Welcome toBounce

A little app from ZURB that lets people add feedback to any interface and toss that back and forth with other people.

Why

For most creative people, asking for feedback is difficult. After all, who wants to open themselves up to criticism?

It's a vital part of the design process, though, and ultimately everybody on the team is better off for it.

How to Give Great Feedback

Keep these tips in mind if you've been asked to provide feedback on Bounce.

  • Does the feedback suggest a specific action and a reason for it?

    Don't make someone guess what you're suggesting, and why. Be descriptive, but brief.

  • Does the feedback have context?

    Bounce helps you out by always including the context of your feedback (the screenshot). In other cases, be sure they know what you're talking about.

  • Is the feedback encouraging?

    Get people excited about your insights by positioning it positively!

  • Is the feedback realistic?

    Don't overwhelm: try to break down the feedback in smaller, more manageable chunks.

How to Get Good Feedback

When you need to solicit feedback from others there are a few points to keep in mind.

  • Choose specific people you'd like answers from.

    "Hey Mom, do you like this design better than the last one?"

  • Make sure the feedback you ask for helps to move things along.

    "Please let me know by tomorrow if you want this new font."

  • Create a goal with specific examples and questions.

    "Do you think the over-50 crowd will like the comic-book style header?"

How

Bounce was designed to be easy to use, but if you're not quite sure how everything works we're here for you. Follow these simple steps:

Want to upload an image instead of capturing a URL? No problem!

Upload an Image »

  • Grab a screenshot.

    Type in the web page address and click the "Grab Screenshot" button. Tip: Make sure you've got the address of the exact page you want, like "MySite.com/photopage122"

  • Add your name.

    Type in the name you want to show on your notes. We'll save it until you change it. Tip: This is really important once you get a bunch of different people's notes on there!

  • Make some notes.

    Click anywhere on your screenshot, and type in what you want to say. Tip: You can change the size and location of your note to highlight exactly what you want.

  • Save your notes.

    Click the "Save" button in the top right corner to finalize this Bounce. Tip: You need to make at least one note to save your page.

  • Share your feedback.

    Copy the URL that shows up under "Share this feedback" and put it anywhere you want. Tip: There are quick links to Facebook and Twitter right next to the URL.

  • Watch it Bounce

    The people you've shared your page with can make their own notes, save them, and bounce them! Tip: If you like the way Bounce feedback works, you might want to try upgrading to Notable.
