Show HN: How do you prioritize user feedback without going insane?

Genuine question for HN – I've been struggling with this for years across side projects and my day job. Feature requests come in from everywhere: Slack, email, Twitter DMs, GitHub issues, support tickets, random conversations. I've tried spreadsheets, Notion databases, pinned messages – nothing sticks. The loudest users win, not the best ideas. The problems I keep hitting:No single place to...

Show HN: I turn scattered feedback into a prioritized roadmap in 5 min

https://plaudera.com

Hey HN! I'm Fran, a full-stack dev working on this as a side project. The problem: I've been building SaaS products and the feedback loop is broken. Feature requests come in through Slack DMs, support tickets, emails, Twitter — everywhere except somewhere useful. By the time you look at them, half are duplicates and the rest have no signal on priority. So I built Plaudera — a public feedback...

Good point. There are a few (Creditsafe, Experian) but they're expensive and focus on basic credit metrics, not comprehensive financial health analysis. The real value is in the contextual interpretation - understanding what the numbers mean for investment/credit decisions. That requires domain knowledge baked into the analytics, not just clean data feeds. Plus controlling the full pipeline lets us iterate quickly on scoring algorithms based on user feedback. Hard to do that with third-party normalised data.
I use Claude to help me with the copy, I found is the best LLM for that, at least work for me.
Fair point - I started with the Companies House API and traditional parsing too. The issue isn't data access, it's consistency. UK companies file in wildly different formats - some use full GAAP, others micro-entity accounts, many have incomplete data. Rule-based systems work for ~60% of companies, then break on edge cases. Financial health also requires context: Is this debt ratio concerning for their industry/size? Are these cash patterns seasonal or declining? How do you weight profitability vs growth stage? I spent months on traditional approaches first. The AI handles the inconsistency and contextual interpretation that spreadsheet formulas can't.
That's great feedback, thanks a lot!
Thanks!!!
Wrong, my friend, that is only for small companies, big companies accounts are only available in PDF. Plus, in any case you have the raw data, here you have a full financial analysis.

Show HN: I built AI that turns 4 hours of financial analysis into 30 seconds

I built Duebase AI to solve a problem I kept running into in fintech - analyzing UK company financial health takes forever. The process usually goes: download PDFs from Companies House → manually extract data to spreadsheets → calculate ratios → interpret trends. Takes 3-4 hours per company and requires serious financial expertise. The technical challenge: Companies House filings are messy....
