We Built Feedlog: A Free Feedback Tool for Startups (Looking for Early Beta Users)

As developers, we love building features.

We ship fast, fix bugs, and continuously improve our products.

But there's one problem that almost every side project, SaaS, or startup eventually runs into:

User feedback is everywhere.

A bug report comes through email.

A feature request appears in Discord.

Someone mentions your product on X.

A customer opens a support chat.

Someone else sends a long email with great suggestions.

Another teammate copies everything into Notion.

A month later, you're trying to remember:

  • Who requested this feature?
  • How many people asked for it?
  • Did we already reply?
  • Is this actually a bug or a feature request?
  • Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

You know there's valuable feedback somewhere.

The problem is that it's scattered across too many places.

We ran into exactly this issue while building products ourselves, so we decided to build Feedlog.

Instead of another complicated product management platform, we wanted a lightweight feedback tool that developers and startups could integrate quickly and immediately start collecting user feedback.

Why Most Feedback Workflows Break Down

When you're just getting started, collecting feedback is easy.

You have a handful of users.

You answer every email personally.

Every feature request feels memorable.

A Notion page or spreadsheet is enough.

But things change surprisingly fast.

As your product grows, feedback starts arriving from everywhere:

  • Email
  • Discord
  • Slack
  • GitHub Issues
  • Support chat
  • X (Twitter)
  • Reddit
  • Community forums
  • Contact forms

Now your feedback isn't centralized anymore.

It's fragmented.

The biggest problem isn't collecting feedback.

The biggest problem is making sense of it.

You start asking questions like:

  • Which feature has the highest demand?
  • Which bugs affect the most users?
  • Are five different reports actually describing the same problem?
  • Which users should we notify after shipping?
  • What should we build next?

Without a dedicated workflow, answering these questions becomes surprisingly difficult.

Why We Built Feedlog

There are already several well-known feedback platforms on the market.

Some are incredibly powerful.

Some include roadmaps, changelogs, voting systems, and dozens of enterprise features.

But as developers, we noticed something.

Many tools became more complicated than they needed to be.

For small startups, indie hackers, and growing SaaS products, setting everything up often felt heavier than the actual feedback process.

We wanted something different.

Simple.

Fast.

Developer-friendly.

Easy to integrate.

Focused on collecting feedback instead of overwhelming teams with unnecessary complexity.

That's how Feedlog started.

What Feedlog Helps You Do

Feedlog focuses on one goal:

Helping product teams listen to users and build better products.

Here are some of the core capabilities.

Collect Feedback

Give users one dedicated place to submit:

  • Feature requests
  • Bug reports
  • Product ideas
  • Improvement suggestions
  • General feedback

Instead of receiving requests through five different channels, everything arrives in one organized workspace.

Organize Feedback

As your user base grows, duplicate requests become inevitable.

Instead of manually searching through emails or spreadsheets, Feedlog helps keep feedback organized so similar requests are easier to review together.

That means less time organizing and more time building.

Build a Public Feedback Board

Users like transparency.

Instead of wondering whether anyone has seen their suggestion, they can visit your public feedback board to:

  • Submit ideas
  • Vote on existing requests
  • Follow discussions
  • See product progress
  • Discover recently released features

It reduces duplicate requests while keeping your community engaged.

Prioritize Product Decisions

One of the hardest parts of building software is deciding what to work on next.

Every customer thinks their request is the highest priority.

Feedlog helps reveal recurring patterns across all incoming feedback so product decisions are based on real user demand instead of assumptions.

Better priorities usually lead to better products.

Keep Users Updated

Collecting feedback isn't enough.

Closing the loop matters just as much.

With Feedlog, feature requests can move through different stages:

  • Under Review
  • Planned
  • In Progress
  • Released

Users always know what is happening.

That simple transparency builds trust.

Built for Developers

We're developers ourselves.

That heavily influenced how we designed Feedlog.

We wanted onboarding to be straightforward.

We wanted integration to be simple.

We wanted something founders could start using immediately without spending days configuring workflows.

Whether you're building:

  • AI products
  • SaaS platforms
  • Developer tools
  • Mobile applications
  • Web applications
  • Open-source projects

Feedlog fits naturally into your existing workflow.

Why Feedback Matters More Than Ever

Analytics tell you what users did.

Feedback tells you why they did it.

Analytics might show that users abandoned onboarding.

Feedback explains where they became confused.

Analytics show which features are popular.

Feedback explains which features users still wish existed.

Both are important.

But without listening to customers, it's easy to build features that nobody actually wants.

Good products aren't built by guessing.

They're built by continuously listening, learning, and improving.

We're Looking for Early Beta Users

Feedlog is currently in private beta.

Instead of launching publicly and hoping everything works perfectly, we're partnering with early teams to improve the product together.

During the beta, we're offering:

  • ✅ Free integration
  • ✅ Free onboarding
  • ✅ Direct support from our team
  • ✅ Early access to upcoming features
  • ✅ A chance to influence our roadmap

If you're currently managing feedback through Google Forms, Notion, spreadsheets, Discord, Slack, or email, we'd love to help you switch.

There's no cost during the beta.

We'd Love Your Feedback

One of the funny things about building a feedback platform is that we need feedback ourselves.

If you're a founder or developer, we'd genuinely love to hear:

  • How do you currently collect user feedback?
  • What's the biggest pain point in your workflow?
  • What's missing from today's feedback tools?
  • Which feature would make your life easier?

Every conversation helps us improve.

Hopefully, Feedlog can help your team build better products by making user feedback easier to collect, organize, and act on.
