Stacks / Support
Easy
Fider
Feature votes you host. Fider is AGPL-3.0 — Canny without the feedback seat.
The problem
Canny is a hosted feedback board: posts, votes, and a roadmap. You wanted that board on a box you run. Fider is AGPL-3.0: ideas, votes, tags, and a public board. This is not Canny's every changelog or Salesforce sync.

Agent setup prompt
Replace Canny with Fider (https://fider.io). - Postgres, bind HTTP to 0.0.0.0:$PORT. SMTP via Resend. Create one board and one test vote. - Import is a cutover unless you still have a CSV. Write AGENT_PROMPT.md. Do not claim every Canny integration.
Also as markdown: /stacks/fider-feedback.md
FAQ
- Why not Chatwoot?
- Chatwoot is the inbox (/replace/intercom). Canny is a public vote board. Fider is that job.
- Changelog too?
- Fider is the board. A published changelog can sit on Ghost or the wiki. Do not promise Canny Changelog 1:1.
