Can I vibecode Savio?

YES· one-shottable

Savio is a table of feedback rows, feature requests that group them, and people and companies that carry MRR, with a triage inbox and a voting board on top. For one product an agent builds that in a sitting and swaps the support-tool connectors for CSV import and a feedback mailbox. What you lose is the live sync from Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot or Salesforce, which is the reason teams pick it over a plain voting board. If your feedback already arrives by email and a spreadsheet, you won't miss it.

Before you start

What you need on hand.

DifficultyIntermediate · Some system setup or keys.

TimeAn hour or two, plus mailbox setup

Claude Code, Codex or CursorAny of them can run the prompt.
Node.js 22better-sqlite3 compiles a native module, so build tools must be installed.
A feedback mailboxA dedicated address such as feedback@yourdomain with IMAP enabled and an app password.
SMTP credentialsFor voting sign-in links; a transactional provider's free tier is enough.
A small server and a domainCustomers have to reach the board, so it can't live only on your laptop.

Before you buildSavio has no free plan. If you only need a public voting page and not per-request MRR, Fider or another open-source board costs nothing to run.

1. Install one agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.
2. Make an empty folder and open it in the agent.
3. Paste the prompt below, press enter, and answer its questions as it builds.

The prompt

Build me a private feedback inbox with a public voting board to replace Savio, for one product. Requirements:

- Node.js 22 + TypeScript: Fastify with server-rendered pages (Eta) and a little vanilla JS.
  `npm start` serves http://localhost:4750: team side at /admin, public voting board at /board.
- Storage: better-sqlite3 in ./data/feedback.db: companies (name, plan, mrr_cents), people (name,
  email, company), feedback (text, source: email / csv / form / manual, person, feature request,
  created_at), feature requests (title, description, status new / planned / in progress /
  shipped / declined, priority 1-5, effort S / M / L, public flag), tags and board votes.
- Inbox: new feedback arrives unlinked. One screen shows it, lets me pick or create a feature
  request with type-ahead over titles, add tags and mark it triaged, with keyboard shortcuts
  for next, link and skip.
- Totals: every feature request shows its feedback count, distinct people and companies and the
  summed MRR, computed in SQL at read time and never stored; sort and filter by status, tag
  and MRR.
- Intake: an IMAP poller (`imapflow`, IMAP_* in .env) turns mail to a feedback@ mailbox into
  feedback and matches the sender to a person by email; CSV import for customers (name, email,
  company, plan, MRR) and for feedback, each with a dry-run preview; a /submit form with a
  honeypot field and a per-IP rate limit.
- Board: public requests sorted by votes, one vote per email confirmed through a magic link
  (nodemailer SMTP from .env), and a shipped list. When a request ships, email everyone who
  gave feedback on it or voted, once each, with an unsubscribe link.
- Export: CSV of feedback and of feature requests with their totals.
- Single team, one admin password in .env (signed cookie). No accounts, no telemetry,
  local-first; outbound calls are your IMAP and SMTP servers only.
- Out of scope: Intercom, Zendesk, HubSpot, Salesforce and Jira connectors, a Chrome extension,
  SSO, several products or roadmaps.
- README: setup, mailbox setup, backups (copy the SQLite file) and a Caddy snippet for /board.

Opens your agent with the prompt filled in, you press enter. Or copy it and paste it into an empty folder.

Then keep going

Next prompts, same folder.

The first prompt builds the core. Run these one at a time in the same folder to grow it into your own Savio.

Add Slack intake to the feedback inbox in this folder. Requirements:

- A Slack message shortcut "Log as feedback" and a /feedback slash command, both posting to
  /slack/events, with the request signature checked against SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET and a
  5-minute timestamp window.
- Match the Slack user's email to a person; if none matches, create one with source "slack".
- Store the message link on the feedback row and reply in-thread with a link to the inbox.
- Ignore bots and messages in channels not listed in .env.
- Update the README with the Slack app setup steps.

Add a weekly digest to the feedback inbox in this folder. Requirements:

- Every Monday at a time set in .env, email the admin the top 10 open feature requests by
  summed MRR, with the change in MRR and feedback count since last week.
- List requests that gained feedback this week but have no priority or effort set.
- A Send now button and a plain-text version of the same email.
- Compute everything in SQL from the existing tables; store only the date of the last send.
- Update the README.

Add a roadmap to the feedback inbox in this folder. Requirements:

- /roadmap shows public feature requests in three columns (planned, in progress, shipped) with
  vote counts, linked to their board pages.
- Admin can set a short public note and a target quarter per request; a private request never
  appears, even by URL.
- Shipped items show the date they changed status.
- Add an RSS feed of shipped items at /roadmap.xml.
- Update the README.

What you lose

Live customer and feedback sync from Intercom, Help Scout, Zendesk, HubSpot and Salesforce
The Chrome extension that logs feedback from any web page
Two-way status sync with Jira and Shortcut
Single sign-on and voting on behalf of customers on the board
Several products and roadmaps, which the higher plans add

Why people still pay

Product managers pay to answer 'which request is worth the most revenue' without a spreadsheet: every request shows its customers, companies and MRR, kept current by the support tool and CRM connections. The founder-run support is part of what the pricing page lists on every plan.

Leaving Savio

Take your data, then cancel.

1 · Take your data out of Savio

1Log in and choose All Feedback in the left sidebar, scroll to the bottom and click Export to CSV: the file is emailed to you.
2Do the same from Feature Requests. You get two CSVs: a high-level list with counts, MRR, status, priority and effort, and a detailed list with each piece of feedback, the person, company, plan, MRR and custom attributes.
3Filters you have applied are respected, so clear them first if you want everything.
4Roadmaps, comments and voting-board votes aren't mentioned as exportable, and no full account export is described: screenshot or copy anything beyond the two CSVs.

2 · Cancel Savio

1We found no cancellation steps in Savio's help center or on the pricing page, which says only 'Cancel any time'; ask the support team in writing.
2The Terms say an agreement renews automatically for 12-month periods unless cancelled in writing at least 60 days before the term ends, so check which term you are on and when it ends.
3When the agreement ends your access rights expire, so finish the exports first.

The Terms also say fees are non-refundable, with an exception only if Savio revokes your license without cause.
Tell voting-board users where the board moved, and keep the old board up while redirects take hold.
The Terms don't cover data deletion: write to dataprotection@savio.io to ask what is kept after you leave.
The feedback CSV includes person email, company, plan and MRR: store it somewhere access-controlled.

Free tier: No free plan. After the trial you need a paid plan to follow feedback, log it or use the board.
Billing: Monthly or annual; annual is labeled two months free, and the page opens on the annual prices. Payment is by card, with invoices only on Enterprise. Savio's Terms say agreements renew automatically for 12-month periods unless cancelled in writing 60 days before the term ends, and that fees are non-refundable; the pricing page doesn't say how that applies to monthly plans, so ask before you choose one.
Hidden costs: Owners, admins and managers are paid seats, each billed beyond the first. Integrations are gated by plan: Zendesk, Zapier, the API and Jira need Professional, and HubSpot, Salesforce and Segment need Business.
