About this Experiment
The E-book Feedback Collector is the reader-response companion to the "Main Akeli Thi" digital book. It gives readers a fast, frictionless way to tell the author what a story meant to them — an optional name, a feedback box, and one button.
Features
- One-field simplicity — an optional name (defaults to "Anonymous") and a required feedback message. Nothing else.
- Instant delivery — submissions are formatted with a timestamp and delivered directly to the author's inbox channel, no server or database required.
- Double-submit protection — the button disables and shows "Sending…" while the message is in flight.
- Bilingual thank-you page — a warm confirmation in both English and Urdu (نستعلیق) with a link back to the book.
The Experiment
This project tests how far a fully static page can go as a real feedback pipeline: no backend, no framework, no signup — yet the author receives structured, timestamped reader reviews in real time. It's a useful pattern for any independent writer publishing on static hosting.
