People are afraid to give you honest feedback so we built this

We (@emrenx and I) wanted a simple little tool that would help us get better feedback so we could move faster. We knew that anonymizing the data would help. For more research on this approach, check out 360-degree feedback http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-degree_feedback. http://pitchback.me/

In plain words

Pitchback is a feedback collection tool that anonymizes responses to help users receive honest input from colleagues and peers.

    Hey there! Signals is a survey system that collects feedback from staff (mostly) but also clients and stakeholders in a business. It does this via SMS on a weekly schedule (the cadence can be changed but it works best when done weekly). My co-founder and I started working on this nearly a year ago, having run similar small builds for over four years. This time we’ve tried to do it properly.
