@martinkbs Looks good.

@martinkbs looks interesting

I'm not sure it's FOSS
Although I guess that doesn't rule it out

Do we have a link for that?

@roundhouse1924 : i stand corrected but they don't exactly shout it - sorry for not looking further

@martinkbs Great find and suggestion!

As much as surveys apps, this kind of feedback tool is an absolute must for nowadays' digital business realm.

And that is why it gets my vote too!

@micmc There are a lot of modules available in Flectra / Odoo for providing feedback, and they are integrated with each other. It is an incredible amount of functionality and there is a request for it on Cloudron here:

I don't see the relevance of sharing that here. I mean, I'd like to have timeline-js on Cloudron too, but there isn't really any overlap in the features nor purposes of ClearFlask and timeline-js, so why post it here?

(and I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I've spotted you doing this a few times now, i.e. posting a link to a completely different not-really-relevant app to a thread, which imho isn't very useful nor helpful to anyone )

More relevant here are Fider and Astuto which are both in the same category as ClearFlask.

@jdaviescoates Hi!

People here have posted alternatives solutions in some of my Application Wishes and I found it useful. (I hadn't heard of one of them before and wouldn't have known about it.) Isn't it part of the culture here to mention alternatives?

The Timeline application I mentioned would be a useful tool for visually indicating how an application is making its way through a roadmap through to delivery and eventually end-of-life.

The business solution application could solve many problems, including feedback and providing a roadmap, so I thought it might be useful for yourself or others interested in such tools to hear about it. You must want a dedicated solution instead.

Founder of ClearFlask here, I can answer all your questions and I would love it if you add ClearFlask to your App library. Let me know how I can help.

@timconsidine
ClearFlask is FOSS, the cloud version is the same codebase as self-hosted version and licensed under AGPLv3.

@loudlemur
Recaptcha does not get loaded if it is not configured. If captchas are still wanted, I can fairly easily support an alternative captcha, please do let me know.

@jdaviescoates
Astuto is no longer maintained, I wouldn't recommend it. https://github.com/riggraz/astuto/issues/67
Fider is a good lightweight alternative for simple feedback and voting with self-hosting as its primary purpose. ClearFlask is more heavy-weight built-for-scale meant for handling large amount of feedback. It has a powerful dashboard to quickly address feedback and turn it into tasks to prioritize your project Roadmap. It can also be self-hosted via Docker.

Hi @matus, great to have you here! thanks for the heads up re Astuto.

See this post to check out how to package an app for Cloudron:

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/10712

It'd be great to have ClearFlask on Cloudron!

[timconsidine]

@Matus very good to have you here (sorry for late reply).
I am tempted to have a bash at packaging this for Cloudron.
But I'm sure I will need to shout for help.
Might take me some time so don't set any expectations !

[Matus]

@timconsidine that's great, just letting you know I'm still here too so feel free to reach out to me anytime.

Clearflask is containerized via docker and can be configured by config files. All of this is part of a docker compose available in the sources.

Edit: seems like cloudeon doesn't use docker but no worry. The production hosted version is not on docker and the sources have all the setup scripts to install it on a redhat based system. There is a java tomcat backend and a nodejs reverse proxy. Can both be installed on one host

[timconsidine]

@Matus thank you

Cloudron does use Docker, but not docker-compose.

Let me take a look, scratch my head a bit and do some tests. Then I will shout when I can't fix something.

Hi everyone, I just found this topic by chance while I was surfing the web. I am the creator of Astuto and just wanted to say that Astuto development has been resumed 5 months ago! If anyone is interested, see you on the GitHub page

@riggraz hi and welcome here, you might be interested in the actual Astuto thread which was opened here long ago at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3001/astuto-for-user-customer-feedback-and-roadmap
