Congrats on the launch! The focus on making the experience intuitive and enjoyable, rather than corporate and clunky, really stands out. How flexible are the review panels when teams need different scoring styles or criteria?

@vik_sh Thanks Viktor! Very flexible. You can set your own scoring criteria and voting options on an individual project level. Different projects, with different panels, all with their own customised settings.
Interesting! Thank you for the product. Just a quick note, I think the images on your website are poor quality, which detracts from the visual experience. Just an idea for upgrading your product :)

@diana_mirrorapp Hi Diana, thanks for the feedback! We'll certainly look at upgrading the website image quality asap!
This is so needed. Managing awards and contests manually is actually a nightmare - spreadsheets everywhere, email chaos.
Quick q - does it integrate with payment tools? Like if people submit work and we need to collect fees? Also how do you handle judging workflows?
Looking good! 😍

@imraju Hey Raju - Thanks for your feedback! Great question. Yes, we have a direct integration with Stripe. You can connect your Stripe account through the platform and start taking payments (such as submission fees or entry fees) in a matter of minutes. As you connect your own account, payments are deposited immediately (so no future payouts or invoicing etc). You can create different projects within the system, each with its own set of payment(s) and can run multiple contests/awards etc, simultaneously.

Really love the clarity of this. Managing submissions is usually chaos, and Dapple makes it look… actually doable. Great work!

@flavia_fu Thanks Flavia!
Interesting idea. I recently read about a project that uses AI to help win EU grants: it fills out forms, gives recommendations, etc. Can your platform do something like that?
Dapple
@mykyta_semenov_ Thanks for the insights here! At the moment our platform wouldn't do that - sounds like a slightly different use case than what we do but sounds interesting!

Your team has truly delivered an amazing product that is now a critical, indispensable part of my toolkit. Thank you once more!

@yuki1028 Thanks!
So exciting! Good luck with your journey! My question is how customizable are the forms?
Dapple
@djolexv Hey! Forms are fully customizable. You can create an unlimited number of fields with all the field options such as dropdowns, selection boxes, single/radio etc. You can also brand all the forms with backgrounds, headers and themes etc. Thanks!

Been there 😅 with 10 Google Sheets open. total organization hell. one of those tools you don’t think about until you’ve suffered without it

@marina_sysoeva Thanks for your comments and yeah we've all been there! Google sheets are great for some things (I use them all the time) but then as soon as you try and do more advanced things, they become a hinderance rather than a help!
