Usability Testing Exchange — where other people will do usability testing of your website, for free, and give feedback to you. You give feedback to others too, and get back as much feedback as you give, counted in characters.

And EffectiveDiscussions, a discussion forum that brings together the best from Slack, Discourse, StackOverflow, HackerNews, Disqus.

Awesome concept on usability testing exchange! This reminds me of the interviewing.io model, which I also highly regarded.

I think this sort of karma-enforced-sharing model could work in a lot a fields, but the big disadvantage I anticipate is not having any experts in the mix. Do you have any ideas for how to minimize this disadvantage?


I've been thinking about gamification, like at StackOverflow and StackExchange. There, talented people sometimes spend lots of time helping others. (To get more reputation points?)

Maybe there could be some "high score" list, showcasing the people who have contributed the most, and also have given a high ratio of Like-vote-upvoted feedback. Then people might want to contribute, and include the high-score-presence in their resume / online portfolio.

Or maybe some people to via sth like Patreon would want to pay talented people in low-living-cost-countries, to spend some of their time at Usability Testing Exchange, helping others.

Do you have any thoughts about this or additional ideas? :- )
