You show someone your product.
They look at it and say:
“Looks good.”
You say thanks.
Then you go back to building with absolutely no idea what to change.
I started thinking the problem isn't always bad feedback.
Sometimes we're just asking for it badly.
Instead of:
“What do you think?”
Try:
“Is it immediately clear what this does?”
“Would you actually use this?”
“What would stop you from using it?”
The difference is simple:
A broad question gets an opinion.
A specific question gets an answer you can act on.
That's actually why I built Critique.
You share what you're building, ask one specific question, and get focused feedback from another builder.
Ask one question. Get real answers.
If you're building something, try it:

And I'm curious:
What's the most useless feedback you've ever received on something you built?
I'll start:
“Looks good.”
