In simple English
This tool lets you collect customer reviews through a custom form. You manage those reviews on a private dashboard. You can then show them on your website using code. It runs on your own server so you keep all your data. It costs nothing in software fees, but takes your time to set up.
What it is
Reviewskits is an open-source platform for gathering and showing customer testimonials. It includes a multi-step form builder, a moderation dashboard, and code packages to display reviews anywhere.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to show customer praise on their landing pages without paying monthly subscription fees to third-party services.
- Runs on your own infrastructure so no one else holds your data.
- Includes ready-to-use form widgets for React and Vue.
- Provides a full application programming interface (an API, which is a set of rules letting different software programs talk to each other) for custom setups.
- Requires Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) knowledge to install and keep running.
- Uses several backend services like PostgreSQL (a relational database, which is a structured store for saving information) and Redis, which need server RAM (Random Access Memory, the fast working memory of a computer).
- Licensed under AGPL-3.0 (a strict licence requiring you to share your source code if you modify the software and let others use it over a network).
