Collect, prioritize, and showcase customer feedback with ease

Overview
Overview
Astuto is a self‑hosted platform that lets product teams collect, organize, and prioritize feedback directly from their users. It provides a public roadmap to showcase upcoming work, supports simple email or OAuth2 sign‑in, and includes moderation tools so you can control which submissions appear. Anonymous feedback is also possible, encouraging input from visitors who prefer not to register.
Deployment & Extensibility
The service runs in Docker containers and can be launched with a single docker‑compose.yml file, making setup straightforward for teams familiar with container orchestration. Integration is handled through configurable webhooks and a full REST API, allowing you to sync feedback with tools like Jira, Trello, or Slack. Environment variables let you customize branding, invitation flows, and site privacy settings without modifying code.
