Hey Product Hunters 👋 We are launching a tiny widget to help you collect feedback, anywhere on your websites. That's it! Feedback Fin is free forever and open-source 💜 Why we built Feedback Fin? Getting feedback from the users is at the core of building any product and small non-intrusive widget is the best way to get quick feedback from your users. But .. why are all feedback widgets out there either 👀 dated-looking 💰 pricey, complex 🙄 or simply annoying We really liked design of feedback fish and intercom but prices range anywhere from $20-$100 per month. Other ones like Hotjar just looks blah. Some tools even limit how many responses you can get!! So we did what we as developers know best, built one inspired by paid feedback widgets, and created an open-source and free alternative. ✍️ Give it a try - Add your feedback on the widget here: https://www.feedbackfin.com - See that feedback LIVE on Rowy's collaborative spreadsheet-UI Optionally, you can further extend this any way you want with Rowy's low-code platform. Automate on the incoming feedback (send to your team's internal slack, discord, email the user ..), the possibilities are truly endless :) Cheers!! 🎉

It seems to be a pretty clear copy of Feedback Fish [1], using a Webflow template to support a different Open Source project. I'd be able to look at this more genuinely if there were some indication that so much was borrowed from their work. [1]: https://feedback.fish/

@gill_kyle Hi Kyle, glad you raised this :) We actually explored all the options out there for feedback widgets and feedback fish eventhough we found it to be cool, it was super pricey at $20 per month for something so simple. Alternative, options like Hotjar widget just didn't look great and not customizable. So we build Feedback Fin, it is actually fully open source and free, and you can use it with your own webhook URL end points. There is absolutely no requirement to use it with the recommended open-source project. You can checkout the project on Github here: https://github.com/rowyio/feedba...

@mrniamster looks like you totally missed reading the description with details of why we built this and how we actually like the design of feedback fish. It's fully free and open source for anyone to use any way they want.

While I share the opinion of Feedback Fish being too pricey and also think that launches of similar but cheaper products are a natural, competitive market process, I would have loved to see you being more cautious and not releasing a lookalike clone.

@alexander_eble understand your sentiment, but actually we didn't make this to compete at a cheaper price point, we just made a fully free forever and open source alternative. Just like how there are a lot of other free open source versions of existing products.

@harinilabs I totally understand and am totally fine with this point. Still, I always like to see a clear differentiation from existing products. In this case, Feedback Fin and Feedback Fish, at least from a user point of view, look alike which doesn't seem alright for me.
