[OSS GAP] User Feedback Collection #feedback #too-expensive #self-hosted #cheap-win

Pain: Canny starts at $79/mo for a voting board. Most small teams just want a lightweight way to collect and triage user requests.

Why now: Small teams in 2026 are actively cutting tool spend. “User Feedback Collection” is a category where the paid incumbents are priced for companies far larger than the actual buyers.

Tiny wedge: User feedback board embeddable in 2 minutes, no recurring SaaS fee.

Why this wins: Replaces recurring Canny spend with a boring self-hosted alternative most teams can actually run and understand.

Stack: Node.js + SQLite + embeddable Web Component + webhooks.
