I made karmurl last night. It's a simple app where you submit a URL for feedback, then for every piece of feedback you give to someone else's, you get to read one piece of feedback for yours.

What a delightfully simple and useful app. I could use this all day long.

Thanks for making this.

Edit: I keep getting the test site asking me to skip. Maybe you should remove it?

Thank you!

It seems perfect. It's small, usable and looks good. It would definitely would be useful for startups.

http://feedbackroulette.com already does something very similar.

Looks great - really good idea, thanks for making it.

Not sure if it's just me, but it doesn't display the full page when showing me someones site to review - it shows the top third and then just grey space (using the latest version of Chrome on a Mac).

Same here. FF6 on Mac.

Wonderful little app. I would actually spend some time going through it if I wasn't at work. Speaking of which, is there any process put in place to filter the sites people input?

Could you put 'how this site works' on the side, so I don't have to click on anything to get this info?

mcrittenden• 15 years ago

You might want to consider not showing a user a site that he/she has already reviewed (i.e., don't let me review the same site twice).

Great idea and nice simple execution, just reviewed a few sites!

lancashire2• 15 years ago

Thanks.

That's a really good idea. I just put it together in a few hours and hadn't thought that far ahead :)

I'd e-mail users when new review is added. This way users know when to come back to the site and will make it more engaging.

Love the idea, though: 1) email me when new feedback is received, 2) let me reply to people's feedback, and 3) preferably don't show me sites I've skipped, and definitely don't show me sites I've already given feedback to.

Good work!

Small request: a favicon!

I really like this idea, would use it a lot on the upcoming days.

freshlog• 15 years ago

I'm addicted to this, actually finished giving feedback to all 12 sites for review.

Although I've already given feedback within the app, I'll just repeat myself here.

1. It would be great to able to continue a conversation with the person who has given you feedback, right now, you just see the feedback given to you.

2. I think it's important to get to know the person giving you feedback because from there you'll be able to tell whether he is the right type of user for your app.

Love your site! I've already gotten back so much useful feedback, thank you! I agree with freshlog, it would be great to converse with the person who has given the feedback.
