You ship your app. You post it everywhere you can think of.
Product Hunt. Reddit. A few Slack groups.
Then you wait.
A handful of upvotes. Someone says nice work. Another says cool idea. Then silence.
Nobody tells you the onboarding drops users on step two. Nobody says the value prop takes 30 seconds to understand and most people will not wait that long.
That feedback exists. It is sitting in the head of another developer who has shipped something similar, hit the same walls, and knows what works. The problem is there is no good way to find that person.
So I am building Stackrate.
It is a developer-to-developer peer review platform. You submit your app with a specific feedback request. Other verified developers review it covering UX, onboarding, value prop and performance. You review others to earn reviews for yours.
No casual users. Dev verified only via GitHub or App Store link.
The matching logic is built around one insight from a developer I spoke to: feedback from someone on the same stack, one step ahead in revenue, is 10 times more useful than feedback from a random smart person.

Two questions for the DEV community: is this a problem you have felt? And what is the most useful piece of feedback you ever got on something you shipped?
