A feedback portal where customers post feature requests and vote on them, available as a managed service or self-hosted with Docker.
Fider is a feedback portal for feature requests and suggestions. Product decisions drawn from scattered emails, support tickets and hallway opinions are guesses. Fider gives your customers a voice and lets them tell you what they need, so you spend less time guessing and more time building the right product.
The mechanics stay simple on purpose. Anyone submits an idea or a request, everyone votes, and the discussion happens in a thread under the post. Submissions remain searchable and organized rather than getting lost, and a board can be published to customers or kept inside a team.
A board can be shaped to fit the product it serves.
- Voting: the audience decides which requests matter most.
- Discussion threads: conversation attached to each individual request.
- Branding: a custom welcome message, a custom domain and your own look.
- Multiple languages: an interface translated for an international audience.
- Private boards: feedback restricted to a team instead of published.
- Moderation and SEO indexing: content control and search visibility on the paid plan.
There are two ways to run it. Fider Cloud is fully managed by the creators, with a free tier capped at 250 feedback items and unlimited users, voting and discussions. Self-hosting is free, and most people use Docker to run Fider on their own infrastructure, with guides for Coolify, AWS, Azure and Heroku. Development is supported by donations and sponsors on Open Collective.
A product feedback and public roadmap tool that turns user requests into a prioritized board, a changelog and a loop back to the requester.
Reflet gives a product team one place for the feedback that otherwise arrives through support tickets, sales calls and direct messages. Users submit requests, other users upvote and comment, and tags, filtering and full-text search turn the pile into an ordered view of what matters to the people actually using the product.
Those same items then move across a kanban roadmap through backlog, planned, in progress and done, and release notes link back to the features that were requested, closing the loop with whoever asked. Real-time collaboration keeps every connected client in sync, which the Convex backend handles natively.
The rest of the product handles what a public board exposes you to.
- Privacy control: boards can be public or private, so internal discussion stays apart from the customer-facing list.
- Organizations: multi-tenant workspaces with team invitations and owner, admin and member roles.
- Branding: public pages take your colors, custom CSS and your own domain.
- Notifications: status changes, new comments and vote milestones are surfaced without flooding anyone.
- Changelog: release notes are published to users and tied to the requests they answer.
It is React 19 and Next.js on the front with Convex behind it, Better-Auth for sign-in and a Turborepo and Bun toolchain, self-hosted with a clone, an install and one backend setup command. The license is the SSPL: free to use, modify and self-host, but not to resell as a competing hosted service.
