Frill is a clean, hosted feedback-roadmap-announcement suite. GlintPost gives you the same trio — open source, self-hosted, and yours to own.
docker compose up -d --buildThe bundled stack runs the app, a PostgreSQL database, and local file storage — no external accounts required. Everything Frill keeps on its servers stays on yours.
GlintPost covers the same feedback, roadmap, and announcement trio while adding self-hosting, an MIT license, multi-tenant workspaces, and a headless API — so you keep the clean-widget experience without handing over your data or paying per plan tier.
Frill pairs feedback boards, roadmaps, and announcements in a well-designed, hosted product that's popular for its clean UI and simple setup. It's a closed-source SaaS with tiered per-plan pricing and no self-hosting option.
