DropComments
An alternative to a feedback call
Feedback without finding a time
Some feedback is best talked through together. For the smaller notes, a link lets people comment when they have a moment, and when you’re online at the same time, you see each other’s comments as they’re written.

When comments fit
A call is great for decisions that need discussion. For a set of small notes, getting everyone free at once can take longer than the feedback itself.
Comments let each person review when it suits them, with every point written down where it applies. If something needs a conversation, you can still have one, about just that.

Questions
Can we review together at the same time?
Yes. Everyone with the Drop open sees new comments as they’re written, and the top bar shows who else is looking.
How do I see what people said?
Open the Drop: every comment is there with who wrote it, numbered by screen. You can copy them all as a list.
What if a reviewer has no account?
They comment with just a name.
