner 12 answers from people who accepted/responded to framing
