"View password and an option to sign in with google is missing. I don't know if you build your own backend, but firebase makes it super easy. huge time saver and great analytics. If you could "favorite" a project of someone's so you could revisit it easily it would be nice or if there was a way for a developer to be able to reach out to a reviewer for clarity on what they meant.
On the profile portion, the save kind of disappears due to being dark like the background
The system can be improved if you gamify it a bit. Achievement badges, level ups, etc - that could be fun"
This is better than a simple.

What is Dobda?
Dobda is a platform where solo developers share their projects and get structured, actionable feedback.
So they can improve faster and stop building in silence.
Why was it developed?
Solo developers often build in isolation and avoid feedback due to noise or backlash. Dobda fixes that by providing a structured, respectful space to share work and get useful feedback.

> Review others to unlock posting.
> Answer targeted questions, not essays.

Organized Posts
Designs of posts display title, description, link and the feedback the developer wants. With that, users who give feedback, know what the developer is asking for, and can specifically look for the given issues.
Ask for constructive or freetext feedback
You can setup how you want the the feedback on your post to be structured. For constructive feedback, you can ask (max. 5) questions that should be answered.
Enforced Feedback
Users who have a larger post count than their feedback count, will be enforced to give feedback before they can post again. This is done to prevent users from spamming posts, and encourages feedback.
Quick Reviews
Feedback is annoying to write, but constructed feedback for you, is way quicker! By only answering the given questions, you are not forced to write full blown analytic reviews, only the important parts. The parts that actually matter.
Encouragement
Developers are more motivated to give feedback, if they know that their feedback was well received. Dobda displays that to the users, showing that each and every feedback that was given, is good feedback.
Follow Up
Afer fixing the issues with your other project, create a follow up post where the fixed issues were underlied, and ask new questions. See how your product improved with the feedback from other users.
