I'm working on https://suggestionboard.io, a simple live polling and Q&A webapp that doesn't require an account. Just launched the first version and trying to figure out if there's a market.


The hardest question to answer honestly. Have you tried talking to people who run live events or team standups? That feels like your most obvious early use case — they already have the pain and no account requirement is a genuine advantage there. Good luck with it.


Thanks for your comment, just saw it. Yes, what you're saying is clearly the right next step, but contacting people out of the blue is so scary. I guess I should force myself to.


Nice.

Feedback board or feature board are the terms, and there's a plethora of SaaS options, from tiny to large.

I recently searched for one, but they were either over budget, required extra user accounts, weren't GDPR compliant, or too complex. In the end, I coded a custom solution for my site.

Yours would have fit if I had found it earlier.


This is good to hear. If I may ask, what was your use case?


Wanted to test another way to capture feedback for a bunch of apps and stuff on the same site. Registered users can add new posts to the feedback board, and all can comment and vote on them. And I can set a status on a post, so they see if something was implemented; simple done state.

I liked nolt.io from the design and stuff. But it does too much, and the monthly price didn't fit for a simple test. The others in that league were the same. The indehacker's are mostly not GDPR-compliant and have this doom-laden smell of neglect.
