20 alternatives to I made an embeddable user feedback tool – free for open source
Hi HN, After I finished my thesis on feedback management for SaaS at the end of last year, I thought it was time to do something hands-on that topic. Since I like the idea of such feedback tools, that lets you collaborate with users to find solutions together - instead of having a separated feedback from each user - this became my starting point. I also like the approach of the chat widgets as they make it easy for users to get in touch with the people behind the app. So I tried to combine these two approaches with sleekplan.com. Here are some of the main features: * Collect & discuss…
Below are 20 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I made an embeddable user feedback tool – free for open source launched in 2020; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!

As a product manager I've used different feedback tools and almost never liked the design and experience of the widget. And pricing of some existing tools is just way too high, at least for indie makers or small businesses ($35 for 100 responses...). That's why I've launched Freddy Feedback (today!). You can find it on www.freddyfeedback.com. Curious to hear your feedback (very meta ;-)).

Emra▲65Hey HN, I'm really excited to share Emra with you. The yc description would be: It's like "Notion meets Lovable". It's a workspace where you build full apps using AI and every app sits on one shared database and service layer. Generated apps are always editable, and (coming soon:) can interact with each other in the workspace. I'm of the opinion that the cost of software will go rapidly to zero (I don't think that's too surprising to any of you), but there will always be room for effort and creativity. Emra is essentially built for the future where every person is a developer. Essentially…

Hey HN, Managing external feedback boards can be a hassle. Moderating spam and responding to endless comment threads takes time away from building new features or focusing on marketing. I built Feedloop to solve this problem. It’s a tool designed to help you collect and track user/customer feedback internally within your team. No more wasting time on external platforms – streamline your feedback process and keep everything in-house. Check it out: https://www.getfeedloop.com I’d love to hear your thoughts! Victor

Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

Backsy.ai▲11I got tired of endless survey forms that nobody wants to fill out. So I built Backsy, an AI-powered feedback tool where people can just type (or speak) their thoughts, and AI auto-scores the relevant product attributes—no need for structured forms or manual analysis. Backsy also works with bulk feedback (think scraped Reddit threads, support emails, app reviews, etc.), making it easy to extract trends from raw user comments. Would love to hear your thoughts—especially if you’ve struggled with feedback fatigue or collecting useful insights at scale!

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

Excited to share something I've been building recently called ReplyGuy. I made it to solve a personal pain with a SaaS product I built, which was that we were always monitoring Reddit and Twitter to see if anyone had mentioned keywords indicating they were looking for us. Before, we had to go manually respond to posts, often missing good mention opportunities. Would love for HN folks to try it and let me know what you think!

After a month of diving into Next.js for the first time, I built a cool app that helps SaaS founders connect with users, tweak their offerings, and boost revenue. You can easily add feedback forms to your website to gather and analyze customer feedback whenever you want. It has a 30-second setup, requires no coding, and is compatible with WordPress, etc. Tell me, guys, what do you think, knowing I'm just a beginner?

Plaudera▲4Hey HN! I'm Fran, a full-stack dev working on this as a side project. The problem: I've been building SaaS products and the feedback loop is broken. Feature requests come in through Slack DMs, support tickets, emails, Twitter — everywhere except somewhere useful. By the time you look at them, half are duplicates and the rest have no signal on priority. So I built Plaudera — a public feedback board with voting, an embeddable widget, and AI-powered duplicate detection. The AI part is practical, not flashy: when someone submits "add night theme option" and you already have "dark mode support"…

orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here. i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things: 1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value. 2. building community — we…

I'm documenting everything about my process. From learning to code, to building the app, and all the way to my outreach efforts. I'm learning as I go and sharing it with everyone who's not a programer, and is daunted to build a software on their own. Trust me. If I can do it, anyone can! You can find my updates on: https://Claritask.com ...as well as video updates on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmqmifW4kIcPclXigay1dQ Would love to hear your feedback on my progress and if you have any suggestions on what I can do better. There's so many task managers out…

Promptly is my first SaaS Project. I built it because I wanted to refine my dev skills and also to have a central place to store my prompts for GPT, Midjourney, and other AI platform and systems. Would love some feedback on the website itself, as well as advice on how I should go about the marketing

MsgMorph▲5Hey HN, for sometime now I am building useful products for the community and every time I build some product I really struggled with collecting feedback for it. I have integrated feedback widgets in the past from posthog and also sent users email from my personal email and much more and mostly no one cared to reply or they ignored the in app widget. So I had to manually send them these email sequences with follow ups to get the feedback out of the users. Because feedback is really important if you want to build a product actually for its users. And then even if I got the feedback from people…

After reading the book Getting to Yes, I really want some tool to help me negotiate more efficiently without having to memorize everything principle. You start by putting in interests of each party, then you can explore different functions: how to respond to the other party, explore objective criteria out there or brainstorm more negotiation options. Still working on it! Leave me feedback if you have any suggestions!

Upvoicy▲1Hi HN, I built Upvoicy, a feedback management tool (canny alternative) that helps startups and small businesses collect and organize user feedback. Features include: * Public feedback boards * Private boards for internal feedback * Voting system * Status updates (planned, in progress, completed) * Changelog tracking * Clean and simple interface The product is fully built on Bubble.io, so it requires minimal maintenance and is ready to use. I haven’t focused on marketing. I’m looking to sell the project to someone who wants a ready-to-use SaaS and continue developing or growing it. If you’re…
