Nolt
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
A feature request board with voting, a roadmap and a changelog, deliberately simple and embeddable in a product.
Build a feature request board. STACK - Astro with a Node adapter, SQLite POSTS - Title, body, author, status; status changes appended to a history table VOTING - One vote per identity per post, no un-vote; a vote is an event - Identity from a signed token your product mints, so nobody makes a second account DUPLICATES - Before allowing a new post, search existing ones by similarity and show the closest three - Merging moves votes and keeps the old URL alive - Without this, a board becomes forty versions of the same request within a month THE ROADMAP - Three columns from status, ordered by votes CLOSING THE LOOP - When a request ships, email everyone who voted, once Include the schema, the similarity search and the merge.
What you lose
- A board simple enough that customers actually post on it
- Hosting and moderation you do not run
- Single sign-on from your product so people do not create another account
If you would rather not build
- GitHub Discussions, which is free
