What It Can't Do
- •Self-hosted requires managing DB, SSL, and email service by yourself. Cloud free tier has usage limits. The out-of-box features are basic; advanced reporting may need custom development.
Use Cases

- SaaS companies run public roadmap portals
Detailed Introduction
Fider is a self-hosted or cloud-hosted feedback platform that lets your customers tell you what they need. It supports voting, commenting, categorization, and status tracking. With both managed cloud and free self-hosted options, Fider helps teams build the right product by focusing on real user demands. Unlike proprietary tools like Canny or UserVoice, Fider is fully open-source, giving you complete control over your data and no vendor lock-in.
Troubleshooting & FAQ (1)
TroubleshootingWhy does pg_upgrade fail with 'Checking for reg* data types in user tables' when upgrading PostgreSQL with Fider?
Fider's posts table has a language column of reg* type (e.g., regconfig), which references system OIDs that pg_upgrade does not preserve. Workaround: dump the Fider database using pg_dump, drop it, perform the PostgreSQL major version upgrade with pg_upgrade, then restore the database from the dump. A permanent fix via a migration to convert the column to text is in progress (see issue #1406).
