Our Values

What drives us

These principles guide every decision we make, from feature development to pricing strategy.

Developer-First

Built by a developer who actually uses the tools they create. No corporate bloat, just practical solutions.

Keep It Simple

Why overcomplicate things? We focus on core features that actually matter to indie developers.

Community-Driven

Our roadmap is shaped by real user feedback. We eat our own dog food and listen to our users.

Fair Pricing

No hidden enterprise features or surprise price jumps. Transparent pricing that scales with your success.

The Problem

Building great products shouldn’t require bloated tools, over-engineered workflows, or steep learning curves. Yet for many indie developers and small teams, managing feedback and product ideas still feels like overkill.

Existing tools either cost $359/month for basic features (looking at you, Canny) or come with complex workflows designed for enterprise teams. Where’s the middle ground for developers who just want to collect feedback without the ceremony?

Too expensive for indie budgets
Built for enterprises, not developers
Complex setup and maintenance

The Solution

StackVote was created to make feedback simple again. We believe feature voting and public roadmaps should be fast to set up, easy to maintain, and affordable at every stage of growth.

Whether you’re launching your first product or scaling user feedback across projects, StackVote helps you stay connected to what your users need — without slowing you down or breaking your budget.

The Creator

Built by someone who gets it

StackVote was built by an indie software engineer passionate about creating practical tools for other developers. From hacking together gaming clan websites in the early 2000s to leading large-scale engineering efforts today, every project has been rooted in hands-on learning and execution.

The goal behind StackVote is simple: create a lightweight tool that does one thing really well — capturing and prioritizing user feedback. As an engineer who builds side projects regularly, the vision for StackVote came from a need that most developers experience firsthand.

StackVote is proudly solo-built and actively maintained. It’s shaped by the challenges real developers face and designed to grow alongside your product. No corporate committees, no feature bloat — just a tool built by someone who actually uses it.
