Ask HN: Best way to get feedback from developers?
3 by freeqaz | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I've been working on an Open Source project[0] recently, and I've been wondering about the best way to actually talk with developers. I'm a dev. I don't really like to talk to people unless I have to. Getting me on the phone for 15 minutes with a stranger... is unlikely. Even with a $20 gift card incentive. I presume most other devs are the same. So, what's the best way to talk with devs and gather meaningful feedback to be able to improve the project? I want to know answers to questions like, "Would you use this? If not, why not?" or "After reading the docs, can you explain back to me what the project does for you?" Maybe HN isn't the place to ask this. Maybe this is too business focused. But, I figured I'd ask anyway. What ideas do you have for how an Open Source project could gather feedback from you? It's a very good way to "give back" to Open Source, so maybe that's the best angle to take? Thanks! 0: https://ift.tt/2ZIyMGx
