What ClearFlask actually does
ClearFlask is a self-hosted community feedback tool designed to help you collect user suggestions and organise a public roadmap. It serves as an open-source alternative to proprietary services like Canny and UserVoice within the polls and events category. You can deploy it using Docker under the AGPL-3.0 licence.
Best fit: This is a suitable fit for product teams and project maintainers who want to centralise user feature requests on their own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party SaaS platforms.
Worth knowing: The AGPL-3.0 licence places copyleft requirements on your modifications if you offer the software as a service over a network. It also competes in a space with many established hosted and self-hosted alternatives, which may affect community plugin availability.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for data storage and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
