Getting Feedback in to Chrome: Web Developer Insights Community

Paul Kinlan

We've been using surveys like the MDN Developer Needs Survey and our own quarterly surveys to understand web developer challenges and prioritize our efforts. These surveys highlighted issues like web compatibility, testing, and documentation, leading to improvements like our Web Compat initiative and increased focus on MDN documentation. While valuable, these surveys don't offer granular feedback on specific projects or proposals. Direct feedback is essential, but our current approach is informal and inconsistent. To address this, we've partnered with C SPACE to create the Web Developer Insights Community – a dedicated group of ~1000 web developers who'll provide direct feedback to our questions. This community allows open communication among developers while limiting Chrome team influence. We're excited about this new channel for gathering actionable developer insights and encourage you to join if you're interested.
