Ideabug — self-hosted, embeddable feedback widget in Rails

by Maciej Litwiniuk —

I just open-sourced Ideabug — a self-hosted Rails 8 app that gives you an embeddable in-app widget for announcements, bug reports, and feature requests, without the SaaS tax.

You drop a <script> tag into your host app, authenticate contacts via a signed JWT (RS256), and get:

  • In-app announcements with per-user read tracking
  • One-click bug reports with auto-attached context (URL, viewport, UA)
  • Feature requests + a public Now/Next/Shipped roadmap
  • JWT-driven audience segmentation for targeted announcements

Stack is Rails 8 + Postgres + Redis, Hotwire (Turbo/Stimulus), Tailwind + DaisyUI, ActionText/Lexxy, Minitest. MIT licensed, still WIP - feedback and PRs very welcome.

Comments

Oh, and the source is on GitHub: https://github.com/Humadroid-io/ideabug - README has the JWT key-pair setup and embed snippet.
