I was getting feature requests through Instagram story replies and it was destroying me

Okay so for context I have this little productivity side project that somehow got a bunch of engaged users which is amazing but also became my personal hell, these people would send me ideas and bug reports through literally every channel that exists on the internet

Like I'm talking Twitter DMs at 3am, Reddit messages, random emails to an address I forgot existed, Google Forms from 6 months ago, and yes genuinely Instagram story replies where they'd be like "yo can you add dark mode" and I'd screenshot it and then lose the screenshot in my camera roll with 4000 other photos, I appreciated every single person taking time to help but I was legitimately losing my mind trying to track everything

Eventually I just built feedbok.com for myself where everything lands in one spot automatically, so now when someone mentions they want a feature or reports something broken it all shows up together and I can actually see patterns, like oh wait 23 people asked for the same keyboard shortcut or this specific bug keeps happening on Android

The wild part isn't even the organization honestly, it's that I'm finally building stuff people actually want instead of features I thought were cool at 2am, my retention basically doubled because users see their suggestions get implemented and they know I'm listening, before I was just guessing and building random things that felt right but now I can see exactly what matters to people who actually use it daily
