This is exactly what I wanted to build for my last project. So glad someone else did! Looks nice. Can you add some info to the README on how to integrate in some simple steps? or are you not ready for this yet?

  Thanks @jack Yes I'm planning to do that. any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated

    Having it as a 'yarn add/npm install Moufette' with no other steps would be lovely!

Thanks for sharing @jamalx31. Something like this has been on my open source todo list for a while. Great work - looks sharp. Bonus points for the easy heroku deployment. Curious - any reason behind using mongo vs a relational db? Was that more aligned with the apollo stack (I haven't kept up with it)?

  Thanks @masonhensley I used Mongo just because I have more experience with it. is there any advantage of using relational db in this case?

Thanks for sharing! I'm building a small "newsfeed-widget-thingy" and I'm sure I'll learn something from your work.

Quick and easy to set up and integrate with our site [1] The floating tab doesn't seem to float though. It sticks to the original screen on load but doesn't move when scrolling down the page - see link for details. 1: https://goodhere.org/ https://goodhere.org/

  Oh, thanks for using it! I will look into, the widget is not perfect and still need work. And contribution would be much appreciated

    It should be 'position: fixed;'

If you're looking for a more structured (Open Source) user feedback collection app, see Fider: https://github.com/getfider/fider https://github.com/getfider/fider

  fider has different approach, something more like Canny. Moufette meant to be embeddable and build-in
