If you ship a product and take feedback seriously, you already know the problem: users have ideas, you have a roadmap, and there’s no clean way to show one to the other. So you end up either building it yourself, or paying Canny or Beamer a recurring fee that scales with every user you add — not with how much you actually use the tool.
Shiplog fixes that — and we’ve just listed the full source code on the Megastore76 store.

What it does
Shiplog is a complete, self-hosted product feedback board and changelog system — the indie-developer alternative to Canny and Beamer, without the per-tracked-user or per-MAU billing:
- A public roadmap board with Planned / In Progress / Live columns and anonymous one-vote-per-visitor upvoting
- A changelog with Markdown formatting, tags, and cover images
- A dependency-free embeddable widget — one script tag adds a “What’s New” button with an unread-count badge to any site
- Automatic email notifications to subscribers when you publish a new changelog entry
- A token-protected admin dashboard to manage roadmap status and write/publish release notes
Why it’s worth a one-time purchase
Canny starts at £15–78+/month and scales steeply with tracked users (up to roughly £400+/month at just 1,000 users). Beamer charges roughly £39–197/month, with its feedback/voting board and NPS survey each priced as separate £78/month add-ons — a full stack runs roughly £235/month at 10,000 MAU. Shiplog gives you the same core toolkit as a one-time purchase you host yourself for £49.
What’s inside
- Full TypeScript source code: Next.js 14, Prisma ORM, Tailwind CSS
- Seeded demo data, so it runs immediately after setup
- A README covering setup, moving from SQLite to Postgres for production, and swapping in a real email provider (a working Resend code sample is included)
It’s built for indie developers, small SaaS teams, and agencies who want a real “What’s New” and roadmap experience on their product without adopting another monthly line item.
Get it
Shiplog is available now as a one-time source-code purchase: Shiplog — Self-Hosted Changelog & Feedback Board (Source Code).
This is the second release in our series of focused, problem-solving tools — small, working products that solve one real, recurring pain point well, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. More to come.
