I have often wished for this exact feature when using software of poor quality. E.g. years ago when I still used Microsoft Windows, I often had the thought that it would be appropriate if I could press a button to buzz the developers responsible for a particular part of the system. Very happy to see that a similar idea has been implemented, and I hope it catches on. =)

Interestingly, we used to joke about having a "yea!" button when we came across a particularly well designed feature or small UI touch (particularly on older Macintosh software.)

I guess its a glass is half ( empty | full | full of something noxious ) thing.

(Now that I'm older and more cynical, I tend towards the latter.)

I believe there is a Microsoft April Fools video with this exact theme.

Such a good video... even this many years later.
