With one of my apps, I’d set (feedback) context for my friends. because it was a social app, i needed a friendly (user) feedback. but also a brutal feedback.
2/3 times i’d show/run a feature or page by them casually, and observe their reactions.
the other 1/3, usually when the product is semi/ready, i’d specifically ask them to play devil’s advocate. i’d say, “i have come to sell you the product. give me all the reasons why it will not work.”
If people who know you well, feel extremely scared to give you honest feedback, you will not become better.
Love this, great points
