Show HN: I turn scattered feedback into a prioritized roadmap in 5 min

[superproton]

Hey HN! I'm Fran, a full-stack dev working on this as a side project. The problem: I've been building SaaS products and the feedback loop is broken. Feature requests come in through Slack DMs, support tickets, emails, Twitter — everywhere except somewhere useful. By the time you look at them, half are duplicates and the rest have no signal on priority. So I built Plaudera — a public feedback board with voting, an embeddable widget, and AI-powered duplicate detection. The AI part is practical, not flashy: when someone submits "add night theme option" and you already have "dark mode support" with 24 votes, it catches that and suggests a merge. Keeps the board clean without manual triage. Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL. The widget is a lightweight embed — single script tag, no framework dependency. Currently offering lifetime deals at $49 while I'm in early growth mode. Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the AI dedup approach, or the indie SaaS journey. Also genuinely looking for feedback — I eat my own dog food, so Plaudera's own feedback board is at feedback.plaudera.com.

Hey HN, Fran here. Quick backstory: I run a small SaaS and last quarter I noticed 4 users cancelled within the same week. When I reached out to ask why, every single one mentioned features they'd requested months ago. One had asked three times — in a Slack thread, a support email, and a Typeform survey. I never connected the dots because the feedback was everywhere and nowhere. I looked for a tool to fix this. Most feedback platforms were either enterprise-priced, overcomplicated, or dead projects. So I built Plaudera over a few weekends. It's simple on purpose: a public board where users submit and vote on ideas, an embeddable widget so feedback comes in where users already are, and automatic duplicate detection so "dark mode" and "add night theme" don't live as separate requests for 6 months. Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL. The widget is a single script tag — no framework dependency. Currently doing lifetime deals at $49 because I'm early and want real users giving real feedback (yes, I use Plaudera's own board for Plaudera — feedback.plaudera.com). Would love your thoughts. What would make you switch from your current setup — even if that setup is a spreadsheet you haven't opened since October?
