The problem

Thanks and feedback should not wait for review season

Recognition that only happens once a year feels hollow, and feedback saved for the review comes too late to help. Homebase makes it a habit: a public thank you takes seconds, private feedback goes where it should, and it all shows up when reviews are written.
