Tips for Effective Feedback

  1. Be Specific — "Add dark mode to dashboard" is better than "improve UI"
  2. Search First — Avoid duplicates by checking if someone already submitted your idea
  3. Provide Context — Explain why you need the feature or what problem it solves
  4. Vote, Don't Duplicate — If you find an existing submission, upvote it instead of creating a new one
  5. Follow Up — Check back for team responses in the comments
