Awesome Imre! I can’t think of a better person to be driving this forward 🙌 good luck!
I see the potential of having a UXR agency. I might need one in the future for my startup. But I'd love to hear more about the success of your clients and the quality of the research that was produced.
Great work Imre!
How do you handle data security, especially when dealing with sensitive user information during testing?
While the platform is useful, it could benefit from a feature that allows users to suggest or request new tech stacks.
It’s a solid resource, but including user testimonials or success stories could add more credibility and inspire confidence in the recommended tech stacks.
I think this platform has a lot of potential, but it would be even better if it provided more detailed case studies on how different tech stacks are used in real projects.
I've always struggled with user research tools that are either too complicated or too expensive.
Great job on Fred, it looks really comprehensive! I have a question about the 'Behavioural Analytics' feature. How detailed are the heatmaps and session recordings? Are they easy to integrate with other tools I’m already using for analytics?
I see a lot of value in how this tool combines ease of use with the ability to manage research studies effectively. It could really help in keeping research efforts on track.
This looks like a well-organized tool for managing user research. The ability to store and organize work in a collaborative document is a big plus, especially for teams working on multiple projects.
I'm impressed with how intuitive the setup is for card sorting and surveys. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making user research more accessible and effective.
I appreciate how this tool combines various research methods into one platform.
Great to see Kiquix's innovative approach with Fred the UXR Shepherd! 🎉 The combination of collaborative features and advanced behavioral tracking really sets it apart in the crowded UXR space. The flexible usability testing and easy report-building options will surely enhance productivity for any team. Looking forward to exploring the Beta and providing feedback. Amazing work, @imre_gi! How do you envision the insights feature evolving in the future?
Finally, a tool that helps me stop guessing and start knowing what users actually think! 😂 It feels like I’ve been handed a crystal ball for user research!
How does this tool handle large volumes of data during high-traffic research periods? Is there a limit to the amount of data that can be processed in real-time?
Finally, a tool that makes user research less like a guessing game and more like a science experiment! 🧪🔬 How do you keep the data analysis from becoming a lab of chaos?
I love the idea of having real-time testing and collaborative features all in one place! It’s great to see a tool that supports both individual researchers and teams. Keep up the excellent work!
The features offered are quite intriguing, especially the real-time testing and collaboration options. It’s refreshing to see a tool that not only gathers data but also helps visualize and share it effectively.
