I got tired of overkill survey tools, so I built a programmable feedback API.
I kept needing to ask users one quick question - "How was onboarding?" or "How would you rate this screen?" - and every existing option felt like a massive context switch. Survey tools redirects users away from my app and get ignored. Building a custom backend just to save a "1-5" rating felt like a waste of engineering time.
So I built fdbck (fdbck.sh). It is a simple API to collect structured feedback - no complex survey builder required.
How it works
One API call to create your questions.
Token-based auth generates a unique link for each respondent.
Native rendering: Use the React or Flutter SDKs to show the question inline, or use the clean, hosted response page.
Structured data: Results flow back to your systems automatically via signed webhooks or the API.
Why use an API for this?
Because it is programmable, it works where traditional tools don't. You can let your AI agents create questions and consume structured human input to make decisions for example.
What it is NOT
It isn't for 20-question surveys with branching logic (use Typeform for that). It is for micro-feedback: Yes/No, single choice, multiple choice, or rating scales. That is it.
The Free tier includes 1,000 responses/month and unlimited questions. I’m looking for early users to try it out and tell me what is broken in the dev experience.
