360Katas - Open source app to seek feedback from co-workers on Slack!

by•
360Katas is an open source slack app that helps you get candid feedback by offering safety of anonymity to your respondents.
What’s awesome is that it plans to connect users with similar self-development goals so that they can share, learn & succeed together.

Firstly, thank you for hunting us @kevin 360Katas helps users discover self-development goals using the principles of 360 degree feedback methodology, namely, 1. Seek feedback from everyone around us - Managers, Peers, Subordinates - and not just Managers, and 2. Encourage respondents to give honest feedback by creating safety of anonymity for them. While 360 degree feedback methodology is great, it has some serious shortcomings which we aim to address through 360Katas (learn more at https://link.medium.com/8lBD2vbKnab). Many feedback tools stop at fetching feedback, we intend to offer the next step - a learning community to users who want to begin the journey of self-development. Users can join small communities of people with similar goals so that they can share and make progress together. We created this app out of love for genuine feedback and self-development. Please give it a try and let us know your suggestions. Thank you! #microSaaS #IndieHacker #opensource

I liked the peer-learning groups idea a lot. It’ll be awesome to work with others who are pursuing similar self-development goals.

@anita_dhulipalli Thanks Anita! We are really really looking forward to this. Will take it live once there are enough users as it needs critical mass. Thanks much for your encouragement!

Great product! Congratulations team, all the best. Slack integration is very powerful, timely feedback when needed to make things better and improve every individual/team/company's performance, than wait till end of quarter or year. Annual Feedback & Appraisals are DEAD, helps no one and they are too late to fix anything in getting better at work, in-fact they make it worse. Continuous feedback cycles in the context of NOW is the way to go and rightly aggregating this for quarterly/yearly employee development plans/appraisals will make things even better & lot more friendly.

@dashbitla Thanks Dasharatham! Can't agree more with you on this. The way 360Katas is designed makes it impractical for companies to use it for performance appraisal because there's no admin user in 360Katas who can track which users sought feedback and who didn't. Moreover no-one - eg., HR / Manager - can see feedback of others. Only the seeker can see the feedback. By this very design, the respondents know that the seeker is genuinely interested in feedback and hence are motivated to give honest feedback, which is very important when the feedback is to help plan self-development goals. Addtionally, the respondents know that the seeker has taken extra step to anonymise their responses. This encourages honest feedback to flows-in without any hesitation. We hope 360Katas helps everyone as much as it helped us! ✌️

Have been using this for a month or so now, this is so simple to use. I really liked how it just works out of the box. I've been trying to look for a tool to do my feedback at a (very) small startup that I run. I essentially wanted to ask my peers for just 3 questions - "What should i start doing?", "What should I stop doing?", "What should I continue doing?" Being integrated in slack made it really easy for me to ask for feedback without making a huge fuss about it! :) TL;DR simplest feedback seeking tool out there :)

Great to see this. Feedback is so critical for any learning and yet we don't have an easy to use solution. So we just stop improving. BTW love your pricing policy :-)
