  Hey Everyone, FEEDBACKdeck is a side project I'm working on while building my bootstrapped startup — Clustrr. I needed a tool to capture user feedback and short pop-up surveys seemed an excellent choice. I scoured the Internet for a service that would fit my needs. But most services meant shelling out $200 - $350 a year for the most basic plan (read limited plan). I feel that short survey tools can be decentralised and self-hosted. To me there appears no benefit of running them from a cloud infrastructure. This translates to huge savings.

  The plugin can be used on any self-hosted WordPress site. Startups can use the plugin on their coming soon/launch pages months before the actual product launch and start gaining valuable user feedback. Blogs can benefit from gaining feedback on publications from it's readers.

  I had a hard time writing the sales page copy. Would love to have your opinion on the copy, design and the product itself.
