Show HN: How do you prioritize user feedback without going insane?
Genuine question for HN – I've been struggling with this for years across side projects and my day job.
Feature requests come in from everywhere: Slack, email, Twitter DMs, GitHub issues, support tickets, random conversations. I've tried spreadsheets, Notion databases, pinned messages – nothing sticks. The loudest users win, not the best ideas.
The problems I keep hitting:
No single place to point users to when they say "I have an idea" No way to let users signal what actually matters to them I forget half the requests within a week Zero visibility for users on whether their feedback was even heard
I got frustrated enough to build something. It's called Plaudera – a dead simple public feedback board with voting. I'm literally using it to collect feedback on itself right now:
But honestly I'm more curious about what's worked for others. Do you just live in GitHub Issues? Is there a workflow I'm missing? For those running small teams or solo projects – how do you decide what to build next?
