I love the idea of getting more feedback to people building things.

It will be awesome to not just provide feedback that is 'shallow', i.e. sentiment, but to make it easier to provide more constructive feedback.

Perhaps dig into the past 100K comments on Show HN's, categories them, and make it easy to put a large set of them. Leaving comments for more detailed discussions.

One challenge though is that development.kitchen is pulling content out of HN in this way. It might be handy if you had a browser extension that injected the content back into the site so that people could easily see existing feedback.

Thanks for the feedback vineet. Digging through past comments is a good idea and the quick reactions were in a way derived by doing that - we looked at Show HN comments and tried to distill them down to just a few. As you can imagine, its not easy to capture everything. We are looking at making the selection a bit more expansive but still quick to add. A browser extension is an interesting idea - this is something that was a bit of a struggle to figure out how to make it easier to see feedback from HN. We played around with importing comments from HN and had our own comments on the site along with HN comments, but merging the two was a bit confusing since you couldn't comment on HN from within DevKitchen. We're still trying to improve how this works.
