I don't know if this just happens to be my computer, but every time I click on one of the feedback tabs on a site, and it's hosted by uservoice, the overlayed box loads really slowly. Once I see the 'X' button load, I quickly close it as I've grown tired of waiting the 5 seconds.
Does anyone know of a simple widget that you can host yourself that has a simple feedback form (bug/idea)?
I don't want to make my users register on another site or jump through hoops to actually provide feedback, I just want them able to provide feedback as fast and as simply as possible.
I'd love to see stats on click through rates from users clicking feedback. I expect it's quite low, especially if they ask for signup.
We are using Google Docs' forms tied to a spreadsheet for our startup. We have it load in a jquery window and looks decent, it is fully integrated, is customizable to be as complex or simple as you want, requires no registration and is free.
Good idea. I think something like this that has a great design by default would be a great open source project, and would be a better alternative compared to uservoice et al for most companies.
