I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Immediately upon landing on the page I get hit with a Sign Up/Sign In modal that I close then another modal for Stay Up-to-date that I have to close then the whole thing stops loading and gives me another popup for server not responding.

Please remove the signup modal popup. Terrible first time experience.

Cool project, I really like the 'marker' feature!

Do you mind if I make a suggestion:

Remove the hint text about how the design process, or what kind of feedback the designer is looking for. Might even be better to get rid of the description section entirely.

Why? Because all it does is bias opinions by preemptively explaining and justifying the design before people look at it. It's kind of like a director showing you a 'behind the scenes' of the special effects before you watch the movie.

A better test would be for the designer to upload two different logos, and let the designer ask questions like: Which logo looks more reliable to you and why? Which logo would you associate with a 'fun' company? etc.

Source: Work in UX, I often write and design testing strategies. Honestly, most design feedback is useless - unless carefully gathered and filtered.

I find it annoying that the site nags me to sign up. This is driving me away immediately.

I also ask myself why the images of the designs are so tiny. Not really able to see any details. It seems especially pointless on the shown webdesign screenshot where I can't make out anything at all. Or did I miss something? As the images are important here they should be shown as large as possible and also be zoomable.

Consider something like "Sign In" and "Create Account"::

I had an idea like this with one differentiator. To receive feedback, you first need to give feedback to someone else. This is to guarantee that you don't just upload and nothing ever happens.

I believe HN has "hugged it to death".
