Developers, we want your feedback.

Midnight is designed for builders, and your insights help shape how the network evolves. If you’ve been developing, testing, or exploring Midnight, we’d appreciate your input.

We’ve put together a short 5-10 minute survey to understand:
πŸ”Ή What’s working well
πŸ”Ή What could be improved
πŸ”Ή What tooling or support would make development easier

Survey link: https://survey.hsforms.com/1iI-t5tYPQY6RuAzrBFW6twqtj5y

Your perspective as a developer is critical in ensuring Midnight continues to provide the best experience for developing privacy-first applications.

Thank you in advance for your time and contributions. The form will be live until the end of March, so there’s plenty of time to think through your feedback - and the more responses, the better.
