@basicbonsai Great question! We have a philosophical point of view that peer-to-peer feedback should not be anonymous. This is why Matter does not provide an anonymity feature when providing feedback. The benefits of transparency: Continue the conversation Receiving feedback with transparency provides you with the opportunity to continue the conversation with a peer. - When receiving feedback, this enables you to follow-up with your peer to learn as much as possible and not risk making damaging assumptions. - When providing feedback, this demonstrates you personally care about your peer by providing the opportunity to follow-up, learn more and improve. Constructive feedback Anonymity can often backfire and lead to undesired consequences. This can result in creating a toxic company culture. When people know their feedback is attributed to them, it results in a higher level of thought, constructiveness and care. When anonymous feedback is appropriate A employee giving their boss or the company's leaders feedback is called upward feedback or a "skip-level" feedback gathering process. In these scenarios, anonymous feedback may be appropriate to ensure employees provide honest feedback without fear of losing their job. Matter is not designed for anonymous upward feedback. Matter is designed to make peer-to-peer feedback easier, more effective and more pleasant.

@basicbonsai check out @howamigoing, we believe psychological safety is paramount to giving peers honest, constructive feedback - so all of our 360s are anonymous. Humans have come along way the past 30,000 years, but fight or flight still governs most of what we do. The pressure to not hurt feelings is pretty grand :-)

@patrickt010 Thanks for the kind words and support! You like many of our beta customers have been an integral part in helping us grow and become more.

@larapet62423011 thank you Lara. Please keep letting us know what we can do to improve the product for you.

@amy_horowitz We're working on addressing the items your brought up - it's going to be an exciting year :)

@amy_horowitz Wonderful suggestions! Would you be interested in becoming a beta tester for some of our upcoming releases?!

@luisao_sanchez thank you! and thank you! :)

@luisao_sanchez 🙏 thank you!

@nikunj Thanks Nikunj! Thank you for reaching out to clarify. Our commitment is that all of Matter's current features will remain free forever. In the future, we plan to offer new experiences which will be included in our upcoming Matter Pro offering.

@bretthellman @nikunj Can't wait to bring all of the great things we've been working on to our customers!

@parkerhendo Really good question! One of the things we realized with "growth minded" individuals is that it's very hard to track your progress, especially if it's over time. We would hear questions like: Have I improved? Have I gotten better? How do I know when I have reached my goal. Adding analytics, as well as the ability to filter your feedback down to just one skill helps to answer those questions.

@dmitry_derbenev Thank you for sharing this note - It's notes like yours that keep us working hard for our users! #1 - We currently don't have a public roadmap but I love the idea. To be honest, I don't think it would be super useful since as a startup, we only plan 3 months out. If there is a particular feature you'd like to see on Matter, please let me know and I'll share if that's coming soon. And better yet maybe the feature will get added. #2 - We are exploring this idea. It's likely 6 months away. I'd love to learn more. How would you want to use your public Matter profile? Thank you!

@bretthellman thank for your reply! How I see possibility of using public Matter profiles: 1) Make public commits about improvement areas. E.g. you gather 3.5 feedback about leadership skill on Matter. And you share your profile on Facebook promising to work on this skill for a next month 2) Connect it with the linkedin profile as additional proof of skills (but it may cause socially acceptable answers)

@dmitry_derbenev This is really great! Thank you for taking the time to share these ideas - I just shared them with my entire team. Stay tuned for exciting updates coming soon!

@benkoehler4 Thanks Ben. Would love to hear your feedback after you've given Matter a try!
