Customer feedback and roadmap tool for collecting votes and prioritizing features
Feedbase
Collect feedback, prioritize issues, and share product updates
Feedbase lets teams capture customer feedback, prioritize requests, and communicate product status, all built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Supabase for easy self‑hosting.
Overview
Overview
Feedbase is a lightweight product management platform designed for teams that want to gather user feedback, rank feature requests, and keep customers informed about product progress. It offers a public hub where updates can be posted transparently, helping to build trust and reduce support overhead.
Who It's For
Ideal for startups, small product teams, and developers comfortable with a modern JavaScript stack. The tool runs on Next.js with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase for authentication and data storage, making it straightforward to self‑host on Vercel or any compatible Node environment.
Deployment & Extensibility
The repository includes Docker and Vercel deployment guides, allowing quick spin‑up of a private instance. Because the UI leverages shadcn/ui components, you can customize the look and feel without rewriting core logic. While still early in development, the roadmap promises roadmaps, integrations, and analytics to broaden its capabilities.
