Plaudera

Hey 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"…

Plaudera launched on February 18, 2026 with 4 votes, #2,350 of 16,628 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Collect feedback, prioritize feature requests, and share a public roadmap — in one simple tool built for SaaS teams.

Collect customer feedback in a private workspace, dedupe and prioritize internally, then selectively share outcomes when you are ready.

Plaudera helps SaaS product teams collect feedback privately, spot repeated demand, and decide what to share — without turning every request into a roadmap promise. Most tools count votes. Plaudera scores demand confidence using 9 weighted signals — so you know whether a feature request represents real, diverse demand or just a loud minority. Plaudera gives your team one private place to collect feedback, merge duplicates, prioritize what matters, and selectively share decisions or outcomes. Collect feedback through a link, widget, or collaborator flow, then keep it organized internally before anything is shared back out. I have to manually export each report one at a time, which takes 20+…from plaudera.com

    Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy2025 · bugdrop.app · ▲335

    Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that. Especially not someone just trying to use your product. So I built…

    I built a chatbot to converse with 3M SaaS product reviews2024 · reviewradar.ai · ▲92

    Hey HN, I'm Andrei, and together with my co-founder Roman have been working on a tool called Reviewradar. Working with startups, doing interviews and sifting through endless software reviews are daunting tasks. So, we built a chatbot that lets you chat with over 3 million reviews from more than 100K SaaS products. With Reviewradar, you can ask questions like: - create a comprehensive SWOT analysis for both Notion and Obsidian - give me negative feedback and complaints you have about Postmark - summarise the reviews you have on products in the OCR category I would love to get your feedback on…

    I Built a Customer Feedback Tool2025 · usefeedlyst.com · ▲34

    Hey HN, I've been making products for almost a year now. I always started projects and stopped after 2 weeks because I lost motivation. But this time, I’m determined to release it – even if it’s not perfect yet! Let me introduce Feedlyst: a customer feedback tool where you can create boards, let customers submit & upvote feedback, and turn ideas into action. I hope this tool will be helpful for you! Would love your feedback! Raphael

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
