Show HN: After 3 months of coding, I built a feedback tool for indie makersfeedhunt.app...
Hey HN,

After 3 months of coding and countless iterations, I’ve launched Feedhunt, a lightweight feedback tool designed for indie makers and small teams.

The idea came from my own frustration with managing user feedback while building projects. Existing tools felt too bloated, complicated, or expensive ($359/month isn’t indie-friendly). So, I decided to scratch my own itch and create something focused and affordable.

With Feedhunt, you can:

- Collect feedback from your users - Let them vote on what matters most - Organize feedback with tags and status filters to keep your roadmap clear

I built this using nextjs and PostgreSQL. It’s intentionally simple—just enough to solve the problem without unnecessary fluff.

It’s live now, and I’d love for you to try it out: https://feedhunt.app/

Would appreciate any feedback, whether it’s about the product, the approach, or the tech. Thanks for taking a look!

Oh wow, I was looking for exactly that about 3 weeks ago for my app (https://minimalboard.com/). I settled on Sleekplan then although is has quite a lot of overhead for my simple use case. Just a heads up, there were two barriers why I disregarded many tools

1) No free tier. Setting up payment just to try something out for a small project is such a pain, I don't see why small project should not have a free tier and big established ones pay. 2) Sign Up required for users to give feedback. I get that this is an easy way to filter bots but its such a hassle for users especially when starting out.

Thanks for the feedback! I totally understand your concerns—those are common challenges I kept in mind while building Feedhunt.

- Feedhunt has a free tier to help indie makers and small projects get started without upfront costs. - While sign-up is required for users to post feedback, it helps keep the platform clean and ensures quality input.

Other features:

- Interactive feedback boards with voting functionality - Tagging system for organizing feedback (Suggestions, Bugs, etc.) - Customizable design with logos and themes - Sync with your roadmap to prioritize the right features Also, there are no recurring payments—just two simple plans: a 3-month pass and a 1-year pass.

Would love for you to give it a try and let me know your thoughts!

Free tier is good, Sign up is a deal breaker for me personally - other projects might be fine with that.
