What is it?
Fider is a feedback portal that lets customers post ideas, vote on suggestions and comment on them, so product teams can see which requests matter most. It is aimed at companies that want a public or semi-public place to collect feature requests instead of scattering them across emails and support tickets.
Fider can be used as a hosted service run by its creators, or self-hosted on your own servers and infrastructure at no software cost. The project is written in Go and is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and its documentation lives at docs.fider.io.
The project is maintained with community contributions through Open Collective, which also funds donations and sponsorships.
