The problem.

Feedback widgets are ugly because they're built for the ops team, not the user. I wanted one the user actually used.

II · Build

What I shipped.

What

A lightweight in-app feedback widget with a reply layer and analytics tie-in.

How

Why

A feedback widget that looks like the product gets 8× more submissions.
