In simple English
This tool collects and shows customer reviews on your website. You can gather feedback, approve the best comments, and put them on your pages. It is an open-source project that you can run on your own server or use in the cloud. It helps you build trust with new visitors without paying for a monthly service. You need some technical skill to set it up on your own hardware.
What it is
Reviewsup.io is an open-source review and testimonial management system built with TypeScript. It provides an admin dashboard and embeddable widgets to collect, manage, and display customer feedback.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to collect testimonials from users and display them nicely on a landing page without paying for third-party review widgets.
- Open-source code under the MIT licence so you can run it for free.
- Includes an admin dashboard to review and manage customer feedback.
- Can be self-hosted on your own server for complete data privacy.
- Requires Node.js (a tool that lets you run JavaScript on your server), npm, and a database to self-host.
- Has only 11 GitHub stars, which means a small community and few online guides.
- Documentation is basic, so you may need to read the source code to solve setup issues.
