Feedbase is a self-hosted, open-source feedback management tool. Give your users a place to submit ideas, report bugs, and upvote what matters — all on your own infrastructure.
No SaaS subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. Your data stays yours.
Inspired by tools like Canny, Fider, and Productboard — but free, open, and self-hosted.
- Feedback boards — public or private boards per project, with upvotes and threaded comments
- Suggestion statuses — customisable statuses (Under Review, Planned, In Progress, Done, Won't Do)
- Public roadmap — kanban-style roadmap view your users can follow
- Changelog — publish release notes tied to resolved suggestions
- Discord integration — webhooks on new posts, slash commands to update statuses from Discord
- Email notifications — notify voters when a suggestion status changes
- Roles & permissions — Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer
- Admin panel — manage users, projects, and instance settings at
/admin - Update notifications — get notified in the admin panel when a new release is available
