💬 Async Feedback

Text feedback loses too much context

When you type feedback, you lose tone, you lose visual reference, and you lose the ability to point at exactly what you mean. "The left side feels a bit heavy" means very different things to different people. Showing it takes three seconds.

What video feedback is great for

• Design reviews — point at specific elements as you talk through them
• Document feedback — scroll through and comment section by section
• Code review — explain why something could be improved, not just that it should
• UX feedback — narrate your experience navigating a product as a first-time user

The async advantage

With video feedback, the person receiving it can watch it when they're ready, pause it, rewatch specific parts, and respond on their own schedule. Compare that to a live review meeting where one person drives and everyone else tries to keep up.

Keep recordings short and focused

The best async feedback recordings are 2–5 minutes. Cover one piece of work, give your overall impression, then walk through specifics. Don't try to solve everything in one take.
