What it does
One place for every idea
Stop debating which ideas matter. Let your users tell you with votes, structured submissions, and AI-powered triage.
Structured idea submission with voting
Dedicated feedback boards become your single source of truth. Users submit ideas and the community votes to surface what matters most. Duplicates get caught before they split the signal.
AI-powered deduplication
Quackback detects duplicate submissions, suggests categories, and auto-triages incoming ideas so your team focuses on decisions, not sorting. New ideas land in an admin inbox ready for review.
Transparent prioritization via roadmap
Top-voted ideas flow into your public roadmap. Users see their ideas progress from submitted to shipped, building trust and reducing support load. Every announcement notifies the people who voted.
Open source and self-hostable
Most idea management software charges per seat or per response. Quackback is free and open source under AGPL-3.0. Your idea volume can grow without your bill growing with it, and you keep full control of your data.
The process
From raw idea to shipped feature
Five stages your users see progress through. Every submission travels the same path so nothing gets lost along the way.
- Submit — anyone submits through your boards or an embedded widget
- Deduplicate — AI flags duplicate submissions and suggests merges
- Vote — your community surfaces the ideas with real support
- Prioritize — your team updates statuses and adds items to the roadmap
- Ship and announce — notify every voter via your changelog

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is idea management software?
Idea management software gives your users and team members a structured way to submit, discuss, and vote on ideas. It replaces scattered suggestions in emails and Slack with a centralized board where the best ideas rise to the top through voting.
How do you track ideas from customers?
Set up a public idea board where customers submit suggestions directly. Quackback deduplicates similar ideas with AI, lets users vote on submissions, and connects top-voted ideas to your product roadmap for transparent prioritization.
What is the difference between idea management and feature requests?
They overlap significantly. Idea management is broader — it can include internal innovation, process improvements, and strategic suggestions. Feature requests focus specifically on product functionality. Quackback handles both with configurable boards for different submission types.
